In Portuguese, “omelete” is masculine-gendered noun ("fiz um omelete”, “I made an omelette” with the “um” being the undefined masculine article / “fez o omelete?”, “did you make the omelette” with the “o” being the defined masculine article). Similarly, “ovo” (egg) is masculine-gendered noun (“um ovo” / “o ovo”). On the other hand, “crepioca” (which is quite similar to an omelette but made with “tapioca” flour) is feminine-gendered (“uma crepioca” / “a crepioca”). “Tapioca” is also a feminine-gendered noun.
