The film follows Supinya "Jay Fai" Junsuta, the 81-year-old self-taught street food legend who rose from modest beginnings to earn Bangkok’s first Michelin star for a street vendor. Her crab omelette has become world-famous, but this story goes far deeper—revealed through interviews, rare behind-the-scenes footage, and her unforgettable appearance at Copenhagen’s MAD Symposium. Directed by acclaimed food documentarian Arlei Lima and produced by Utopic Films, Jay Fai: Fire & Soul traces Supinya’s inspiring rise from poverty, including a devastating house fire that wiped out her family’s savings. Self-taught and fiercely perfectionist, Jay Fai transitioned from tailoring to cooking, creating signature dishes like her world-famous crab omelette.
