A botanical retreat
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 03/07/2015
» Opened five months ago on the leafy Sarasin Road, Indicus Bistro fittingly derives its name from a species of plant. The interior of the three-storey restaurant is going for a vintage "lived-in" look that reminds us of a lake house. When narrow restaurants expand vertically, you sometimes get a first floor that's a design wonderland and upper floors that resemble an unfinished school art project. But each of this cosy bistro's three floors has its own charm and purpose. Sit on the ground level and you'll be close to the dessert counter — not to mention the comfy and photogenic turquoise sofa and the plethora of intricate decorations worthy of your admiration. But if you want to dwell a bit longer in exclusivity, the upper floors are the place to be. On the subtly botanical-themed second floor is a large wooden dining table that overlooks Sarasin Road and Lumpini Park. Head up another floor for the ultimate chill-out spot, decked out with homey furniture, a gorgeous bar and balcony seating.

Wear it with pride
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 10/07/2015
» For the past two weeks, you've probably had a very colourful experience on your Facebook newsfeed, if not on your own profile picture. But let's be honest — at some point you've probably asked yourself how you can go back to your normal profile without looking like you don't support the cause.

Shoe stories
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 10/07/2015
» It’s embarrassing to get caught staring at someone, but we sometimes can’t resist. We just love to look at strangers and guess what type of person they are. To make things a bit less risky, here’s a tip for the judgemental among us. There are several easily identifiable Bangkok stereotypes. All we have to do is look at feet. Here are eight shoe-based personality types.

Aloha and konnichiwa, Bangkok
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 31/07/2015
» Sushi bars, ramen shops and teppanyaki grills aren't the only types of restaurants popular in Japan. If you've visited the country, especially Tokyo, within the last few years, you should have noticed the boom of Hawaiian influence on everything from fashion and art to, of course, food. Mokuola Hawaii is one franchise of Japanese-Hawaiian-themed diners that has been brought from the streets of Tokyo to, well, the malls of Bangkok. The Siam Paragon branch is distinctive from its Mercury Ville and EmQuartier sisters for its brighter and more laid-back atmosphere. The point of diners has never been to impress with glamorous settings and high prices — rather, they serve to provide locals with a place to regularly visit. We feel that Mokuola Hawaii has that quality. Located in the middle of the mall's Food Passage, the diner is a part of the open, well-lit environment. Compared to the other restaurants in the same area, Mokuola gives off the most relaxing vibe, with its tropical plants, magazines and yellow-cushioned seats inviting patrons to unwind.

Easy streets
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 31/07/2015
» Publications are always so keen on naming the top-whatever cities to live in or visit. We don't normally bother with such trivial and arbitrary lists, but we're tired of these articles completely overlooking the benefits of Bangkok. When talking about our fair city, people often (and unfairly) think of only two things -- traffic and the blasphemous industry of which we don't speak because we're a Buddhist country so we pretend it doesn't exist. That has to end. This week, we give you 10 reasons why living in Bangkok should be everyone's dream.

The charms of Asean
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 28/08/2015
» Charm (previously Charme de L’asie) may be among many fancy family restaurants inside EmQuartier’s Helix building, but the restaurant has a legitimate excuse to demand your attention. Although Bangkok is pretty much smack-dab in the middle of Southeast Asia, we seem so infatuated with cuisines from afar that there are barely any restaurants celebrating the culinary cultures close to us. Charm is one of the few places in town to bring Southeast Asian flare to the table in a comprehensive and authentic manner.

Get your fix at Jones the Grocer
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 24/09/2015
» Minimal enclosure of Jones the Grocer, located on EmQuartier's ground floor, further opens the space of an already sizable food shop. There is no real entrance, but instead an absence of barriers, particularly where food is sold, to tempt you into stepping in for a look at cold cuts and condiments. Once you get past the shelves stocked with your pantry's wishlist, you can decide to sit for a meal at one of the tables near the delicatessen you've just admired or further back, near the glass walls closer to the outside environment -- which isn't much, but it is pleasantly lit during the day. If you find more comfort in urban cafe arrangements, there are also communal high tables with stools near the counter where chefs prep, and another grocery area dedicated to wines.

I'm '60s and I know it
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 24/09/2015
» If you've had time to hit theatres in the past month, you've hopefully gone to see the Amy Winehouse documentary. While it's a heartbreaking film about her addictions and subsequent downfall, the honest look into Winehouse's short life also lets us remember, in good spirit, her remarkable contributions to pop culture.

Third cup's the charm
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 23/10/2015
» Away from all the brunch buzz on Sukhumvit, Not Just Another Cup is a new spot encouraging Sathon locals to enjoy their midday meal a bit more than usual. It's the third eatery from the owner of Buttercup and Tiny Cup, but it's out to prove that it's not just a recycled concept of its older siblings.

Where (Teddy) bears roam
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 20/11/2015
» Located well away from the metropolis along Ratchaphruek Road, Villa de Bear is an expansive seven-rai establishment with its own bedtime back story: Villy, the restaurant's armless black bear mascot, inherited his uncle's Teddy bear factory but was apparently more passionate about spreading joy with food than toys. He turned the factory into a food village, honouring the venue's history by designing thread-, button- and gear-themed dining halls.
