The one to order off the fire

The crab omelette, a log of crab meat wrapped in crisp egg

Where to sit: The wait can be hours. Book through the shop's own channels if you can, or put your name down when it opens and come back.

What it burns: Charcoal, fanned under the wok until it roars

Supinya "Jay Fai" Junsuta, in her ski goggles, cooks every dish herself over charcoal; a Michelin star for street food.
