That visit to Jay Fai post-lockdown
Jay Fai needs little introduction. A 1,000 baht crab meat omelette had many flocking to this Michelin-star restaurant – tourist and local alike. Reservation used to be near impossible, and many had to wait few hours for a table.

So, visiting Jay Fai was probably one of our smartest move, after hearing that it’s back in operation after the easing of lockdown measure. We came on a late morning weekday in early June, and a reservation wasn’t necessary at that point. We were told that customers have started trickling back usually from 12pm onwards, so we arrived around 11am to secure a table without reservation and it worked!
There are few popular dishes – but since our group consist of mainly eaters, we decided to stick with just 4 dishes.
Of course we ordered the infamous crab meat omelette. It’s worth the money with the insane mouthful of fresh crab meat used. Thumbs up!
We also ordered a tom yum prawn soup (1,000 baht), fried rice with prawn (600 baht) and stir fry kale with abalone (600 baht) (not in the picture)..
Total damage 3,290 baht.
