» If you're still thinking about Sensation last weekend, get over it. Bangkok residents can brew a decent party too. Here are a few examples of some home-grown fun to be had; for your ears, eyes or otherwise.

Sense and Sensi-bility
Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 14/02/2014
» THE SET-UP: Engaging all the senses and sensibilities of the Bangkok dining scene is newcomer Sensi down in Sathon. It’s a house conversion on a sleepy soi of Narathiwat — an area with plenty of potential midway between Sathon and Asok. At the helm in the kitchen is 28-year-old Chef Christian Martena, poached from Italian stalwart Opus down in Silom (which also produced Chef Francesco from Medici at Hotel Muse) by his savvy business partners. His wife Clara is doing front of house, which creates a particularly homey feel, with a visit akin to an evening with the couple at their own home. They are willing hosts and it shows. Inside the house are well-spaced tables, enough for 54 pax, which might not be enough if its popularity continues to rise.

Comfort canteen
Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 27/06/2014
» Almost every inner Bangkok hood has an Italian restaurant by now. Good for you if you live in Narathiwat/Sathon (Sensi/Il Bolognese) or mid-Sukhumvit (Appia/Bella Napoli). But there are still some holes to fill and La Cantina was targeted at doing just that south of Asok on Sukhumvit Soi 16. It’s a curious soi, with plenty of local office worker traffic during the day and a trickle of punters at night, but just enough to keep La Cantina afloat from both services it seems. The modest cafe-style shophouse is courtesy of local expat Luca from Piemont, Italy. He has opened in a tough climate, as have many others. Inside is a homely spread of casual dining for around 35 pax with some very recognisable Italian emblems on show. It’s fuss-free and won’t woo a first date, but mightn’t have you recognised by any social media scourers either.
