[Tips for eating at Here Hai]
This is one of the hottest local eats at Bangkok, and you’ll likely be caught with a long queue when you arrive. Here’s my tip on dining there.
.
1. Reservations are accepted. You can try calling or DM them to make a booking so that you don’t have to queue.
2. If you don’t have a booking, be sure to write your name on a list near their door when you arrive. Your position on the list counts, your physical position in the queue doesn’t.
3. Their most popular dishes are the crab fried rice and crab omelette. For just 100 baht more, you can have even more crabs with your rice and omelette.
4. You can also “upgrade” your crab to ‘lump crab’, which are chunkier. I actually prefer the normal crabs because it came with both the crab legs and lump crabs. Since they’ll deshell it for you, why not have the legs as well which are more tender?
5. It’s really ok if you didn’t make it to Here Hai. You’ll read some reviews saying their fried rice came with wok hei, while others lament the lack of it. Lucky for me, mine has lots of wok hei. Even then, several tze char in Singapore and Malaysia are capable of producing good wok hei fried rice. Here Hai‘s edge is their access to cheap crabs, so at 480 baht (S$20), you can have a plate with loads of lump crab atop the fried rice. It’s not cheap by Bangkok standards, not fantastic cooking by Bangkok/Singapore/Malaysia standards either. It may be good, but you aren’t really missing out much.
