The other day i cooked this Nyonya cincalok omelette to enjoy with porridge for a light lunch.. Tasted like shrimp paste /belacan fried eggs, and one item you must add in this omelettle is onion, the sweetness from onion just perfectly contrast with salty cincalok (fermented small shrimps).
I bought this blue patterned enamel plate from Bali, and noticed they also like to use this kind of Chinese made enamel plates..And today i found another nice enamel plate, check out last picture in this post..
Nyonya Cincalok Omelette
(recipe source: by Sonia aka Nasi Lemak Lover)
4 eggs
80g fresh shrimps
1 onion, sliced
2tbsp cincalok
1tsp light soy sauce
pepper
6tbsp cooking oil
Method
1. Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan, sauté onion till fragrant.
2. Add in fresh shrimps, sprinkle light soy sauce, sauté till prawn changed color.
3. Add pepper into eggs, pour into the pan.
4. Use your finger, squeeze out as much as water from cincalok and spread cincalok on top of the egg.
5. Once the omelette starts to set, flip it over and brown the other side.
6. Dish out and serve hot with congee or rice.
The quality of this enamel plate is very good, thick and nice print. The owner of the shop told me that we can't find this kind of old-fashioned plate anymore. They left only few of this plates..

这类复古的盘子很难再看到，你真幸运还让你
找到。。呵呵
Yummy cincalok omelette! I think now enamel plates are back in fashion.
This looks so nice...
I hardly buy cincalok eventhough I go to Melaka because I don't know how to make delicious meal with cincalok. The omelette looks very appetizing regardless to go with rice or porridge. Yes, you are right, it is hard to get enamel plate and bowl nowadays. Wish I was wise enough to save those back when my grandma still using those!
thank you sonia for sharing the rcp to make omellette with cencaluk ,will try it
I dun like cincalok, actually I dislike ikan bilis too but my husband and daughter love it, my mil always will cook this dish but without the onion, shd ask her to try yours next time.
hi sonia...
hehe, good idea to variety the old fashion omelet style. i use to cook 'telur dadar' with onion+dried small shrimps/udang geragau but this cencaluk idea will make it more easier i guess. tq anyway ;)
Sonia…

I must get my hand on cincalok, everyone is selling it hardly. Then I can try on those many tempting dish I read on blogs.
Love your cincalok omelete, Sonia!
I love shrimps and I love omelettes, if cincalok is salted shrimps, I would love them too!! Sounds like an ideal warm and delicious lunch idea for the cold day over here :)
最近我也爱上有cincalok的菜肴，谢谢你的分享哦！！
I like it! It's simple yet nutritious. Thanks for reminding how simple meals like that fills you up.

I seldom use cincalok at home find the smell too strong but your omelette dish looks so delicious :)
I think i will like this dish too, sounds very appetizing.
this looks tasty could be a nice quick meal with a salad
I've never had cincalok for a long, long time. A reminder to get one bottle when I next visit Malacca.
That's why you are my idol, a simple dish also looks so yummy there! I also like eating dishes with lots of onions. Mum used to cook us egg omelette with lots of onions when I was young. These days, we love to eat a cold dish, smoked salmon with spanish onions + some lemon juice, a dish that my father-in-law will prepare on family gathering.
Simple but very appetizing dish!
这个蛋我很喜欢，可是每次都煎得乌漆麻黑的很难看。
你的 cincaluk 烘蛋害我口水直流！
