Back for omurice

Kitsu No Heya (Sheung Wan)

Ever since my first visit at this branch I have been meaning to go back but they are closed on Sundays.

On this visit I intended to get the squid omelette with sea urchin but they must have heard the seafood because they gave me seafood instead.
I paid $10 extra for the semi cooked egg

Even though it was not what I ordered, the seafood one turned out to be quite decent.

I chose Tom Yum Kung sauce which tasted quite nice with the squid omelette and not as bad as they suggested.

The portion was bigger because it was the semi cooked egg version.

It had lots of vegetarian sharks fin in it that was glistening.


There were lots of prawns and finely sliced abalone mushrooms in it.
The tom yum kung sauce was light and not too spicy.

Correct location:
While I was dining there, they said people could not find this shop because the address on the photo below is different from the one on openrice......

Delicious omurice at Kitsu No Heya

Before this place changed owners, I never found it attractive, there was no dining area so it was only convenient for people working or living in the area.

After I read Ivy's review I realised that the owners have changed and they now do Omurice.

Ever since I tried it at Tin Hau I was craving for it again.

The pictures in Ivy's review looked really similar to the Omurice at Tin Hau which was why I was so keen to try it.

Luckily there was a seat so I was able to dine there.

The menu does not have English

Basically the food is cooked in the small kitchen.

I ordered the Omurice with sea urchin, squid ink flavoured omelette and curry sauce.
With every omurice there is a choice of ketchup, cream sauce, spicy sauce or curry.

They also have the semi cooked omelette which I would have ordered if I saw it beforehand.

Miso soup:
This came with the omurice and it was miso soup with quite a few pieces of seaweed in it.
The soup was not that salty which was good.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Omurice:
The omurice came quite fast and it was garnished with mustard cress and tomato slices.
The size is slightly smaller than the one at Tin Hau.
I really liked the fried rice because there was no oily taste or smell.
Each grain of rice was evenly flavoured and the texture was just right, not too soft or hard.


Initially I thought they were cubes of pumpkin, but when I asked them they said it was sea urchin.
They have mixed the sea urchin with flour to made it springy like fishballs which was interesting.
Otherwise when sea urchin is cooked with rice, it disappears due to its paste like texture.
The curry sauce was quite watery but it was quite appropriate because it was there so that the rice and omelette would not be so dry without overpowering it.
The omelette had a nice squid ink taste.

Coconut layered pudding:For dessert, the omurice comes with this cute coconut layered pudding.
It was a strange ending to the perfect omurice with a Thai dessert.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
After talking to the chef, he said he used to work at the Tin Hau restaurant which was why the taste was the same.
I will probably be back to try the Tom Yum Kung Omurice on my next visit.
As well as Omurice they also have sushi, fried snacks and udon noodles.

Delicious and colourful Omerice

Omerice (Tin Hau)

I would just like to Thank IVY_CWK and Mjqueen7e for treating me to this delicious Omurice dinner.
This is a mega late review as we dined here ages ago!

Omurice is an omelette made with fried rice and usually topped with ketchup.

At Omerice, they specialize in Omurice and offer so many different flavoured omelettes with different sauces to choose from.

For the omelettes there were so many types: squid omelette, tom yum kung, spinach and scallops and sea urchin.

All the omurices are served with ketchup but here they have curry sauce and cream sauce to choose from as well.

When you order you can ask for the omelette to be semi-cooked which we did because it tastes even better.

We decided to try the spinach and scallop omerice and the squid ink omerice with stuff chicken wings with cheese and spinach.

While we were digging into the delicious omerices, the manageress gave us some jellyfish salad.

The cutlery there is quite cute and matches their logo, the fork resembles the cracked egg.

Chicken wings stuffed with cheese and spinach:
The chicken wings were lovely and crispy and it was filled with delicious spinach and cheese.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Spinach and scallop omerice with cream sauce:
The texture of the omelette was really nice because we ordered it semicooked so the omelette tasted really delicious with strong spinach taste.
The rice in the middle had generous pieces of scallops in it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Squid ink omerice with cream sauce:
Compared to the spinach omerice, the squid ink had a stronger taste which tasted great with the hot fluffy rice in the middle.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Jellyfish salad:
The salad was really refreshing complemented by their Japanese vinaigrette sauce.
The jelly fish was nice and springy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
On the menu it was interesting that they had Pigeon's egg too which I tried recently at a restaurant in Ho Man Tim.

Thanks to IVY_CWK's arrangement we got a shared room which was really nice.

I can't wait to dine here again and try the other Omerices.
