Pure soul, glorious nostalgia
Life, Pimchanok Phungbun Na Ayudhya, Published on 20/08/2015
» A couple of decades can pass in the blink of an eye when you realise the hits you've been religiously listening to on your Walkman are already 20-years-old. Boyz II Men were a staple on my cassette player. These days, I can still spontaneously sing along when I'll Make Love To You, On Bended Knees, End Of The Road and my personal favourite, 4 Seasons Of Loneliness, come up. And finally, my favourite R&B group of all time was staging their first live performance in town. It was just… not to be missed."Boyz II Men Live In Bangkok" on Sunday night at BITEC was a reunion of 90s kids who grew up bumpin' 'n' grindin' to old-school R&B. The performance took off right on time with opening acts by home-grown talents Apiwat "Nueng" Pongwat of Etc, Sarocha "Suay" Senarat and Weerasak "Gope" Klueakan from The Voice and Thanasit "Ton" Chaturapush from Academy Fantasia who put a soul spin on the start of proceedings. Weerasak did an amazing job by hitting every note of Sam Smith's Lay Me Down. In a shocking surprise, the screens abruptly showed Rangsan Panyaruan, aka Songkran The Voice, when the audience expected to see the R&B legends right after the warm-up. The moodkiller was just played unforgivably at the wrong time.

Sweet spot
Muse, Pimchanok Phungbun Na Ayudhya, Published on 19/03/2016
» For Chiang Mai residents, Wanlamun has long been synonymous with traditional Thai desserts. Even though the popularity of traditional Thai treats is fading, Kanchana Ubolsootvanich still preserves her family-cherished recipes along with uncompromising ingredients and the painstaking cooking process. With the three-month-old expansion of Wanlamun in Bangkok, the sweet maker is catering its time-honoured treats to satisfy those with sweet teeth in the capital. All bearing the culinary hallmark of Shell Chuan Chim, Wanlamun’s khanom chan (layered soft jelly cake), khanom niew (glutinous rice dumplings served with sugar palm syrup and crisped rice), khanom thua pab (sweet mung bean dumplings with grated coconut) and khanom sai sai (sweet coconut-cream soufflé with fragrant coconut filling in banana-leaf wrapping) are the must-tries.
