French Toast
Kind of a funny topic title, I know, but the french toast we had in Vietnam and Cambodia was fantastic, and I wonder if anyone knows what was different that made it so good? In all cases it was thin bread -- could it have been the type of bread? The eggs? I don't know, but it was mouthwateringly good.

One of the best I had was at the coffee house at Imperial Hotel, Tokyo. Aaah bring back memories
In Singapore there's good french toast from some Kopitiam food courts particularly the one at Centrepoint, Orchard Road. For S$2 you get french toast and coffee. Yummy

Could be the bread. Could be the eggs. Duck eggs are used in place of chicken eggs in most cases and they are "yolkier" as well as cheaper.
Chances are very good that your french toast was indeed made in a wok, so bob's theory doesn't hold up

Maybe, maybe not. Chicken egg yolks can be almost orange, depending on what the chickens are eating. The more greens they eat, the deeper color the yolks will be. As you noticed, the chickens in these places are truly free range, so they eat plenty of greens!

<<<we eat French toast with tomato sauce -it's usually a savoury dish in Australia>>>
Interesting, because 80% of the guests at the Hanoi Elegance Diamond are from Australia, so I wonder if they liked the french toast as much as we did.
and I agree Mohan, it is the texture. My mouth is watering (and I just finished dinner!)
