Where to find seven delicious omelettes in Bangkok

Jay Fai

You can’t really make a list of Thai omelettes without including Jay Fai. Her eatery has been awarded a Michelin Star and has appeared in a few Netflix shows, including Street Food Asia, and Chef’s Table. You can see Jay Fai herself in action, wearing her signature goggles and working two woks at once. The food may not be as price-friendly as your other regular khai jiao street food haunts, but you’ll get a very large omelette filled with crab meat that comes in huge, sweet chunks — all cooked to perfection. Be ready for a queue if you’re heading there.

Opening times: Wed-Sat, 9am-7.30pm
Location: 327 Maha Chai Rd, Samran Rat, Phra Nakhon, Bangkok
Nearest station: Sam Yot, MRT

Nhong Rim Klong

Speaking of being included in the Michelin Guide, Nhong Rim Klong is a Thai eatery seafood lovers can’t miss. The fluffy omelette they offer is quintessential Thai, and filled with chunks on chunks of crab meat. Their ingredients are also very fresh with a price more than reasonable, so don’t hesitate to try your seafood favourites, including the squid with salted egg yolk, or the classic seabass tom yum.

More info: Nhong Rim Klong
Opening times: Mon-Sat, 8.30am-4.30pm
Location: 51 Ekkamai 23 Alley, Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok

Samlor

Thai culinary power couple Napol “Joe” Jantraget and Saki Hoshino opened Samlor as means to reinvent the cuisine. Their must-try signature is the famed omelette — fluffy, feather-light, and oozes creamy yolk once cut open. Pair that as you share some prawn ceviche (or goong chae nam phla) or the classic stir-fried chicken with cashew nuts. The restaurant fills up quickly, so be sure to book in advance.

More info: Samlor
Opening times: Wed-Mon, 6-10.30pm; also opens for lunch on Sat-Sun at 11am-1.30pm
Location: 1076 Charoen Krung Road, Bangrak, Bang Rak, Bangkok

Kiew Kai Ka

Kiew Kai Ka’s signature omelette is crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. If just including crab meat in the omelette itself is not enough for you, they added some more on top of the omelette, too. It tastes great, is Instagrammable, and is filled with nothing but deliciousness. Be sure to also order some classic dishes for the table, especially the delicious Thai salads.

Location: 33 Nak Niwat Rd, Lat Phrao, Bangkok
Nearest station: Lat Phrao 83, MRT

Jeh O

A local hit among locals and visitors alike, Jeh O is famous for her tom yum noodles packed with fresh, delectable seafood. However, we dare say that a sharing-style menu at this diner isn’t complete with an omelette. It’s filled with delicious flavours that go really well with other signature dishes they offer, including the massive bowl of tom yum noodles. Remember to get there early as the queue can be quite long.

The omelette with melinjo leaves is a classic Southern favourite, and it goes amazing well paired with your favourite Thai dishes, from kaprao, to prawns tom yum.

It’s perfect if you’re nearby and looking for a change from your usual lunch break, or looking to introduce yourself to new Thai delicacies.
