Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 03/07/2020
» It's a sad twist of fate that as quarantine restrictions have lifted, the rainy season is upon us.

If you and your friends want to hang out and have some fun, Guru's got a few fun spots even if it's raining cats and dogs.

Taking noodle up a notch

If the idea of kuay tiew has become uneventful, Mamarin Noodles can spice it up for you (lame food pun intended). You see, the new kuay tiew restaurant highlights a Ban Beung (a district in Chon Buri) variation of the popular street food while taking it up a notch with the cosy ambience and, most importantly, quality ingredients.
