Raan Jay Fai

I waited for almost an hour to get fried crab eggs from Bangkok’s “popular” food stall. It's delicious but not the best in Bangkok, and its price is not cheap. The only thing is that its ingredients are super fresh, and the shrimp and crab are meaty enough, so at least you won't feel heartbroken when paying. What I admire most about her is that an old woman can stand in front of the stove and cook for 10 hours non-stop from noon. Her endurance is more powerful than Superman!

I was attracted by a video on the Internet and made a special trip to taste it. During the epidemic, there is no need to queue up, just order dishes and eat when you arrive. I was very lucky that I didn’t queue up for the first time (the Internet said that the queue was 2-4 hours). The boss, Sister Zhi, was busy at the stove in her signature clothes as always. The signature dish: crab meat wrapped in egg is 1000 baht/portion. It seems expensive, but it is not expensive. It is full of crab meat when cut open. It is estimated that 3-4 crabs are used in one portion. Ordering a curry crab (1 crab) in a restaurant outside also costs 250-350 baht/ 600🐷/portion of Tom Yum Goong, the taste is not much different from that of 200🐷/portion outside; there is also a plate of stir-fried seasonal vegetables, 600🐷/portion, it is just Cantonese stir-fry, and there is nothing particularly good in taste, no wonder the foreigners at the next door tables only ordered the signature dishes; it doesn’t matter if the Michelin one-star is a bit expensive, the price is there, but some dishes are not as good as rumored, it’s better to be cautious with things that are popular on the Internet.

This is the most famous street stall in Bangkok. It was awarded one star by Michelin in 2018. There is only one 70-year-old grandmother in charge of the restaurant. She wears goggles and a knitted hat and cooks attentively. There is a must-order dish here, which is the crab meat egg roll, which is full of shelled crab meat. It is super delicious and satisfying to fold it.

This food stall is definitely the most legendary in Bangkok. It is the only food stall in the entire Bangkok catering industry that has been awarded one Michelin star. The chef in the stall is a 70-year-old grandmother. Her cooking skills are really superb. Every dish is carefully cooked, with beautiful colors and pure taste. The most distinctive thing is that the grandmother always wears a mask, which feels a bit mysterious.

There is a must-order dish here, the crab meat egg roll is full of shelled crab meat, which is very filling. It is then mixed with egg liquid and fried in oil. The grandmother rolls it while frying it. When it is almost formed, she starts to use egg liquid to wrap the outer layer. It is really delicious.

Raan Jay Fai is a Southeast Asian restaurant near the Golden Mount Temple in Bangkok. The vegetable rolls on the raan platter are made with shrimp and vegetables wrapped in pancakes, and the fried spicy crab is very flavorful and can be eaten with golden buns dipped in the spicy crab sauce.
