The name of the Dish sounds alluring but in Thailand this Son-in-Law Eggs is very popular not only amongst Son-in-Laws but also children. Kai Leuk Kuey literally means Son-in-Law. But, how this name came about no one knows but what Thai legend says is Mother-in-Law wanted to punish its Son-in-Law for illtreating her daughter. The Son-in-Law was invited and offered this deep fried egg salad which is tangy, sweet and spicy giving a hidden hint to Son-in-Law to be careful or will be punished. It’s very healthy, popular and is a must try at home.
