Best Hoy Tod in Bangkok

Hoy Tod is the crispy, savory counterpart to Pad Thai, featuring fresh oysters or mussels fried with a flour and egg batter. The dish is cooked at high heat on a flat griddle until the edges are golden and shattering, while the center remains tender. Diners can choose between the crispy 'awlua' style or the softer, more gelatinous 'awsuan' style. It is traditionally served on a bed of fresh bean sprouts and accompanied by a tangy sweet chili sauce. This high-heat street food staple represents the best of Bangkok's seafood and wok-frying expertise.
