Hoy tod (หอยทอด also sometimes spelled hoi tod) is a Thai style oyster or shellfish omelet. the most famous restaurants to eat hoy tod (หอยทอด) in Bangkok is a restaurant known as Nai Mong Hoy Tod (นายหมงหอยทอด, they spell their name Nai Mong Hoi Thod). You’ll find them in Yaowarat Chinatown, just off Charoen Krung Road, about 20 meters down Phlap Phla Chai street. You can either choose to order the awlua (อ่อลั่วะ) version, which is crispy (this would be the normal version of hoy tod), or what they call awsuan (ออส่วน), which is the goopy version.
At Nai Mong Hoy Tod (นายหมงหอยทอด), they have a pretty cool cooking setup, and their cooking station sort of reminded me something like police shields. The heavy iron skillet sits on top of a custom made charcoal burning stove, and they’ve added a fan to the fire with switch, so when they really need to bump up the heat to get the food sizzling they just turn on the fan, as sparks fly. The oil is heated first, then a pancake like batter goes in until it start turning golden brown. More oil is continuously added throughout the cooking process to ensure the omelet is as crispy as possible.
