I am hooked on this stuff, I did a childrens benefit gig at police headquarters and they served the most amazing hoy tort (????spelling ..) I have since found a couple of places but non that compared to that first portion..any ideas???

The best hoi tod I ever tasted was near the Phuttamonton area, they had several mobile carts decked out with bright red writing on a bright yellow signs. I was told the family ahd done this for many generations.

Tasted damned good, I ate two in a row, drenched in that red chilli sauce..lovely!

sounds good...sorry about my spelling

Best I have had is available from an ancient Chinese restaurant called "Naay So", on the fringes of Chinatown at the Plaplachai 5-way intersection ("Haa yaek Plaplachai".

My favourite for this is at a placed called Kaloang. Its down by the river behind the National library.

Sorry for my ignorance ,what is hoi tod.

Oysters and/or mussels fried up in a flat pan. Classic Thai street food.

Actual meaning of the words Hoi Tod are "deep fried "

Hoi = Oyster / Muscle

Tod= Fry in oil

Pad= Stir fry

If it's the same stuff I'm thinking of, there's a place I go to in Bang Bua Tong when driving the lady home - it's in the market on the main soi through the town so you can't miss it.

Reckon I'll grab some tonight, come to think of it...

Yes, although "tord" is literally deep-fried, these are fried on a big flat skillet. The vendors who sell them often make phad thai one one side of the skillet, and hoy tord on the other.

I am going to be the size of a bus when I have sampled all these delights

The Victory Monument area does a good job..

Excellent tip

I'd say this dish involves enough oil to qualify.

In fact if it contained any more oil then the US may begin considering to start a war over it.

And then there's the batter to complete the carbs-bomb..

Actually just steamed Hoy gets me off.

A couple big bowls washed down with some Chang - it don't get no better!
