Yiwu Oyster Omelette Introduction
To supplement her family income, the owner, Huang Hsiu-Jin, started a stall selling deep-fried oyster muffins (Oyster Dì) along the main street of Xufu, next to the old Taiwan Highway 17, in 2001. The choice to sell deep-fried oyster muffins was due to the local availability of fresh oysters, making sourcing ingredients convenient. While most oyster muffin stalls sell meat muffins as well, "Yiwuh Oyster Dì" only offers oyster muffins and not meat muffins. The batter used at "Yiwuh Oyster Dì" consists of corn flour, soybean flour, and crispy flour, while the filling includes cabbage, chives, and oysters. "Yiwuh Oyster Dì" operates only in the afternoon; the cabbage and chives are washed and chopped in the morning and delivered to the stall in the afternoon, while the batter is mixed on-site. In addition to oyster muffins, "Yiwuh Oyster Dì" also sells fried sweet potatoes, fried squid balls, and fried cakes, using a separate batter for these items made only with corn flour and crispy flour. As a result, the fried sweet potatoes, fried squid balls, and fried cakes emerge golden brown, appealing in color, aroma, and flavor, contributing to a good business.
