Precious Living

If you have ever visited Melaka, you will have seen this guy, perhaps even eaten the food off his wok.

Rumor has it that his wealth is stored as gold bars in a secret bank vault so no one really knows the full extent of his prosperity.

I don’t know if that is true. All I know is, his family’s recipe have famed the entire state of Melaka for Or Jian (Fried Oyster Omelette).

There is no sit-down dinner here. His food is sold in mini wrapped parcels.
After you’ve bought one, you’ll want to grab the pack and heave to the nearest Kopitiam (coffee shop) as quickly as possible. Here you can order a drink as an excuse to use the table. Then, you’ll want to open the package with your clumsy fingers.

As the golden treasure is exposed, a small cloud of smoke rises into the air, filling you with its salty pungence.

Take a bite. It is crispy and lumpy and melting and altogether too delicious.
