    Witching around

    Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 24/12/2021

    » When Game Of Thrones ended, it left a bad taste in almost everyone's mouth but more importantly, it left a gory and busty fantasy medieval void in the world. Once a Net­flix adaptation of The Witcher, a popular franchise consisting of novels and video games, was announced, everyone speculated that it would fill that void. While there are similarities, the Netflix show starring Henry Cavill quickly carved out a place and built a fanbase of its own. Guru speaks to showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich about season two, which was released last week, and the difference between what the Geralt audiences saw in the past to the one they'll see now.

    » The streets of the city have roared back to life, rush hours are a thing once more and the busyness of Bangkok has returned. On one hand, it's great that everything seems to be coming back to normal.

    Mexican with a twist

    Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 10/01/2020

    » Mexican cuisine used to be something you had to hunt down in Bangkok but recent years have seen more and more restos popping up all around. Now, it's not at all difficult to have your Mexican craving satiated and while I'm one of the people who's thankful it's so easily available, it's always the "usuals" you see when you're ordering Mexican: burritos, tacos, enchiladas -- the works. "Don't fix it if it ain't broke" as the saying goes, but La Cocina has dared to give it a bit of a twist.

    Witchers & monsters

    Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 27/12/2019

    » The Witcher, which was released last week on Netflix, follows Geralt of Rivia, played by the ridiculously good-looking Henry Cavill, a mutated monster-hunter who prefers keeping to himself though destiny has other plans. We attended the show's fan event in Manila, the Philippines, where we sat down with the show's showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, who has also worked on The Umbrella Academy and Daredevil, to talk about The Witcher.

    Flying high

    Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 13/12/2019

    » Yosuke Chatmaleerat is a number of different things. He's a gymnast, pianist and pilot — three things which require a lot of dedication, practice and skill. He's skilled in all three at just 27 years old and if that doesn't make you question what you've been doing in your life, he's recently just got another achievement under his belt. Well, it's more of a record. He now holds the Guinness World Record for the fastest journey through all 48 mainland states of the US by helicopter.

    Casually Italian

    Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 15/11/2019

    » When people mention Italian dining, there might be a certain image that comes to mind: perhaps it's a little hi-so, maybe even fine dining and something that's saved for a special meal where you dress up all nice. Gigi wants to do the complete opposite.

    Daniel in the music den

    Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 20/09/2019

    » Messy hair, baggy shirts and a 90s vibe all around, Daniel Didyasarin seems like your typical half-Thai, half-American schoolboy with vintage tendencies. You might pass him on the sidewalk without a second thought, but this fresh-faced young man is a promising artist on the rise in Thailand's music scene. Daniel is a member of the bands Penny Time and City Plant, but since those two bands are currently on a break (hopefully not the Ross and Rachel kind), he's kept busy and released his first solo album Bedroom, not to mention a couple of EPs and singles, as well. You get the chance to hear him live on Sept 22 at Siri House. Guru sat down and talked to the burgeoning young artist.

    Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 14/06/2019

    The art and science of burgers

    Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 03/05/2019

    » Rattanapong "Taiki" Tsubota made waves two years ago when he started Homeburg. If it isn't obvious already, the name is a mix of "home" and "burger", which encapsulates the burgers he made back then. But that isn't the reason why his burgers went viral. Aside from being meticulously and precisely crafted, he was serving four to eight burgers a day, eventually racking up a long wait list. Now, he's set up shop for the next six months at 72 Courtyard with Bun Meat & Cheese by Homeburg, where he's serving his famed burgers with a slightly higher availability at 100 burgers a day. We sat down with the burgerman to talk about his method and process, and why he wants to keep a limit on the burgers.
