Simple sophistications
Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 05/09/2014
» Time to eat? After the big successes of Supanniga Eating Room, a follow-up venue was always going to attract a lot of interest. The policy is the same — "the best ingredients we can find from the places we like, cooked the way we like," says co-owner Tatchai Nakapan. While Thong Lor almost sells itself as a dining destination, the big new variable in play at EAT is the mall location, putting the traditional flavours in a challenging new context. It's positioned upstairs at Groove in an irregular-shaped room, which affords it good vantage of the open kitchen as well as natural light from above (something that's missing at other Groove venues). Its modest dimensions mean that much of the prep work (sauces, etc) is still done in Thong Lor, but the cooking is now on show — a luring new element. There's space enough for 40 diners inside, while another 15 can fit out the front where the mall makes more of an impact and the seats are less comfy. Plenty of worker bees from nearby offices were present on the early evening we visited, as well as important-looking Thais and curious tourists from nearby hotels.

Bar for Bar

Charm of the Siam
Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 21/09/2012
» The audacity! Opening a hotel with such a grand name as The Siam seems awfully ambitious, we thought. It reminds us of the 80s band Europe, the group named for a continent that delivered a lot less than their title promised. Why didn't they just call the hotel "The Bomb" and be done with it?

25 Degrees of taste
Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 17/08/2012

Menage a Trois
Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 03/02/2012
» They say that good things come in threes; whoever they are. In the case of Triplets Brasserie, it's the three minds behind the no-fuss, "global cuisine" eatery on a back lot of Lang Suan. It's in a happy household, hence the "menage". So expect French culinary delights rather than any other you dirty minds.
