Hoi tod is Bangkok's crispy oyster omelette: rice-flour batter griddled to a lacy crust, scattered with small oysters, bean sprouts and egg, served with a sweet chilli sauce.
Hoi tod is a Teochew Chinese street-snack adapted in 19th-century Bangkok's Yaowarat district, where Chinese-Thai vendors swapped the southern Chinese sweet-potato-starch batter for rice-flour to suit the local palate. The crispy form (hoi tod krob) is distinct from the soft southern oh luak variant. Nai Mong Hoi Tod on Phadungdao Road has run the same stall since the 1950s and is widely cited by Michelin Bib Gourmand and Thai food guides; the dish is a fixture of Yaowarat's late-night Phadungdao seafood strip.
