Daeng Racha Hoi Tod: Serving Thai-Style Oyster Omelettes For Over A Century

Daeng Racha Hoi Tod serves Thai-style oyster omelettes


If you’re getting street stall seafood, you’re not expecting to get a ton of shrimp, fish, or oysters. Daeng Racha Hoi Tod, on the other hand, is not only generous with quantity but also quality.

This is the oyster omelette that has kept this food stall in business for 4 generations.


Huge and well-sourced oysters

When you’re placing an order for a Thai oyster omelette, called Hoi Tod, you would expect 4-5 pieces of oysters at most for around ฿100 (US$2.87). Daeng Racha Hoi Tod will not only give you almost twice as much, but those pieces will also be as large as your thumb.

These oysters are also well-sourced. They come daily straight from Chonburi, the nearest seaside town to Bangkok, where they are washed and cleaned from 4am until the stall opens. 


Meticulous preparation and attention to detail for customer satisfaction

It took way more than bringing oysters straight from the sea to your plate daily to put this street food stall on the map. As a specialist food stall that cooks only oyster omelettes, to chef uncle Daeng, cooking these omelettes is a craft to be perfected.

His objective for the omelette is simple: a crispy outside and fluffy inside. Within that simple objective are years of honing that craft to absolute perfection. To uncle Daeng, this is something that he achieved through his desire to see his customers fed and happy. 

It is that dedication to the craft and to customer satisfaction that has allowed him to elevate simple store-bought ingredients into legend. 


Quality and quantity oyster omelettes starting ฿60 (US$1.72)


Thai-style oyster omelettes are crispy and creamy when cooked by the hands of a master. With over 100 years of experience, Daeng Racha Hoi Tod serves a crowd favourite that gets the food stall sold out way before closing hours.
