Song Kee Fried Oyster

I was quite disappointed with the dish here. The main issues were the ingredients and the texture, the oysters clearly lacked freshness, and the egg was entirely missing that crucial crispy edge. I ordered the $12 plate. The saving grace was the chilli. However please note that this post is not to bring this stall down, as my own taste buds differ greatly from yours. The queue was fast at 5pm on a weekend and quickly built up after that. Please go try this stall and rebut me if you think I’m wrong.

I was quite surprised by the long queue and the hype, especially during peak hour at 5:30 pm. I ordered the $6, and while the oyster portion itself was reasonable, the first bite was a shock. The oyster wasn’t fully cooked, the centre of the oyster was cold, giving me a feeling of impending food poisoning. The egg and starch mixture was also extremely “normal” and uncle-cooked in every pot, resulting to the long wait. While the aunty was very nice and welcoming, I won’t be returning when there’s a queue.

Song Kee Fried Oyster: A Familiar Comfort by the Coast. There’s something about the salt air at East Coast Lagoon Food Village that makes you crave local favorites. If you’re walking through the center, the long, winding line at Song Kee Fried Oyster is hard to miss. It’s a stall that has become a bit of an institution for regulars visiting the park. To be perfectly honest, I won’t go as far as to say this is the absolute "best" fried oyster in Singapore—there are many contenders for that title. However, what Song Kee offers is something perhaps more valuable: familiarity and comfort. The texture of the starch is exactly what you’d expect from a classic stall—a good mix of crispy, charred edges and that soft, gooey center that holds the eggs together. The oysters themselves are plump enough to provide that essential burst of brine, and when dipped into their signature tangy chili sauce, it hits all the right nostalgic notes. It’s a solid, reliable plate of food that never fails to satisfy a fried food craving. Be warned—the queue is long, and the popularity of this stall means you should be prepared to wait. On weekends or peak dinner hours, the wait time can be quite significant. However, in the setting of East Coast Lagoon, the atmosphere is relaxed enough that the wait becomes part of the experience. It’s the kind of place where you grab a sugarcane juice, chat with friends, and slowly watch the chef work the huge flat griddles. Song Kee might not be a "hidden gem," but it is a consistent performer. If you are looking for an "affordable premium" snack to share while enjoying the sea breeze, this is it. It’s a "breath of fresh air" (quite literally, being by the coast) from the more commercialized stalls elsewhere. If you have the patience for the line and want a taste of a long-standing East Coast tradition, recommended for that classic, comforting local flavour!

I always come back to Song Kee for their amazing oyster omelette (orh luak), and they never disappoint! The quality here is unbeatable. I always order the oyster omelette, and the star of the show is the oysters—they are consistently big, plump, and incredibly fresh! They really load up the dish, and the egg is perfectly crispy on the edges and soft inside. On top of the great food, the service is excellent. The auntie running the stall is always very polite and provides truly good service. Easily one of the best oyster omelettes in town! A definite must-try if you're craving some quality orh luak.

The oyster omelette is classic street food or hawker centre classic and considered as comfort food or heritage snack for many locals. One of the best. Not just being polite. One thing about them, is that they never skimp on the cooking time in response to queue pressures. This means their food has very good QA, extremely consistent standard. It also means you should be prepared to indulge in the favourite Singaporean pastime of queueing up. The preparation and cooking styles varies but at this stall, it's more crispy and fried! Luckily that means less starchy as well so you can enjoy more the oysters and omelette together. The chilli sauce is also balanced with the zesty from chilli heat and something citrusy and savoury.

I was so lucky to randomly find a delicious restaurant! I chose this one from East Coast Lagoon Food Village because the owner looked so kind. I ordered the Oyster Egg (Or Lua) and it was incredibly delicious! The oysters were big and plentiful, and the dipping sauce was perfectly sour and spicy. We ordered the medium size for 9 SGD, which was enough for two people. The atmosphere was chill; we sat and ate by the beach, looking out at the sea. The sun was hot, but the wind was strong, so it was comfortable to eat there.

Our all-time favourite place for fried oyster! 🦪🔥 We’ve been coming back to Song Kee Fried Oyster again and again — it’s that good! The oysters are always fresh, juicy, and plump. No fishy taste at all, just pure umami goodness. 🤤💯 The egg and starch are perfectly cooked — crispy on the outside, soft and gooey inside, just the way we like it. The chili sauce is also a must-have, giving that extra shiok kick! 🌶️✨ Always Jin Ho Jiak! 😋😋😋 Definitely recommend to anyone craving a solid orh luak fix. We’ll keep coming back for more! 👍👏

Fried oyster omelette. Oysters are big tho quite soft, jelly like. The omelette is also pretty damp, hardly any crispy portion. Went for weekday dinner.
