Right at the junction of Simon Road and Upper Serangoon Road there's a gem of a coffee shop called Nam Seng Coffee Shop. Eager patrons congregate almost every day to sample 3 heart stopping, artery clogging dishes: Smoked Chicken Wings, Oyster Omelette and Satay.
The guy that sells the satay also sells the chicken wings. Unike other grilled chicken wings, the wings here give out a heady flavour of smoked spices with each bite. This is because they are grilled above the satay in an open chacoal pit. The result is a rich infusion of flavours that is a delight to the nose and tastebuds
The satays come in larger than normal sizes and are barbecued carefully so that they achieve the right balance of charring on the outside and moistness in the inside.
As for the oyster omelette, it's a legend onto itself. Fried by an elderly gentleman who works with clockwork precision, the end result is a fluffy, eggy, crispy concoction with just the perfect touch of 'gooeyness'. The oysters are fresh and a generous handful is tossed into the flour mixture. A sprinkling of parsley adds the final punch to the dish. Beware though, this Oyster Omelette is not for the faint hearted. This dish is swimming, I repeat, SWIMMING in oil!
