    Bold move, big flavours

    Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 23/09/2016

    » From a food blog, to a cooking studio. Nhoi Ouypornchaisakul has eaten her way through America, written about everything from family recipes to local street vendors, worked in prestigious kitchens such as Nahm and Bo.lan, and co-founded Bangkok Bold Cooking Studio (503 Phrasumen Road, Fb.com/BangkokBoldCookingStudio) with Supanut Khanarak, the former head chef at Spice Market. Together, they teach Thai cooking classes and host private dinners in a chef’s table style that’s becoming extremely popular among the foodies crowd. She shares with us some of the misconceptions people (yes, even us Thais) have about Thai cuisine and if there’s really such a thing as “authentic” Thai food.

    Flavours to live by

    Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 09/10/2015

    » They say the kitchen is the heart of the home, and who can argue with that statement when you're living in a country like Thailand? We're a food-obsessed breed, submerged in a culture that asks "Have you eaten?" instead of "How are you?", and where asking for seconds can only result in favouritism from the cook or the host of dinner party. Baan is the latest addition to Thitid Tassanakajohn's (better known as Chef Ton) growing portfolio of successful restaurants, which also includes Le Du and Taper. Baan's unfussed name was chosen to reflect the restaurant's concept of family recipes we've grown up with and love, with classic flavours that take us back to our grandparent's dining table. The decor is simple yet comforting -- marble and a monotone colour scheme are persistent throughout the cosy restaurant, with additions of warm tones from wood panels. Lunchtime here offers a quieter and more casual dining experience, whereas dinner time is where Baan revs up the pace with a bustling yet sophisticated ambience.

    Tipple your fancy

    Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 24/07/2015

    » Bangkok's nightlife has always enjoyed an abundance of variety. Whether you prefer sipping an overpriced cocktail on the 60th floor, sampling craft beers with the cool kids or getting trashed with backpackers on the kerbside at a 7-Eleven, this city's got you covered. Recently, though, BKK has stepped it up a notch, with brand new joints that offer a whole lot more than “black and coke” as a house special. This week, Guru takes a look at six of these watering holes and reveals what sets them apart from the rest.

    Stall standing

    Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 05/06/2015

    » Following the heartbreaking news concerning the removal of food stalls on Sukhumvit Soi 38 (Bangkok's foodie paradise), many are distraught, with not a clue as to where our favourite food vendors (whom we love to hit up after a long night of fist-pumping) will relocate. As humongous malls and super-ultra-luxurious condominiums continue to expand and occupy every square metre of the city, it won't be long until we're digging into a B200 som tam on the 60th floor of some lacklustre, air-conditioned, concrete tower.
