Yep flip em over and cook just a little more to make sure all the white is cooked but not long enough to firm up the yolk. That;s over easy. Seems obvious now eh? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This how many thai restaurants (like black canyon) serve them and what i won't eat....so i always tell them i need well done eggs which they do. They look like "Sunny Side Up" to me. As far as I understand it, the term "Over Easy" or "Easy Over" means just flipped for a few seconds to set the yolk and white from the top so they are seared and not raw & runny. Particularly popular during the bird flu panic a few years back . Even the Thai hotels I stayed in back then were swapping from "sunny" to "easy" while the scare was on. And I am not even American.

I called them again and told them to keep it....what's an abf without eggs? I got all the rest though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonok Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 What's more bizarre than having vegetables on a 'veggie' breakfast is having eggs on it!!! Some just don't understand that things that come from animals are not vegetables ('veggie' is derived from 'vegetables') lolSent from my Nexus 6P using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QPRFC Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Agree - especially if you asked for a 'cooked' veggie breakfast ! If I was the Cafe owner I would tell the customer "f off, we don't want your sort in here"What is a cooked vegetarian breakfast even? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaviny Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 It’s what I eat every day. A breakfast that does not consist of animal products. A personal choice. One I’ve made for over 32 years. Does appear to be an affront to some though... Thanks Bluespunk for the explanation , so apart from the badly friend egg , he got what he asked for.Sent from my SM-N9200 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLobster Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 The point is, a 'farang breakfast' is what? I'm not an admirer of Bluespunk nor the prescribed diet but I'm sure that we will agree to differ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife explained it to her and asked if she would put them on rice, b/c of course she didn't have bread. It was great. I used to get a "poached" egg and a couple of the pathongko fried bread at the morning market in Loei. They put an egg (in the shell) in a small glass and pour on hot water. In the cold season, the eggs were cold and it took at least 2 if not three changes of water to get an egg that wasn't too snotty. The locals didn't mind a warm, raw egg I guess. But it was quick and cheap. Edit: more of a soft-boiled egg. A roommate of mine is good with "over easy" eggs. Fries 4 eggs in a small pan so it looks like one big egg with 4 yolks. When just about done, he deftly flips the whole mass into the air like a pancake and catches it sunny side down. He just lets the residual heat in the pan finish it. Haven't seen him break a yolk yet. I do make him do the flipping over the sink, just in case. Edited April 20, 2018 by Damrongsak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, kai luak, I believe. (Maybe spelled with a law-ling, wough-wan, goh-guy? Seems so - ไข่ลวก). The fried bread dipped in the runny egg made it go down easier. With a splash of soy sauce and some black pepper. 55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntDee Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I'm sure most can agree that Thai food is among the best in the world, and Thais are absolutely fantastic at making it. However, they are almost uniquely bad at making food that is not their own because: 1. Often, Thais feel compelled to Thai-ify everything. 2. Making foreign food properly would require them to take a serious interest in things not Thai which is usually too much to ask of them. Japanese, for example, are experts in world class foreign food. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
