After decades of working anonymously in her Thai restaurant, a Bangkok woman found celebrity in her seventies
.
She is the wok-wielding, goggles-wearing grandma who s stunned the culinary world with her succulent Thai street food. Cooking from a basic kitchen in an old Bangkok shophouse, Supinya Junsuta, 76, is the chef of the place that became the world s first Michelin-starred street food restaurant
. Now her celebrity status has been further boosted, after earning the icon status in the prestigious Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants awards.
But fame hasn’t changed the woman known as “Jay Fai”. Even as Thailand has been gripped by the Covid-19 pandemic, she’s been working 60-hour weeks. Wearing goggles to protect her eyes as she operates a wok over an open flame, Jay Fai has continued making her signature dishes of rad na noodles, tom yum soup and crab omelettes at her restaurant, Raan Jay Fai.
