Singer Lisa visited the chef of Jay Fai restaurant in Bangkok to congratulate her on receiving her seventh consecutive Michelin star.
The meeting between Lalisa Manobal (nicknamed Lisa) and Supinya Junsuta (nicknamed Jay Fai), who are two influential figures in Thai soft power, took place at the famous street food restaurant Jay Fai.
Thai K-Pop singer and dancer Lisa was accompanied by her mother and members of her team.
Executives from the South Korean food company Nongshim and the wife and daughter of Samsung's chairman also joined their table.
Lisa's presence was not only a celebratory gesture, it was also an opportunity to savor some of the restaurant's signature dishes.
As a thank you, Supinya Junsuta presented Lisa with an elegant box containing a special edition of Jay Fai instant noodles.
In fact, the restaurant has partnered with the famous Korean brand Shin Ramyun to introduce new flavors such as “Tom Yum” and “Tom Yum Dry” to the Thai market.
