» Bored of eating the same thing twice? Fear no more, here's a list of restaurants that have shuffled things up to make sure you're never bored or short of choices while dining out.
Elevated Indian

» If you've been in Bangkok as long as I have, you know to forego the hype and stick to good food. Enter Maya, Indian restaurant at the Holiday Inn Sukhumvit 22, which has been a favourite since the days of free-flow ladies' nights.
Go gaga Here

» I am always happy when Indian chefs outside of India showcase the vast culinary repertoire of the sub-continent. Here, the new casual brunch spot and wine bar by chef Garima Arora of Gaa, aims at doing just that.
A monsoon special

» The star of the Indian monsoons isn't the sometimes torrential rain but "bhutta" or corn on the cob. Every street corner has a vendor with a small charcoal grill serving up piping hot corn, which has been given a good rubbing with fresh lime and chill.
Cooks in the house

» I am all cooked-out. These work from home, stay at home and cook at home hashtags have worn me out. Back in the good ole days (early March this year), I ate out a lot. Well, mostly because the job demanded it and I like to eat out. Though these days, I long for food not cooked by me. Just simple home-cooked food and the one thing this pandemic has given rise to (apart from the obvious) is home cooks. And there are a wide range of them offering a variety of cuisines.

Hot off the coals
Guru, Nianne-Lynn Hendricks, Published on 31/05/2019
» Despite modern cooking techniques and fancy equipment making their way to restaurant kitchens, nothing beats the flavour of produce cooked over an open fire. Suddenly everyone and their mother is into barbecue and charcoal and wood-fire cooking are making a comeback in a big way, so much so that chefs are designing and building their own pits for their kitchens. Guru has complied a good (if we may say so ourselves) mix of Bangkok restaurants offering various cuisines from the live fire. After all, it's not just the heat that counts, conquering fire is what made us human!
All in good taste
Guru, Nianne-Lynn Hendricks, Published on 05/10/2018
» Small portions, several dishes, a single meal… tasting menus are all the rage in Bangkok, especially since the launch of the Michelin Guide. While a few argue that a degustation menu (the French word for tasting menu, oh la la!) may not be the best way to tackle what a restaurant has on offer, fine dining aficionados beg to differ. A showcase of creative culinary craftsmanship, these menus are all about treating your senses. I have done the dirty work of tasting six of Bangkok’s latest tasting menus for your oral pleasure.
