Located at 85 Fengshan Centre, or more commonly referred to by the locals as “Bedok 85”, is a hidden culinary gem called 85 Bedok North Fried Oyster. It was recently featured in the Michelin Guide and east-side foodies should definitely keep a lookout for this stall if they want to satisfy their late-night Orh Luak cravings. Bedok 85 makes an exceptional supper spot as many other stalls are too serving local delicacies till past midnight.
According to the Michelin Guidelines, in order for a stall to be accredited, there are five criterias that it has to meet – the quality of ingredients used, the mastery of cooking techniques and flavours, the projection of the chef’s personality in his/her cuisine, how value for money and the consistency of the dish across the entire menu and how it withstands the test of time.
We visited 85 Bedok North Fried Oyster on a weeknight to see if their signature dish lived up to its hype.
Spoiler alert: It did!
The food centre is huge, but here’s a tip when you are locating 85 Bedok North Fried Oyster: it is nearer to the bus stop (along the roadside). The Oyster Omelette is cooked with egg batter, potato starch, fresh oysters, spring onions and garnished with coriander. In Singapore, you will never fail to see it being served together with a sauce dish of spicy chilli sauce. A S$5 portion of Oyster Omelette will yield enough for two. However, if you’re feeling peckish, you may want to go for the S$8 serving.
As soon as we collected our dish, we were instantly hit by the aromatic whiff of the Orh Luak. The plump juicy oysters tasted like the ocean and the eggs were fried to a crispy golden brown. The best part: biting into the potato starch. It had a thick consistency, followed by a firm chewy texture.
The chilli sauce was a pleasant mix of sweet, sour and spicy and we highly recommend that you dip the oyster into the chilli sauce provided, as it helps in enhancing the flavours of the dish and eliminate any odour for ostraconophobia.
85 Bedok North Fried Oyster opens till 2 AM daily, making it another place to add into your list of supper spots!
