This is the Food Place food court, located at Pavilion Mall. The food court is located beside the Oriental Kopi Restaurant. I will introduce you to another food from another stall.
This time I ordered a Thai-style omelette with minced pork from the Siam Taste stall, which cost RM12.90 per plate. Since it comes without rice, I ordered a bowl of rice that cost me RM4.50.
The omelette is golden and crispy, generously portioned, and topped with fresh coriander. It comes with a bowl of clear soup. It’s made by beating eggs and mixing them with minced pork. The mixture is then deep-fried in hot oil until the omelette puffs up, creating a golden-brown, crispy exterior with a fluffy interior.
The Thai omelette is one of the most common everyday dishes in Thailand, often cooked at home as a quick meal. Historically, eggs became a staple in Thai cuisine during the Ayutthaya period (14th–18th centuries) after being widely available through local farming. The dish reflects Thai cooking philosophy: simple ingredients elevated by technique.
The minced pork variation (moo sap) is especially popular because pork is widely consumed in Thailand and provides extra protein, making the omelette more filling. It’s also a street food staple—vendors can whip it up in minutes, serving it hot with rice for an affordable and hearty meal.
This dish is considered a comfort food in Thai culture, much like scrambled eggs or fried rice in other countries. It’s loved for its crispy edges, savory flavour, and versatility—sometimes variations include crab meat, shrimp, or herbs.
