Je Tuk Pad Thai & Hoy Tod: The Best 50 Baht Meal in Lat Phrao
Je Tuk Pad Thai Oyster Omelette (เจ๊ตุ๊ก ผัดไทย หอยทอด) is one of those local eateries you wish someone shared the secret to sooner. Tucked away in Lat Phrao (across from Central Ladprao), this stall consistently draws a steady crowd of locals, proving, as my husband commented, it must be good.
I’ve been here twice, and what keeps pulling me back is the simple perfection of the Hoy Tod (Oyster Omelette). This isn’t the wet, sticky version you find everywhere; this is the glorious, crispy kind! The edges are perfectly fried to a golden crisp, offering a texture that elevates this dish far above the competition. If you appreciate texture in your street food, this is the spot.
Unbeatable Value
The pricing here is probably another reason why Je Tuk is a neighborhood favourite:
| Dish | Price (Baht) |
|---|---|
| Regular Pad Thai or Hoy Tod | 50 |
| Fresh Shrimp Pad Thai or Hoy Tod | 70 |
| Special/ Mixed Seafood Pad Thai or Hoy Tod | 80 |
| Fresh Shrimp Special Pad Thai or Hoy Tod | 80 |
It’s refreshing to find such quality at such a fantastic price point. While sitting at the first table, you can hear the cook working through a steady stream of customized orders—no bean sprouts, no vege, no tofu—it’s a testament to truly customized, cooked-to-order street food.
The Verdict on Pad Thai
While I haven’t personally tried the Pad Thai (I’m usually too focused on the crispy Hoy Tod!), the constant stream of customers ordering it and the enticing look of the noodles prove it’s equally beloved. This hidden gem is a worthwhile stop if you’re heading to the nearby Central Ladprao or the Liabduan Danneramit Night market.
