Teriyaki treats
Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 23/05/2014
» In another good sign for the city’s maturing palate, regional variations are starting to grip. Japan is fiercely regional, after all, so to lump the bulky and noodle-lined okonomiyaki from Hiroshima with its Osakan or Okinawan counterparts, for example, would be a culinary crime. The latest instalment to widen our Japanese knowledge is Teriyaki Bar Kelly’s, a curious resto perched on a slightly mysterious empty block in the convenient pre-Thong Lor area. It feels like Beat Takeshi has walked into Bob’s Country Bunker in this competitor to the retro-rustic Imoya izakaya fave. Eclectic music selections and mis-matched light fittings complete the kooky urban barnyard mise-en-scene. Luckily it ducks the tired Sushi bar trend that has saturated Thong Lor, instead opting for a hybrid style of service with a distinct Nagoya bent. This is the second strong Nagoya representation of late following the cosy Hanakaruta sake den in Sukhumvit Soi 39. Most nighttime visitors to the soi don’t get much further than WTF or Opposite, but venture a little further in to find Kelly’s on the right. It seems that housewives take the early shift and salarymen later, true to cultural form. Inside, the timber and mish-mashed light fittings add to the charm and cosiness with space for around 35 diners.

Roman Holiday
Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 26/07/2013
» The restaurant scene of the city is flourishing, no doubt about it. This year has seen a swathe of openings, with everyone trying something new, fresh and different to get ahead of the pack. But Appia is unashamedly resisting, looking back in time to traditional Roman practices for inspiration rather than forward to a short-lived zeitgeist. It's a return to the origin of the mighty cuisine, taking diners on a trip to Rome.

Viva la brunch revolution
Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 16/08/2013
» Bangkok is a city of appearances, both misleading and true. Leaning towards the former, a brunch outing in Thong Lor can be an experience, particularly if you are lacking any corner of the Thong Lor Triumvirate - rich guy, trophy girl, sports car.

Delectable Mess
Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 21/06/2013
» Thong Lor is typically an area of neatness. Footpaths, hair curls, poodle coats - all perfectly groomed in the well-heeled part of town. But one creative cluster is breaking rank, going against the grain and messing things up at Opposite Mess Hall.

Follow the white rabbit
Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 28/06/2013
» If you're looking for a quiet spot to coffee up in Thong Lor, then track the rabbit down to the hidden and homey shophouse burrow of slow coffee bar Casa Lapin x49. Although a little culturally muddled (mixing Spanish and French words), the place gets seemingly everything else right and takes up the mantle the first branch in Thong Lor Art Village (Sukhumvit Soi 55) established, this time with more confidence and deeper pockets.

Cut,Copy,Paste
Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 19/04/2013
» There seems to be an awful lot of copycat cooking in this city, with trends being cut, copied and pasted around town as quickly as you can say, "Thong Lor is just too 2012... I'm moving to Ekamai." However, a new player in the game is Paste, which is bucking the trend and doing its own thing in a modern and innovative way.
