Sweet cheesus
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 28/04/2017
» Cheese toasties are one of those deceptively simple dishes that are -- for some reason -- rather hard to find in Bangkok. At least a decent one is, anyways. Sure, anyone could put a slice of bread with a piece of cheese on top, shove it in the grill and call it a day. But that ain't the way I like my cheese toastie.
Flip the health switch
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 27/01/2017
» The new year brings about so many idealistic goals and changes -- and from our own past experiences, let's just say that it's fairly likely that not all will be achieved by February. So we figured, instead of completely cutting out sugar or carbs from your diet, how about making a few healthy swapsies instead.
Breaking bad news

» Now that 2016 is finally over, we can rest assured that all the bull**** and f**kery it brought with it will never be repeated. Right? RIGHT?! Bleh, who knows what the future has in store for us. Let's face it, this time last year the thought of Trump becoming the 45th President of the United States probably made you spit out your coffee or, if you're a hipster, choke on your kale juice. But then again, never say never, right?
Moly says Moo

» Dainty-looking gourmet pies probably come to mind when you mention the name "Holy Moly". And although we love their savoury and sweet offerings that are neatly packaged in delicious puff pastries, our recent visit to their new stall in Siam Paragon had us drooling over a new (albeit surprising) range of treats.
Handpicked hamper

» If we had it our way, the government would reconsider its stance on free speech and developers would stop building so many bloody malls. But since that's not how the world works (or at least Thailand anyway), we think it's probably a better idea to save our breaths, shut our gobs and indulge in the finer things in life instead. After all, it is the holiday season, which automatically means that calories don't count and three glasses is a perfectly decent number of vino to be had.
The making of a soi
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 09/12/2016
» 2016 has been full of ups and downs, highs and lows. It has, without a doubt, been an interesting year to say the least. So we can't help but wonder what 2017 has in store for us. Will Trump stick to his policies? Who knows. Will there be another car-related Thai hi-so drama for the public to scrutinise? Most likely. What is certain for Bangkokians though, is that our city will continue to change its landscape. Sadly, we think it may be for the worse, seeing as the new Bangkok governor's agenda includes projects to remove street vendors from Silom, Siam Square and Pratunam.
In anticipation of ANA
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 02/09/2016
» As Anantara Siam Bangkok readies its kitchen for the 17th World Gourmet Festival, we've scored an exclusive interview with Ana Roš, co-owner and chef at Hiša Franko (Kobarid, Slovenia) and one of the most anticipated headliners of this epic culinary event. It's the flowery, herbal, yet delicate and precise nature of her cooking that has made her the only woman, so far, to have joined the Cook it Raw luminaries group of chefs.
Truth tags

» Bangkok isn’t perfect. It’s ridden with countless flaws and things that don’t actually make any sense. Like the building of more condominiums when there’s no demand for them or constructing a flyover bridge with a concrete pole right in the middle of it. Heck, half the city is probably one giant health and safety hazard waiting to collapse to make the front page news. But hey, it’s home.
Bird of all feathers
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 27/05/2016
» Last month, when Guru decided to check out an icy summer drink at a dainty eatery in Ekkamai, we didn't know that our attention would be completely diverted from the incredibly photogenic beverage to the amazing collection of curiosities that were on display inside.
A zesty slurp

» Noodles are another one of our favourite staples for when we can't bring ourselves to eat yet another phad krapow. The joy of customising every minute detail of your order -- from choice of noodle, soup or no soup, to what veg to skip -- to your absolute liking is the pleasure of visiting a noodle shop.
