Hoi Tod Chaw Lae is a small mussel and oyster omelette shop at the mouth of Thonglor, Soi Sukhumvit 55, in Watthana. It has drawn passers-by for years with hoi tod, a crisp batter omelette studded with mussels, eaten with the house chilli sauce; or suan, the softer oyster version, or lua, an extra-crisp pancake, and pad thai with fresh prawns are the other orders. Wongnai users rank it among the top street-food stalls in the district and the newest reviews date from September 2025, while a Tripadvisor regular in May 2026 reports that the shop has moved a little further down the soi into a smaller, cleaner space. It is about 100 m from BTS Thong Lo, Exit 3. Wongnai lists opening hours of 08:00 to 22:00 daily, with delivery through LINE MAN; Tripadvisor gives 08:00 to 20:30. Prices are low: omelettes 120 to 180 baht and pad thai 90 to 170 baht, so a meal with a drink stays under 300 baht.
