Cold relief
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 26/03/2021
» T he sun has started to bear down a little more heavily these days. Brief walks to the 7-Eleven are starting to result in sweaty shirts. The cool, billowing breeze from an AC turned down to 10C degrees is starting to feel a little more pleasant than before. Brace yourselves: the onset of summer is here. What better way to alleviate the summer heat than perhaps a cool, refreshing dessert? Okay, ice cream is great no matter what season (I'd eat it even if it was winter. Then again, Bangkok doesn't really have "winter"). But you know what's better than delectable ice cream during the ridiculously hot Bangkok summer? Delectable ice cream that's delivered right to your doorstep during the ridiculously hot Bangkok summer! Here are some cool ice cream places you can order from to give you some sweet, delicious summer relief.

Doughnuts high
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 05/03/2021
» While doughnuts aren't rare in Bangkok, they can be hit-or-miss. Some might be too sweet that even one doughnut puts you in a sugar coma while others are just laden with artificial flavouring. You sometimes also get doughnuts made with unsatisfying dough. However, Drop By Dough dashes all of those to bits and entices customers to enter their quaint Scandinavian-designed shop, settle in and dig into what perhaps is one of the best doughnuts in the city.

A taste of the Philippines
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 16/10/2020
» Filipino cuisine is utterly delicious yet somewhat tricky because there are so many versions of each specific dish that you'll find all around. Take something like the well-known and beloved adobo, a dish that both Filipinos and non-Filipinos have fallen in love with. Adobo can be cooked with a variety of meats like chicken, pork and even squid, and depending on how you like it or if you're Filipino, how your mum or grandmother cooked it, you're used to adobo being dry and pasty or wet with a little bit of soup. There's not just one correct way to cook Filipino dishes so it may be difficult to please everyone. However, Viva Filipinas could be the restaurant in the City of Angels that changes all of that.

Have food, will travel
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 19/07/2019
» Simplicity would be the best way to describe Herringbone on Sukhumvit 53. It calls itself a café most likely because it doesn't have that big of a space though it's comfortable to sit and move around. Inside are a number of small tables two people can dine at, as well as a beautiful wooden long table if you've got more company. But if the weather is nice, their outside seating is perfect, providing a peaceful garden aesthetic. You don't have to worry about cars either as there's little traffic on the soi. Now sit back and prepare yourself for a culinary journey.

Puttin' on the Ritz
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 14/06/2019
» The name "Ritz-Carlton" is synonymous to luxury so when I stayed at their location in Koh Samui, I expected nothing less. I'm glad to say they didn't disappoint. The Ritz-Carlton, Koh Samui offers guests a relaxing and indulging stay complete with a variety of choices to dine at, a number of activities to enjoy, rooms that are just fan-freaking-tastic and an oceanfront location that provides views that will take your breath away.

Summer treats
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 03/05/2019
» If you're like me, you've probably been asking the same thing for the past month or so now: when is this heat going to end? I know I'm supposed to be used to it living in Bangkok but I think we can all agree that the heat is terrible and that our weather apps are lying when they say it only 35°C outside. However, we do have a decision to make, either we let the heat get to us (which it already has, kind of) or we can enjoy what the summer has to offer: a number of seasonal summer treats. Yes, this heat has made it ripe for a number of treats to come out of the woodwork, enticing us to enjoy them. And so, because we truly do love you, dear readers, we've done the heavy lifting and tried some of these treats for you. Which ones should you try and which ones should you stay away from?

Golden delicious
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 05/04/2019
» The sweltering heat of Bangkok is becoming more and more unforgivable and we are seeking ways to relieve us from the hellish temperatures. Enter The Mango Garden, a dessert place in Siam Paragon to help us cool off in the most refreshing and delicious way. While this branch has been around for a year and a half, its first branch was on Phi Phi island. The brand also has shops in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The Year That Was
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 28/12/2018
» 2018 has come and gone as quickly as motorcyclists swerve off the sidewalk when they see a cop. And it's been a whirlwind of a year -- the Winter Olympics, Harry and Meghan, Yanny and Laurel and the daring rescue of the boars. With the many, many events, it's hard to recap everything in one go. Plus, we don't want to make the same mistake YouTube Rewind did. So we decided to ask people from various walks to life to tell us what the year has been for them. Here's a look back at 2018 and here's us wishing you a Happy New Year!

Soul food
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 16/11/2018
» Caribbean cuisine is a rare find in the Big Mango but the arrival of Jamaican Eatz is making it a little more available to us Bangkokians. Established by two New Yorkers who found themselves missing it, they took matters into their own hands and established Jamaican Eatz. For a year, they did wholesale, selling pies to different shops and restos, but it was only a month ago that they put up a stall at W District in Phra Khanong.
