Eatery and entertainment
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 09/03/2018
» Opened in late December, Oh Chic embodies both eatery and entertainment at one address. The place is where you can dine, dance and be entertained. With an ambiance that I would dub as "Oriental chic" (PC police, please don't write to me), it wouldn't be too hard to imagine killing several hours here, in style. As you explore this vast venue, you'll come across decor that is, well, Asian. Think upside-down umbrellas on the ceiling, a bar with a Chinese pattern in the front and ceiling lamps with birdcage lampshades. For that matter, Oh Chic's logo is that of Asian lady.
Taking noodle up a notch
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 16/02/2018
» The Setting: A kuay tiew experience doesn't have to mean a quick shophouse meal where all the tables have the flimsy pink papers for wiping everything and plastic jugs filled with tea that look like they have never been washed. If the idea of kuay tiew has become uneventful, Mamarin Noodles can spice it up for you (lame food pun intended). You see, the new kuay tiew restaurant highlights a Ban Beung (a district in Chon Buri) variation of the popular street food while taking it up a notch with the cosy ambience and, most importantly, quality ingredients.

Banh mi and bourbon
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 05/01/2018
» The Setting: Not only Happy Endings, a new restaurant in Sala Daeng Soi 1, should pique your interest with its double entendre name (intentional or not) but also its contemporary take on Vietnamese cuisine. I climbed a green metal staircase, passing the restaurant's name spelt in handwritten lowercase with neon lights and opened a double-panel door to a casual space. Think bare ceiling with pipes running along it and exposed beams.

Cafe with a good cause
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 29/12/2017
» It's not everyday that your meal comes with a healthy helping of social awareness. To my best knowledge, Dine In The Dark at Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit hires blind staff, while KFC employed deaf staff at three of their branches several years ago.
