Jiggly joy
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 31/08/2018
» As you may already know, Siam Paragon is a playground for foodies -- the ground floor and fourth floor to be more specific -- and a new Japanese import just made itself home on Paragon's street level. With 54 branches in Japan, Osaka-born Gram Cafe & Pancakes (stylised as gram cafe&pancakes) is the latest entry that locals and tourists alike are queuing up for. Such is the life in Bangkok whenever famous food import lands on our soil.
Bangin' brunches
Guru, Nianne-Lynn Hendricks, Published on 31/08/2018
» The Urban Dictionary defines brunch as "A contraction of breakfast and lunch, usually occurring around the hour of 11am. Typically reserved for snobs."

I do love a good brunch (hey, don't judge me either!) and so I ate my way through a few to bring you the ones that go around the world, while never having to leave the 'Kok!

For the gram
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 31/08/2018
» Let's face it: we live in a day and age where our lives are all about social media. People use it for things as vain as conjuring up the perfect image for their followers, to things like having a good online presence for their business. Whatever the case, one of the main platforms that we use daily (if not hourly) is good ol' Instagram. Since 2010, IG has all of us sharing photos, choosing filters, taking videos, being obsessed with the right aesthetic and posting on our stories. IG is pretty easy to use -- what's so complicated about taking a photo and uploading it -- but come on, you don't want to be an IG noob. Here are six apps to turn your IG cred up a notch, and except for one, all of them are available on the App Store and Google Play.
