» Anyone who has ever worked or is currently working in the F&B and hospitality industry knows that the word "easy" is not a part of the job description. And anyone who says otherwise, is probably not doing it right. From dealing with difficult customers and unreliable suppliers to spending long hours on your feet in the kitchen working under tremendous pressure, there are a myriad of reasons that make working in F&B sound far from a dream job to most. But there are those few out there who welcome these challenges and manage to do it with a smile still intact.

Fresh & flawless
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 07/11/2014
» The opening of Fillets is like the arrival of rain after years of drought — it gives the neighbourhood of Lang Suan a taste of modernity that was clearly lacking. Set inside Portico, the community mall that seems to guarantee restaurants and shops a lifespan of about six months before disappearing into thin air, Fillets stands proudly on the third floor with a clear aim of providing urbanites with contemporary Japanese fare. There is a balcony area for those who prefer fresh air, or settle yourselves inside among the comfort of a modern warehouse-style interior and authentic Japanese decor like a ceramic sake flask and cups. Diners include office workers, celebrities and loyal fans of the infamous duo — Chef Randy and beverage director Ping — who are at the forefront of modern Japanese cuisine and mixology in Bangkok.

The campaigns
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 03/10/2014
» Recently, Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha issued a 23-page policy statement on how he intends to get this country back on its feet. Of course, we’re not one to criticise his foolproof plans, nor suggest that he should come up with another song, this time collaborating with popular artists like Thaitanium or Joey Boy to keep the young’uns from switching radio stations every time the tune comes on. Instead, Guru enlists the help of aspiring change-makers from different industries to come up with their own political campaigns of what improvements they’d like to see, what laws should be implemented and even the lyrics to their own songs; so if the present and future PMs ever run out of ideas, they’ll know where to look.
