Stylish new Silom
Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 06/06/2014
» Just when we were positing the strange absence of more higher-end restaurants in the Silom area, Vesper appears on the scene right on queue. Nested among the street food stalls and Silom foot traffic, this European bistro-style eatery takes its name from a drink, a Bond girl and a Latin phrase meaning “evening ritual”, if one reference isn’t enough. The room is shaped like a square, and the low ceiling keeps things cosy (not as low as Eat Me, luckily), particularly towards the back of the room. A similar mood — perhaps a modern take on the tired Zanotti grandeur — can be experienced elsewhere in the city, such as Little Beast in Thong Lor, and we weren’t surprised to hear the co-owning couple at the helm — Choti and Debby — are also involved there. Back here, there’s enough space for 60 diners or so, with some bar stools for the more dedicated drinkers to marvel at the mixology.

» Strange days have indeed found us, but that doesn’t mean we have to stop enjoying ourselves in this fair city. We just need to be a little more creative about it. And while many staple venues have been closing cautiously early, certain others are bending the curfew boundaries, particularly local neighbourhood bars. Just ask around (and jump on Grab Taxi phone app if you need safe passage after hours). Still, some stoic organisers are bravely persisting. The show must go on, right? And while we definitely advise checking online before attending events to see if they are going ahead, here are some curfew-cautious tips for finding some action over the next week.

Hot dog!
Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 09/05/2014
» THE SET-UP: With the pizza and burger scene of the city a little saturated, perhaps it was only a matter of time that the hot dog race began in earnest. After success at Nana BTS station, Superdog has opened a dine-in location in Thong Lor to up the dog stakes just round the corner from rival Bangers. The cosy space has enough room for about 12 diners, who probably won’t hang around too long to notice the gaudy decor and direct lighting. (It ain’t called fast food for nothing). But the visitors are probably there for one thing. The hand-made dogs come courtesy of James, a Californian who spent enough time in New York to develop a serious affinity with the dog. Spend 10 minutes with the guy and you’ll soon know he is serious about his product.
Book launch
Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 09/05/2014
» MARKET: There will be another Noise Market over the weekend (May 10-11). Slightly strange timing since it has started raining, but the show will go on. They’re promising an “Indie Craft Fair, Art, DIY, Workshop, Street Music Festival”, and there will be this and plenty more, judging from the last one which went down well. There are 40 bands on the line up to lay the soundtrack over the market, which has 40 official sellers. Venue is Museum Siam (4 Sanam Chai Road, fb.com/museumsiamfan), with a start time of 2pm. Free entry.
