Art, wine and pizza
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 25/03/2016
» Gallery Pizza officially branded itself as a place that home delivers high quality Italian pizza until 4am. They do -- but I'm about to re-brand them.

This Lady Brett is beaming
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 01/04/2016
» Serenely tucked away above road level at 72 Courtyard is the new instalment of Lady Brett, the mighty Thong Lor rendition. Named after the character of Lady Brett Ashley, the twice-divorced Englishwoman who had numerous love affairs in Ernest Hemingway's 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises, this new joint certainly makes you feel like you're stepping into a different era. Perhaps a 1920s Parisian gentleman's cozy quarters or even the living room of a country manor, if you will.

All about that jazz and glitter
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 29/04/2016
» The second volume of The Iron Faries' fairytale is upon us. We all know how much of an impact the first bar and restaurant had on Bangkok's nightlife; Thong Lor has never been the same. The Iron Fairies Dragonfly at Central Eastville is definitely going to be another game changer, methinks. It may seem far out but hey, there's more to Bangkok than Thong Lor.

The two-day getaway
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 13/05/2016
» Confession: nowadays, I get anxious when it comes to taking holidays. They've become so hi-so, and if they're not luxury-laden then they're not worth taking, apparently. You end up spending more time appearing to enjoy yourself in your photos than actually enjoying yourself. And usually you end up experiencing the exact opposite of what you intended: rest and relaxation. Hah -- more like mess and frustration!

Freshly baked and beefy!
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 09/09/2016
» A quick 5 minute walk from Asoke BTS, past Sukhumvit soi 18, and we'll admit some pretty dank and dirty bars, you'll find a modest joint serving some meat filled brioche buns that we all need more of in our lives. More of these and we all would be a lot more happy for sure!

Simply sweeter in Singapore
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 09/09/2016
» Chang recently launched its first global initiative to bring Thai food to the world. LUCKY world. "Chang Sensory Trails", curated by LA-based Chef Jet Tila, Thailand's Culinary Ambassador to the USA, featured a selection of mouthwatering dishes triggered from memories of his time spent in Thailand. The inaugural event was held in Singapore at the Bay Front Event Space last month and was set in a multi-sensorial playground amid music, lighting and what else, of course, but copious amounts of Chang beer. Guru was more than happy to join in on all the festivities and flavours.

Toro, today and tomorrow!
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 14/10/2016
» <b>The Setting</b>: With a name like Toro, you might expect medieval looking (and smelling) walls draped with bull heads, men boasting bare tattooed arms, floors covered in hay, waiters dressed in red running for their lives and other bits of evidence pointing towards man's obsession with the blood sport of bull fighting. Or maybe we got a bit carried away there, whoops. Toro Bangkok is far from all that, thankfully. Being the last of the restaurants we'll have visited in the upper floor of the courtyard, we certainly mean what we say when we declare it to be our favourite.

Swept away
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 11/11/2016
» It was quite an intriguing experience being picked up at an airport by a private speedboat. Never mind that I was in the Maldives, a country I had never before been, standing outside the airport and staring out at the glistening azure Indian Ocean, probably one of the most beautiful visuals I've ever seen in my life. No no, the speedboat marked my departure from reality.

The game changer
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 09/12/2016
» <b>The setting:</b> When we heard that The Reflexions had recently taken on its first lady head chef, Dutch national Roxanne Lange, we headed on right over to the Plaza Athénée. After all, this marks a new chapter in the restaurant's storied history. And, what a way to put a fresh interpretation on modern French cuisine -- by adding some warmly welcomed feminine and Dutch flavours to the mix. Chef Lange, having previously worked under Michelin Star guidance at the Savelberg, brings with her a wealth of knowledge in French cuisine as well as her training from Rotterdam too. The restaurant itself, tucked away on the third floor of the hotel, has dim and intimate lighting. The notes of a live piano, played by Jean Francois, The Reflexions resident French pianist, grace the space with sounds of jazz tunes interwoven haphazardly with classical and romantic all-time greats.

For regal palates
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 03/02/2017
» <b>The setting:</b> There's a sacred ruby of a restaurant tucked away in the deep depths of Sukhumvit Soi 13, officially housed within the Radisson Suites but, on approach, it looks grand enough to be a stand-alone. A royal blue awning, pressed with the golden crest of Punjab Grill's internationally recognised lion covers the arched wooden doors. When you step through, a world of class and elegance cascades over you; the interior exudes a warm and contemporary atmosphere that somehow mixes in a "British India" colonial feel; warm wooden floors, red tints, high ceilings, long golden curtains and of course, a Chesterfield sofa form parts of the magnificent whole. You won't feel cooped up in here, that's for sure. There's an open kitchen featuring three authentic copper and clay tandoor ovens.
