Gone but not forgotten
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 07/08/2016
» Many old Thai dishes that were familiar to people of a few generations ago are gone now, but among the old dishes, a number have been revived and are appearing on menus again.

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.

Rise and dine
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 13/08/2017
» Research dictates that human beings have to eat in the morning to get fuel for the day. It's clear that breakfast is important and we shouldn't skip it. The time we spend sleeping overnight is time spent without nutritional intake. If you omit the first meal of the day, you might feel more weakened and, in the worst of scenarios, prone to sickness.

If memory serves
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 14/05/2017
» Something strange happens to people who have been around for some time and adopted a certain taste for the past. At times, it could be so bad that may make them either nostalgic or fussy -- maybe both at the same time.

Those bygone dishes may look the same, perhaps slightly different, but they simply don't taste the same. Such a disappointment is hard to swallow.

Tom yam steps up to the plate
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 19/06/2016
» In a Thai meal where some of the dishes on the table are served "dry" (without broth or a liquid sauce) -- fish or shrimp fried with paper and garlic, for example, or beansprouts stir-fried with tofu -- a soup with a spicy bite is needed to provide a satisfying balance of flavours. A tom yam is exactly right, and is often the first choice.
