Thai Oyster Omelet at Nai Mong Hoy Tod (นายหมงหอยทอด)

- Nai Mong Hoy Tod (นายหมงหอยทอด) is a famous restaurant in Bangkok to eat a Thai oyster omelet known as hoy tod (หอยทอด). More details here: www.eatingthaif...
Hoy tod (หอยทอด also spelled hoi tod sometimes) is a very popular Thai street food dish, that's basically a shellfish omelet. Though it does include egg, it also usually includes some batter as well, so I actually personally think of it more as a pancake than a full egg omelet. Anyway, it's a famous Thai dish, especially as a tasty snack. There are many places throughout Bangkok to try hoy tod (หอยทอด), and one of the most well known is Nai Mong Hoy Tod (นายหมงหอยทอด), located in Bangkok's Chinatown, or Yaowarat.
There are two different versions that you can order, hoy malang poo tod (หอยแมลงภู่ทอด (กรอบ) is their version of an omelet with mussels in it, and hoy nang rom tod (อ่อลั่วะ หอยนางรมทอด (กรอบ) is with oysters. Now that's a pretty tough decision for you and I to make as food lovers, so it's best to just not make the decision at all, and order both of them. That's what I had to do. However, after eating them both, I can quite safely say that the oyster version was definitely better tasting in my opinion.
Anyway, at Nai Mong Hoy Tod (นายหมงหอยทอด), they use some serious oil for their cooking. And I don't think it's just some light veggie oil, it's some heavy pork lard. So this is far from being a healthy hoy tod (หอยทอด), but it's a treat to enjoy on occasion. One of the cool things is this restaurant in Bangkok has a customized kitchen with a heavy iron griddle that sits above a grill of hot charcoal - so they still use charcoal for cooking. The flames are always lit high, and there's a fan that blows the flames bigger when they really need to crispify the batter. So they start off by heating a spoon of oil on the pan. Then a mixture of batter, which I believe is made from sticky rice, is poured onto the griddle. After that's mixed up for a few minutes, in goes an egg, which is swirled around for awhile. The mussels version of the Thai omelet included the mussels within the batter. It was served over a small bed of bean sprouts, sort of to cradle it and maybe soak up a bit of the extra oil. The Thai oyster omelet (hoy tod) included a crispy fried pancake of dough set on a plate and the oysters, in a gravy type of sauce, placed over the pancake.
The omelet pancakes were insanely crispy, and wow were they filled with extreme flavor. I liked mine with a sprinkle of pepper all over it, and many Thais also enjoy eating hoy tod (หอยทอด) along with sauce prik, which is like tangy tomato ketchup. Overall, and if I go back, I would definitely prefer the oyster omelet version over the mussels version. They were both insanely greasy, but indeed they were insanely tasty as well. If you're up for a greasy Thai street food snack when you're walking around Chinatown in Bangkok, you might check them out.

I can see how much you enjoy Thai food and travelling in Thailand. Everytime when I watch your video it makes me miss my Hometown (Thailand) !!!
Reddz708 Thank you very much for watching. What part of Thailand are you from?
I'm from Bangkok. I miss Thai street food so much. Have you tried "Kanom Krog(ขนมครก)" (Sorry I dont know how to call in english) which is Thai morning dessert. It's pretty similar to Takoyaki in Japan and it is so yummy ! :)
This spot was a food highlight of my trip a few years back. I ate a ton of just phenomenal food over 7 weeks across SE Asia, but this dish for some reason just stands out so sharply in my mind. Great contrast in texture and explosive flavor. Oyster is definitely the way to go.
The classic Mark Wiens sideways head tilt. Thats how you know it's good.
This is one of my favourite vendor. 😋
i like the way when u are eating something nd closing ur eyes smoothly it looks like the food is preety awsome....👍
the oyster plate is also called ออส่วน (aor-suan)! you have an excellent taste in food!
I am now officially addicted to your videos...keep em coming.!!
Thank you ssupersupremo7!
The oyster omelet is one of my favorite dish, when eating with Thai's Sriracha sauce. Super yummy!
You do that same facial expression every time you like the food your eating haha it gets me every time!
The oyster omelet is so delicious i go to that restaurant quite often when i lived in Bankgkok.
Charlie Politanont do I need to speak Thai to order here? I only know very basic Thai thanks
I heard grease and oil! But you know what?! Life is too short to worry about such things. Happiness = good food = pursuing other good food. Its an addiction! Thanks Mark!
Nigel Goh Yes, I agree, plus I think it's about eating a balanced diet, and avoiding other certain things especially processed things.
these look awesome. cant wait to try this place, its just a short distance from the hotel ill be staying at
That was Chili sauce, the original Thai Sriracha sauce.
you have the greatest job seeing different countries and eating the local cuisine
just about 3 days ago i randomly click any 'eating' video on youtube that looks 'wow, yummy' and found out one of yours and can't stop watching your videos until now xD. just wanna say that i really love your videos ! you've successfully makes me drool and hungry every single time i watched it LoL. oh, and i have one question mark.. have you ever came to indonesia before ? if you're not, have you ever consider it ? thank you :D
That face after the first bite mark is bloody gold!! Love your work mate
I love this! I had to stop myself from eating it daily when I was in Bangkok. It sure isn't the healthiest thing, but it's really delicious!
Yzabel Montealegre Haha, glad you love it too!
The good thing about Bangkok is, you have so many other choices 🤤
Like the way you enjoy it to the full. What's your latest video.
I can't wait to watch next videos of mark wiens!!
Thank you very much for your support Waruth KiloNine
The prices are simply amazing. $2.15 for each plate is mind-boggling. We regularly visit several Thai restaurants in Seattle, WA & don't walk out without spending $30.00 to $40.00. That's it. I'm moving to Thailand. :)
Mark that looks delicious. Thanks for sharing:)
Looks rather similar to the Singapore Version, gonna try this if I have the chance to go back Bangkok :D
Aww. Why did you replace the voice over in the beginning with music? I love it when you explain the whole cooking process.(:
Looks the same as the one available in Malaysia. Practically drooling right now. Good video as always Mark. :D
Thank you Lala16ss
I had some in Vietnam, it was amazing
Mark love his foods he eat any foods spices and fresh healthy foods thanks
my favorite part of your videos is when you make the tard face right after your first bite. keep up the great vids! :-)
The oyster omelet is just sinfully good. Mark's expression reminded me of my first taste of this heavenly food; wash it down with lime juice or ice lemon tea, it'll help neutralize the greasiness. You know what?! If you're a real bad boy, squeeze some slices of lime into your ice-cold beer to go with it and oh... So bad, and yet sooo good :)
I wasn't sure what the liquid they were using to make the omelet was until you described it. I'm really not into fried food but I have to confess that some times food fried in lots of oil tastes much better and again, the dipping sauces look amazing.
มีน้ำที่ผสมแป้งแล้วก็ตอกไข่ลงไปแล้วก็ใส่หอยกับถั่วงอก แค่นั้นเลยค่ะ
Great video. Make me miss Thailand very much. I tried cooking hoy tod but can never have it as good as the ones in Thailand. That oyster version looks really awesome, never had it before. Next time I go I will definitely seek this place out. Keep up the good work. Loving your videos.
Wow! It is very similar to "or luak", a singaporean dish which is also known as oyster omelette
Ok, cool, thanks for sharing.
Everything you eat looks delicious!
Thank you Janice Chang
Oh God... Oyster omelettes. I ordered them every time I went out in Malaysia.... Best thing ever.
Thank you Mark for another awesome food review from Thailand!With respect all the way from Yuma,Arizona
I saw you on Nat Geo yesterday! in that Maverick Chef show! they had you tasting his food, haha cool!
Star Scream Oh thanks for sharing. Did I have long hair back then? It was a long time ago, about 3 - 4 year I think.
You have the best job in the world.
Can't lie that looks so good
This was one of my favorite dishes when I was in Bangkok a year ago!
yummy.. thanks Mark. I am going to bangkok next month and gonna try these darlings.. I like the way u eat. it makes the food more delicious. .
Hey Mark I was just in Krung thep but forgot to have my fried oysters (curfew messed up) but thanks for video it is so unhealthy but soooo tasty!
Hank Gee Oh sorry you weren't able to have it. Where do you normally go for it?
I haven't had these in years. I remember loving them.
Very cool Jake Morris - hope you can have one again soon.
Thanks Mark another awesome vid!
Mark, try the one next to Wat Plab-pla-chai … The place is like hole-in-the-wall chinese restaurant in a shophouse (so you know that it is very authentic and delicious). The place is called "Nai Soul" … The signature dish is the mussle omelet as well as the oyster omelet … Bon Appetit !
tom castleleigh Great, thank you for the recommendation. Next time I'm in that area, will try to seek it out.
I like that , order both you say. that is a great idea mussels or oysters in an omelet. that would sell good over here.
Thumbs up for always adding peppers! Love spicy thai food. Thanks for sharing amazing food.
of course you should not make a decision, you should get both.
love it lol
2:23 that face!! Should be ur official logo haha!
Delicious. I haven try it before.
คุณทานอะไร ก็ดูน่าทานไปหมด หิวค่ะ
Damn i like impression when eating the food. It makes me want to dive inside my screen and it too XD
Thank you for putting the prices of the food in the videos!!
You're welcome GoldGunsandGolf, glad that's helpful.
The oyster omelette looks so good. I really wanted to try it when I was in Thailand, but unfortunately wasn't able too. I hope to go back and get it.
Mark, I'm not sure if you addressed this before, but what is your nationality? Wiens doesn't sound Thai, and you don't look completely Asian! Maybe I'm just crazy. As always...looks delicious and I'm incredibly jealous! By far my favorite TH-cam-r/Channel!
Mark's originally from the US but he's half white & half Chinese!
thanks andrew! :)
Alexandra Ptak and he's half German too
my favourite! sadly cant eat it often. thanks mark
that really does look good Mark, and i suppose having once in a while aint so bad....keep it spicy
picardsphoenix yes, it's a good treat every now and then.
...........All of us said the same, Mark is making us so hungry...lol Mark is only one can be able to make foods looked tasty & hungry!
wish you would do show in the NYC area to show us where to go to eat!!!!
Hey Ying & Mark,
Love the video as always.
Can you tell us how they get that "Goopy" consistency in the omelet?
I think that after eating that greasy snack, you probably did some extra pushups & walking to burn it off!
Regards.
Jim.
evogardens Hey Jim, thank you for watching. Yes, that pancake batter is made from sticky rice flour, so when it cooks it gets goopy. I definitely did some jogging after that.
I think it's not tomato sauce but it should be a chilli sauce,like Sri racha sauce. It's one of my Thai favourite dishes
That looks so good
Great feature of oyster cake and mussels cake. Your Thai pronunciation is getting to be spot on.
Thank you very much Randy Valencia
Hey Mark You Make Good Videos
Mark,in making your videos do you have a certain criteria for choosing a restaurant or a meal?
They both looked awesome. Hard choice. I would gain about 50 lbs because of those! Bring on the lard!
Great work with the bokeh too!
SeoulTee Thanks a lot Tom!
*Thumbs Up Mark*
Omg! I love oyster omelette!
Thanx Mark. Now I need to make egg foo young today. I love that stuff, maybe I'll throw some oysters in it.
bebebutterfield1 Sounds good, enjoy!
Hey mark. I don't eat oysters but that looks really good. Funny how that happens. Was it really good?
FitAnge S Thank you. Yah, it was very good for me, but I'm a huge oyster lover!
Hey Mark have you eaten basic Thai omelet with the fresh oysters? Without the batter; my favorite. Regards from Trang.
I love your videos!! Makes me so hungry and miss home!
Hi mark this is the one I miss most I,m always had them when I,m out with my family in s,pore. . By the way I'm from S,pore.
Loved watching you enjoy this! 🤪
Oyster for me. Love oysters.
Mark you are pure evil! Now my brain is swimming permanently in omelette/ oyster land till I visit Thailand! Hunger pangs!!!!
Hey,
I'm very impressed with your work as I am also planning to start a travel n food channel. It would be great if you could tell me what camera and software you use for editing also if you use any external mic.

If you look down the page he talks about the equipment he uses. I think its some pretty expensive stuff.
Thanks
Great video mark!!!
Thank you Alexandru Clima
Have you visited places outside of Bangkok, for example, Chonburi?
I prefer the non-crispy version that Mark didn't seem to order. Skip the mussel, go for oyster crispy and non-crispy, both good
Yummie sawasdee krub , how to make. These !? Can you cook ? @Mark Wiens ? Recipe ? 🍴😋😋😋
That's awesome ! Love oysters
Thanks Pwnogosaurus glad you love oysters too.
hey mark who's the person that records you??? (sorry for my english)
his wife i think
I think so too.
Thank you Munirah Mohammad Lala16ss Yes, it's my wife *****
You should load up videos more, like 5-6 times a week!
Hima Mustafa Thank you, would like to, but takes a lot of time. Maybe in the future I can add a 3rd.
worth waiting for your video !
Thank you *****
this looks delicious!!!
Mark I'm wondering. Do you share those amazing foods with your wife? You seem to order a lot every time.
definitely the same as what we have in singapore and malaysia and too rich for an old fart like myself but glad you enjoyed it.
OMG!! Am I crazy waching u eat at midnight!?!!
delicious dish😋💯👍💖
anyway to get a slightly less oilier version and maybe extra egg?
OMG!! With rice or bread, this afternoon snack would turn into my main dish.
I really want to eat this kind of omelet. Raw or fried oysters are also delicious but Thai oyster omelet looks much better, I wonder.
Rondadoreronda Great, thank you for watching, you've definitely got to try it.
That oyster omelet looks Perfecto! Bon apatite!
mark any plan to come to bhutan and explore bhutanese dishes?
There is another dish that is really close to this its like the same thing but a little different its pretty popular in Malaysia :D
Its fried in an egg(s) not a batter :D
Junhtz334 Thanks for sharing. Yah, overall I prefer more egg than batter, will try it out next time I'm in Malaysia.
Once again your facial expression just cracks me up! lol
Very neat!
looks good
I regret I missed this amazing omlet in Thailand
Dmytro Kovalenko You've got to come back to visit again!
that food looks good
Thank you!
May I know what camera are you using to video yourself?
Amazing
