READING:
A street-food seller does not want a top chef's award. Jai Fai, 72, is the "crab omelet queen". Her stall is in Bangkok. Her omelets are very tasty, so the world food guide, Michelin, gave her an award. Usually, only chefs in top restaurants get this award. Many people are surprised that a street-food seller got the award.
Jai Fai is not happy with the award. She doesn't want it. Her life has changed. She doesn't like being famous and wants her old life back. She is getting stressed because tourists are taking photos of her. Fai said many people take pictures and do not eat. She said happy customers are more important than "a million stars".
