Hoi Tor Chao Lay, Suk 55, Bangkok



I found so hard to locate the photo order of this shop and still missed the Pad Thai.  This shop is quite close to the soi entrance of Suk 55 (Thonglo).  I am sure if you are regular to Thong Lo, you wouldn't miss this shop and it's also quite crowded because it's quite famous for its oyster omelette (the 4th photo).  It's pretty good though it may not be the best.  I still like it quite much.  The Pad Thai is also good.

1st/2nd: the shop inside.

the oyster was ultra fresh and considered quite big although not jumbo, taste good, cost, better don't tell them otherwise they envy on us again

Har, envy? Does that mean cost is high or low?
I like oyster omelette a lot. And I like Thong Lo a lot. I can just stay at Thong Lo for one week and will not get bored.

It's quite close to the Suk 55 entrance, and the Sky train station.

oh so next time Stella can stay at the Mini Hotel on Thonglor Soi 13

the oyster omelette or hoi-tord-chao-lay is THB300? no no, is THB100? no no, it is only THB60

the shop also has the Thai national noodles dish - Pad Thai Goong Sod, also at THB60 ($1.9)

take Skytrain arrive BTS Thonglo takes Exit 3, turn left on Thonglo Road (Sukhumvit Soi 55), walk for about 50 meters (3 minutes), the shop is on your left

Great. I like to try this place as the food is cheap and the dish looks good.
Good food does not need to be expensive to taste good.
And vice versa.

Yes,
To me, food tastes better when the price is right(cheap, or at least not over priced). As I don't want to be a sucker.
I think I shall try this place too since I know Thong Lo.

Yes, if I know what I am paying for, I will adjust myself in expecting what I should have. Like this one, I shouldn't expect they have live prawns from the sea, or the plate is a silver one...etc. However, the main point is whether the cook can make good use of the ingredients they have.

Mr. Sea and Mr. Tea,
I would like to stay in Thong Lo next time if there is another hotel with "good" value(price being similar to the one I stayed in April 2008).
