Guide to Eating at Jay Fai Restaurant

Raan Jay Fai (Jay Fai Restaurant) is possibly the most famous restaurant in all of Southeast Asia. Famous amongst locals, expats, foodies, and travelers for decades, Jay Fai came to international fame when her small local restaurant won a Michelin star in the 2018 edition of the Bangkok Michelin Guide - the first street restaurant to win such a prestigious award. Since then, Jay Fai and her famous restaurant have been featured in travel shows such as Netflix's Street Food and Somebody Feed Phil, and she has been called "the best cook in Thailand" by none other than Martha Stewart. Today, it's becoming harder and harder to get a seat at Jay Fai's perpetually busy restaurant. Here's everything you need to know about taking part in this once-in-a-lifetime culinary experience!

World-Famous Guitar Duck at Ramruay Pochana, Bangkok, Thailand

Guitar Duck by Ramruay Pochana Restaurant, Bangkok, Thailand I had heard about Bangkok's legendary guitar duck for years and finally got the chance to try this very special Thai-Chinese delicacy at Ramruay Pochana, the restaurant that pioneered this unique cooking method. Guitar duck, named for the special way in which it is prepared and cooked, is a rich, filling, smoky, sweet, and savory preparation of some of the highest-quality duck meat in Thailand. Be sure to bring a big appetite if you are planning to pay a visit to Ramruay Pochana! guitar duck in Bangkok, Thailand

Goose Palo, or Thai-Chinese Five-Spice Goose at Urai Braised Goose, Bangkok, Thailand

Goose Palo, or Braised Five-Spice Goose by Urai Braised Goose in Chinatown, Bangkok, Thailand (Song Wat Road) Palo, or five spice stew, is one of my favorite Thai-Chinese dishes. Typically, it's made from very soft slow-cooked stewed pork, or occasionally from duck meat. We were recently visiting Bangkok's vibrant, colorful, and always chaotic Chinatown, hungry for delicious Thai-Chinese food. We stopped in at a crowded palo restaurant for breakfast. This wasn't a typical palo shop, though. Instead of pork belly, their palo is made from roasted goose! braised Chinese five-spice goose palo in Bangkok, Thailand's Chinatown

World-Famous Mixed Seafood with Garlic and Cilantro at Fikeaw (Bangkok, Chinatown)

Famous Seafood at a Streetside Restaurant by Fikeaw Yao Wa-Rat, Bangkok, Thailand (Chinatown) If you find yourself on Yaowarat Road in Bangkok late at night, you'd really be missing out if you didn't stop for some of the city's most famous seafood. Dining at Fikeaw is truly a sensory experience. Tables and chairs are set out on the side of the road and food is served from the open-air kitchen. Smoke fills the air as tuk-tuks and taxis zip past beneath the neon lights of Chinatown's gold shops, hotels, and restaurants. If you want to have a true Bangkok street food experience, I cannot recommend eating here enough! mixed seafood stir-fried with garlic, pepper, and cilantro

Mr. Song's Pork Satay in Bangkok, Thailand: award-winning moo satay since 1980

Moo Satay, or Grilled Pork Skewers by Mr. Song's Pork Satay (Nai Song), Bangkok, Thailand Moo Satay Nai Song, or Mr. Song's Pork Satay, has been famous in Bangkok since 1980! The menu is simple: Mr. Song serves only pork satay and its sides. In my opinion, when a restaurant that has been open for nearly half a century serves just one item, you know it's got to be good. Moo satay is a type of Thai pork satay, or marinaded pork meat traditionally cooked on skewers over charcoal grills.

Kuay Jab (ก๋วยจั๊บ) by Nai Ek, Bangkok, Thailand (Chinatown) Yaowarat , Bangkok's chaotic Chinatown neighborhood is a sensory overload. The largest Chinatown in the world is home to a vibrant community of more than 100,000 people of Thai-Chinese heritage and tons of amazing fusion food that is hard to find anywhere else in the world. This neighborhood is known as one of the best food spots in all of Bangkok (itself recognized as one of the best food cities in the world). While most of the culinary activity happens at night when the sun goes down and the vendors set up their late-night shops and stalls along the busy street, there's plenty to find during the daytime as well. One of the most famous dishes that you must try when visiting Bangkok is kuay jab , or rolled noodle soup. kuay jab, or peppery rolled noodle pork soup

On Lok Yun: Classic Thai-Style Breakfast in Bangkok

Classic Thai Breakfast by On Lok Yun, Bangkok, Thailand On Lok Yun, a legendary Thai shophouse restaurant has been serving up all-day breakfast in Bangkok's Rattanakosin neighborhood since 1933. I'm a guy who loves his breakfast , and while I absolutely adore Thai food , as a long-term American expat living in Bangkok, I sometimes start to miss a good old-fashioned (and most importantly, affordable) Western-style breakfast. I had heard about On Lok Yun recently and was excited to pay a visit to this famous old Bangkok institution to try their famous all-day breakfast. 2 eggs + 4 toppings, On Lok Yun's breakfast special

Peking Duck by Ramruay Pochana Restaurant, Bangkok, Thailand

Peking Duck (北京烤鴨) by Ramruay Pochana Restaurant, Bangkok, Thailand Peking duck is a personal favorite dish of mine. This is a rich and delicate Chinese dish made from the thin skin of a five-day roast duck wrapped in a super thin Chinese pancake along with a sliver of cucumber and green onion and dipped in a sweet and savory sauce. Dating back to the Imperial era of China, this dish has a history going back as far as the early 14th century! Peking Duck by Ramruay Pochana Restaurant, Bangkok, Thailand

Dim Sum Tuang by Chef Yip - Cantonese-Style Dim Sum in Bangkok, Thailand

Dim Sum Tuang by Chef Yip, Bangkok, Thailand I don't often have dim sum. It's a Hong Kong (or Cantonese, more generally) specialty, and not necessarily a popular street food dish in Thailand. However, lately dim sum has been becoming more and more popular throughout the kingdom. A while back, my wife and I took a staycation along the riverside in Bangkok. For lunch, we decided to check out Dim Sum Tuang by Chef Yip, a super famous restaurant along Charoenkrung Road.

Lhok Nga Thin, or Chicken Stew with Rice by Sae Phun, Bangkok, Thailand

Legendary "Lhok Nga Thin" Chicken Stew with Rice (Bib Gourmand) by Sae Phun in Bangkok's Old Town Sae Phun, a small and very traditional shophouse restaurant in Bangkok's Old Town Rattanakosin neighborhood, has been serving up plates of its legendary chicken stew since 1926! The third-generation family-run restaurant won Michelin's coveted Bib Gourmand award given for amazing food at a great price, and when I stumbled upon it, just steps away from the Temple of the Giant Swing, I stopped in for a late breakfast.
