  Sister act

  B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 27/01/2019

  » Thai people just can't stay away from khao gaeng, or rice-and-side-dish shops. It's like a relative they have to see everyday. Most Thai people eat rice with side dishes for at least one meal a day. This is why these shops are everywhere. A shop in a good location, close to the office and transportation hubs and that offers lots of options can quickly gain in popularity.

  Making a good meal start at home

  B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 28/04/2019

  » Why do people in Bangkok rely mostly on food from vendors or restaurants? There are multiple answers to this. Some spend most of their time on the road. Cooking is not allowed in some apartments and condominiums. Hoarding ingredients like meat and vegetables is too complicated for some. Others have no cooking experience. Or believe it's a waste of time. Some think it costs more to cook at home than dining out.

  All good in your neighbourhood

  » Foods served at some particular restaurants may look nothing special. But once you've tasted them, you know you have to come back. Most such restaurants have never changed the way they cook. Their prices are highly affordable. And you can't beat the way they treat their customers. We sure love their down-to-earth and friendly manner.

  Dishing on noodles

  B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 29/01/2017

  » It might just be chauvinism on my part, and perhaps I just have it wrong, but I have the impression that Thailand has more noodle dishes than any other country. For starters, there are kuay tio luuk chin plaa (rice noodles with balls of pounded fish meat), ba-mee muu daeng or pet yang (wheat noodles with Chinese red pork or grilled duck meat), kuay tio ruea (rice "boat noodles"), kuay tio nuea (rice noodles with beef), kuai tio khae (Hakka style), kuay tio kaeng (also known as kuay tio khaek, in curried coconut cream sauce) and kuay tio kai mara (with chicken and bitter melon).

  Marvellous Markets

  » When it comes to travelling, everybody has his or her own specific purpose. Some might just want to stay trendy and go to popular places. Some travel to escape their hectic, fast-moving daily routine and probably to take a real break. Some travel just because they are curious about the unknown territory and maybe because they love challenges. Those who go on business trips usually don't have much time to explore.

  Only a matter of time

  B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 09/10/2016

  » When foods or ingredients disappear from Thailand's kitchens and menus, it usually has to do with changing social or environmental conditions. There is a strong link between Thailand's food and the prevailing social environment. In the days when Thai society was primarily agricultural, for example, most cooking was done by housewives, and dishes were simple to prepare. Ingredients were gathered from close by and varied with the season, and the food was tasty because everything used to make it was fresh and eaten as soon as it was cooked.
