The Pok Pok chef returns
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 01/03/2019
» From his humble beginnings as a dishwasher in Vermont, chef Andy Ricker's frequent travels to Thailand gave him a taste of northern Thai and Isan cuisines. After years of training, the restaurateur adapted the cuisines for his Pok Pok Thai restaurant in Portland, Oregon which would later expand into a franchise across several cities, including Los Angeles and New York. After making an appearance at last year's Mad Face Food Week, he is returning this year as the main chef of Mad Face's Exclusive Private Dinners to introduce his latest interest — Vietnamese cuisine.

» Attention, party people and night owls! Bored of the same old venues week after week? Wanna break the monotony from your usual hangout hotspots? Wish you had more choices rather than the usual clubs around Sukhumvit, RCA or Khao San? Fear not, Guru is here! I went around the Big Mango to find the newest clubs that are sure to keep your night full of dancing and drinking (responsibly)... for a fresh change.
Time to get healthy

» Launched in March, Cocogo is an online food delivery service that specialises in healthy eating, focused on those who don't have the time to cook or go to a restaurant. However, Cocogo isn't your usual "order one quick meal on the go". They deliver a set meal plan consisting of two or three meals a day. That means you can depend on their service for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But how does it fare among other healthy food delivery services? For those who haven't started that diet plan for their new year resolutions, read on to find out.
The other Korean chicken

» When it comes to South Korean cuisine, a popular concept they are known for is "chimaek", which is the pairing of fried chicken and beer. As simple as that sounds, I wouldn't mind munching on some crispy fried chicken while washing it down with a nice, tall glass of beer after work.

Sip sip hooray

» With the first month of 2018 over, we hope that your year has not been chaotic. Therefore, a celebration is needed and drinks are in order. Sure, you can call up friends and chill out at your usual hangout spots this weekend, but perhaps it's time to find new places. Fret not as I have visited five of the newest bars around Bangkok for you to check out, get some nibbles and of course, sip on unique cocktails.
Plant-based meal plans

» Following through with a diet plan can be an arduous task. You are what you eat after all, so maintaining a healthy lifestyle by being selective with your food choices could prove difficult for most people (including me). Pranaa Food For Life, a new food delivery service whose menu is based entirely around plants, could be the answer for a quick eat without the hassle of cooking healthy meals yourself. Having launched two months ago, Pranaa's vast selection of dishes are based on a plant-based whole food diet that's suitable for vegans. Therefore, their ingredients include vegetables, fruits, grains, legumes, herbs and spices, and are devoid of meat, dairy and eggs. All cooking oils are also excluded. Brown rice and bread are used whenever possible (sensibly). The service aims to help people lead longer and healthier lives. Colour us healthy then.
