Snitching on schnitzel's
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 02/12/2016
» <b>The setting:</b> Alright, alright, we know what you were thinking when you saw the name. But no, this most definitely is not a German restaurant. And yes, although they do serve up pork schnitzel and sauerkraut, other delicacies like pork knuckle and stollen cakes are not on the menu. Located at the quiet end of Soi 38, this dainty and unassuming restaurant could have been mistaken for a small coffee shop. Step inside and the rustic décor -- with bare brick walls, a vintage collection of bric-a-bracs and collectibles from the owner's previous residence in the USA make up a warm, casual and inviting diner perfect for those days when you have a hankering for American-style comfort food.

Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 05/02/2016
» After noticing a huge pool of culinary talent hidden in Bangkok's home kitchens — and a growing demand for authentic meals — Samuel Coizet and Pakki Sampataphakdee co-founded Kinkao (www.kinkao.co), an online platform that allows home chefs to cook and sell home-made meals to the people in their neighbourhoods. From Vietnamese to Mexican to Southern Thai, you can find nearly every type of cuisine on the website. We spoke with the founders about their endeavour.

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.

Bangkok food fight
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 08/05/2015
» As with the sweltering -- and constantly rising -- temperatures, Bangkok's culinary scene continues to expand (in direct proportion to the size of our bellies). You've seen the queues at snack shops currently on everyone's must eat" list. With so many of them around, it's a surprise we ever get anything done. But starve not dear readers, Guru has scoured the city to put some of the most raved about food items to the test.

Vends with benefits
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 24/04/2015
» Sure, the multibillion-baht shopping malls blasting air-con at -2°C may keep the citizens of Bangkok occupied for a while. But like every fad that passes through the city, we all know that it’s not long before the queues disperse and we’re back at our usual som tam spot, ready for more uncontrollable sweating and potential food poisoning. Street stalls and vendors are inarguably the heart and soul of Bangkok -- frankly, we can’t imagine living here without them. This is Guru’s guide to the different types of vendors every Bangkokian needs to survive in the city.

Absolutely dough-licious
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 10/04/2015
» With a successful first branch under their collective belt, owners Massimo Ducci and Lucio Sbriziolo have taken a brave step forward by choosing Silom as the location for their second home of Pala Pizza Romana. A good move, we think, as the aroma of freshly baked dough seems to beckon a constant herd of hungry office workers through the doors. The setting and decor are simple and unfussed, but to say that it's decked out like a fast food joint doesn't quite do the place justice. Dashes of green, orange and white spark up the atmosphere, giving it a modern look that not only embraces the pair's passion for sourcing fresh ingredients, but also their firm belief that good food needn't be complicated. With a balanced mix of expats and locals, the restaurant is packed during lunch and dinner hours, seven days a week.

(A)ppealing (B)runch and (C)offee
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 27/03/2015
» Tucked away on the third floor of the newly opened 9:53 community mall in Thong Lor, this two-month-old all-day eatery offers more than the usual eggy brunch dishes. ABC Essence in Eatery is a brave black sheep grazing on a hill predominantly filled with Japanese restaurants, which should be a delight for the area's residents, who must be tired of having sushi first thing on a Sunday morning. With a clean-cut, white-walled interior, spanking new marble floors and Scandinavian furniture, it manages to pull off the "modern" look that seldom fails to please diners' eyes. You can expect to find Japanese housewives enjoying a lazy lunch, urbanites digging into healthy salads and serious coffee fans grabbing their caffeinated beverages. Although there's limited parking, a valet service is available — so there's no need for Thonglorites to swap their stilettos for Havaianas or worry about braving the sweltering heat.
