Beimen A-Shan Oyster Omelette Introduction
Beimen "Ah Shan Master Oyster Omelette" was created by Ah Shan Master's daughter, Wu Li-Juan, and later flourished under Ah Shan Master's guidance.

Due to her name containing the character "Shan," the villagers originally called her "Ah Shan-Zai," and later someone referred to her as "Ah Shan Master," unexpectedly turning it into her signature brand. After a period of difficult operation, just then, the Yunlin-Chiayi-Nantou National Scenic Area Administration established a presence in Beimen and vigorously promoted tourism there, transforming Beimen into a tourism hub in Taiwan. This tourism boom brought business opportunities, and "Ah Shan Master Oyster Omelette" became a signature snack of Beimen. The batter for Ah Shan Master Oyster Omelette is made from: yellow soybean flour, Taiwanese rice flour, and crispy flour; the filling includes: oysters...
