A very veggie delight
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 10/11/2017
» <b>The setting:</b> Alright, this doesn't really bring to mind a fancy wine and dine joint and it certainly isn't gourmet. But given that it was just vegetarian festival, we thought we'd represent a bit. Veggie Chef is what you're more likely to call street food; except, it's in an air-conditioned shophouse; it's MSG free and it's also completely vegan friendly. It's a bit of a way out of central Bangkok as it's quite close to Don Mueang Airport, yet we'll have you know that people with some hours to kill before their next flight will actually leave the airport to come to this joint, just because it's that good. Think of it as a no-frills vegan joint giving off a street food vibe, serving the most authentic tasting Thai food that's actually better than your regular Thai food because it's super healthy.

Bowled over
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 03/11/2017
» We popped by Vita Cafe one morning last week when it wasn't raining and had a rather delicious and filling start to our day. The cafe was set up by Vitatrade, a company that brings in acai berries straight from the Amazon of Brazil and supplies a number of businesses and restaurants in Bangkok. But, nobody knows acai bowls like these guys who import it, as Vitatrade's knowledge of acai bowls extends to its origin roots in Brazil and they've also tried many all around the world. So, what started off as a showroom for the berries, by public demand, soon turned into a cafe.

It's an organic party at Patom
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 06/10/2017
» <b>The setting:</b> Off the main street of Thong Lor (down Thong Lor 25 if you're coming from the BTS) is what can only be described as a jaw-dropping, high-ceilinged glass house and oasis with a garden. Patom, which in Thai means beginning, also recalls the area of Nakhon Pathom from which all its organic produce and raw materials come from. The family behind the renowned tourist destination of Sampran Riverside (more often known as The Rose Garden) bought the land alongside the Tha Chin River some 53 years ago and across from that property lies Patom's organic farm which is certified in accordance with IFOAM, EU and Canadian standards. Here, fruits herbs and vegetables are grown. Patom also gets its organic produce from other local farmers in Nakhon Pathom that are supported by BLISS, a foundation set up by Patom's founders. Alongside fresh organic produce and lunch boxes prepared daily, one can also head to the store to stock up on cold-pressed juices, drink hand-picked Chiang Dao coffee while sitting outside in the serene back garden and purchase a number of different natural body care and skin products. All products are either 100% organic or made using natural and local ingredients, with as much of the components being as organic as possible (from 30% upwards).

For natural appetites
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 25/08/2017
» You don't have to be a green geek to enjoy The Green Geek. Although, if you're super into all things organic, healthy and natural, then you will appreciate this store and cafe all the more. It's sorta' like a treasure trove for all things green; well... almost all things! Too bad if you're into a certain shade of green that shan't be mentioned here.

The best version of you
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 14/07/2017
» March of this year saw the unveiling of Thanyapura Health & Sports Resort's upgraded 37-room garden wing. The resort itself is recognised globally for its highly acclaimed sports training facilities, frequented by some of the best athletes on earth. But there's more to sports than sports and top athletes don't just get to where they are with a fit bod and ruthless training. The body is just one part of the equation; to optimise its functioning and capability, experts are now confirming that one must also hone a holistic approach to health that factors in mindfulness and integrative medicine.

Green and energised
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 12/05/2017
» Our kitchen supplies were running low on the good ol' healthy stuff so we decided to make a trip to this green grocery store and cafe, Ingreendient, a name we'd heard gleefully come out the mouths of many in recent months. The universe was obviously telling us to go check it out, so we did.

New-age soul food
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 27/01/2017
» Veganism is no longer just a fad Bangkokians are falling into, it's becoming a way of life. And thankfully, there are a growing number of restaurants in the city that will cater to this life choice. Not enough, but we're getting there. If you hate the thought of eating like a vegan, let's just say there really is no need to hate.

Kiki Made some bomb munchies
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 30/12/2016
» I came across Kiki Made's booth about a year ago at a Kolour In The Park do and I remember being so blown away; usually at music festivals you'll get some really unhealthy food that just adds to that awful hangover you really don't need. But there was Kiki, a vision, handing out bowls of goodness that made many tummies sing. So, when I heard she had finally opened up a bowl bar in Ekamai at the Light Room -- a whitewashed room with tall ceilings, white painted bar stools and white mannequin heads and torsos dotted behind the bar -- I went. Immediately.

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.

Guilt-free kanom
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 04/11/2016
» We first stumbled upon The Catering Table one lazy weekend at a Farmer's Market at K-Village. Imagine how chuffed we were when we finally found a Bangkok-based baking service that caters to people with food allergies. And to people who feel guilty everytime they eat dessert, i.e. us. Hello. Over here. Yup.
