Everyone talks about the famous Michelin-starred Jay Fai Crab Omelette as a must-eat item if you’re visiting Bangkok, but it seems that there’s a new viral dish to look out for, set to become the new “It Omelette” of BKK!

Enter the ultra floofy Thai Soufflé Omelette by Samlor Bangkok, a hip Thai restaurant that has even landed itself on the Michelin Guide 2023! Think of the soufflé omelette as an elevated version of the classic Thai-style omelette rice, served atop a bed of fresh rice and various chilli sauces on the side. The Samlor omelette boasts a pretty impressive height, with a super light and fluffy “soufflé” texture and crispy fried top.

As if it couldn’t get any better—the omelette even oozes molten golden eggy lava the moment you cut through it! Just looking at the photos and videos of the soufflé omelette in action is more than enough to get us drooling…

Starting from just 380 baht (~$14 SGD) for the original omelette, Samlor’s starting price is already much more pocket-friendly when compared with Jay Fai’s starting price of at least $30 a plate. Not to mention, you won’t have to deal with Jay Fai’s insane queues just to get a taste of this fluffy Thai omelette goodness. So, will you be giving this viral Soufflé Omelette a try instead of braving the Jay Fai queues next time you’re in BKK?
