[First Impressions/Bangkok Life Hacks] Raan Jay Fai If not for the arrangement by a friend, I would never have initiated visiting Raan Jay Fai, but I did, and I was glad to have done so. Don't think I need to say more about how she is the only street food stall in Bangkok to win a Michelin Star, or how expensive her food is, but point everyone to appreciate her skill, craft and endurance. Her mastery of the wok and charcoal fire is flawless, and what amazes me is that she can cook everything by herself from 2.30pm to midnight. I would be exhausted just simply standing in that kitchen for an hour. I don't think it is something anyone can endure without a genuine passion for what he/she is doing. Taste-wise, I liked the crab omelette and tom yum soup the most. The first bite of the crisp omelette with the succulent crab reminded me very much of a fresh pack of prawn crackers (keropok as we call it in Malaysia), and my friends nodded in agreement. The tom yum soup was nicely balanced yet packed a sharp kick of spiciness at the end. Then again, taste is subjective, none of the dishes carried a huge wow factor in terms of taste for me. Was it worth the effort then? I would say yes, because for a food lover, it is already an honour to have witnessed Jay Fai wielding the wok in her 70s. However, I would also reveal that the reservation option is now open, so PLEASE MAKE A RESERVATION BEFORE YOU GO. Look closely as you scroll through the pictures below. #bangkoklifehacks #raanjayfai #michelinstar #michelinstarstreetfood #strangerinbangkok #bangkokfoodies #strangerfirstimpression #R30
