Molecular munchies
Life, Vanniya Sriangura, Published on 04/04/2014
» It was 9pm on Wednesday and the sound of pestle pounding in mortar was still vital in the zestful dining room of Sra Bua by Kiin Kiin, a Thai restaurant at the Siam Kempinski Hotel. The meal progressed superbly as my dining companion and I discussed whether the restaurant’s glory was already written in stone.

Worth the sweat
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 04/04/2014
» If you pride yourself on the ability to eat spicy food (which we assume many Thais do), there’s a new place in town where you can put your tongue to the test. Katsu-Tan Ramen, which opened on Mar 3, offers ramen where you can customise spicy levels. But while the chilli options are exciting, the atmosphere offers nothing to get excited about. It’s basically a shophouse with cute pictures of the owner rendered in cartoon form on the white wall. Out front, there’s a display of food replicas and a TV playing Japanese TV shows that have featured Katsu-Tan Ramen. From its location, you can probably guess that the majority of patrons consist of Mathayom students from nearby cram schools, Chula students and white-collar Thais.

Funny queen bee
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 04/04/2014
» Bon Jakobsen is the queen of funny videos on Thai social media. Since 2010, she has operated a YouTube channel called “bononstage” (youtube.com/bononstage), which began with videos to teach foreigners Thai language she posted while living in Norway. However, what has made Bon a true YouTube star are her parodies of different characters from a hi-so to a pretty to an ab baew. Bon has just started a new show called Jaidee TV Daily (fb.com/jaideetvdaily) where she gives amusing analyses of everything topical from politics to showbiz. Keep yourself up to date while being entertained by Bon (she does a really dead-on imitation of caretaker PM Yingluck Shinawatra, BTW) during weekdays at 7pm.

Meet, meat and multi-task
Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 04/04/2014
» For a single fixed address, 661 Silom seems to have a few things on its mind. Gruesomeness of the “Meet and Meat” moniker aside, can it succeed at being a gastro bar and a steakhouse as well as a branded champagne lounge all at the same time? We were sceptical following such branding adventures as The Bar & The Restaurant and more recently (and closer to home) Le Bar by Le Beaulieu (same owners). But 661 Silom aims for a shelf a little higher, if this city is willing to reach that high. (Perhaps ask Ku De Ta?) This reincarnation of jazz bar Niu’s on Silom features enough room for 50 bar flies in the slightly confused split-space downstairs (Meet), which features an outdoor bar area that looks onto the leafy courtyard of the Baan Silom complex. Near the entrance and stairs, the Dom Perignon signature lounge seems doomed to lie eternally empty. Luckily the restaurant (Meat) upstairs is more moody and welcoming. It looks out over the trees and is subtly lit and decorated with cowhides to remind you why you’re there. The purse of the project comes courtesy of the team behind French fine-dining stalwart Le Beaulieu (Top Tables #1 in 2014), but are restaurants still simply about deep pockets and reputation?
