Let's do lunch
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 28/08/2015
» Lunch doesn’t have to mean quick stop at noodle shophouse, the same old offerings at your office canteen or eating at your desk (and inviting ants to be your new colleagues in the process). Even if you’re not an office worker, you deserve a proper afternoon break -- and the occasional two-hour lunch every now and then never hurt anybody.
