Teriyaki treats
Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 23/05/2014
» In another good sign for the city’s maturing palate, regional variations are starting to grip. Japan is fiercely regional, after all, so to lump the bulky and noodle-lined okonomiyaki from Hiroshima with its Osakan or Okinawan counterparts, for example, would be a culinary crime. The latest instalment to widen our Japanese knowledge is Teriyaki Bar Kelly’s, a curious resto perched on a slightly mysterious empty block in the convenient pre-Thong Lor area. It feels like Beat Takeshi has walked into Bob’s Country Bunker in this competitor to the retro-rustic Imoya izakaya fave. Eclectic music selections and mis-matched light fittings complete the kooky urban barnyard mise-en-scene. Luckily it ducks the tired Sushi bar trend that has saturated Thong Lor, instead opting for a hybrid style of service with a distinct Nagoya bent. This is the second strong Nagoya representation of late following the cosy Hanakaruta sake den in Sukhumvit Soi 39. Most nighttime visitors to the soi don’t get much further than WTF or Opposite, but venture a little further in to find Kelly’s on the right. It seems that housewives take the early shift and salarymen later, true to cultural form. Inside, the timber and mish-mashed light fittings add to the charm and cosiness with space for around 35 diners.

Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 23/05/2014
» Between work, hitting the gym, checking Facebook, taking selfies, visiting malls and countless other activities in the life of a Bangkokian, you may be simply too busy (or exhausted) to make an effort to eat healthily. Also, who cooks these days anyway, right? If you find yourself in this situation, it might be worth your while to look into deliverers of healthy meal plans as the number of them seems to be on the rise.

Smackers with spirit
Muse, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 23/05/2014
» Bold lips are not just a make-up trend. Like smokey eyes, heavy definition of a particular feature is a look that never goes out of style. It is also a very easy look to carry — and applying bright lipstick is definitely easier than creating smokey eyes.

Sew what?
Muse, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 23/05/2014
» The little lady dressed in an androgynous total look of denim and minimal make-up, who happens to be the designer and founder of new fashion label Commit a Sin, has to get a few seconds of shut-eye every so often during the interview to recollect her train of thought. It can only be expected, as Pattamon “Jan” Taechanarong has been up until 5am preparing and getting the last things in place for her upcoming fashion show. Yet, she hardly minds the physical and mental strain that comes with the workload of her new business.

Now that’s some wicked Wagyu
Life, Vanniya Sriangura, Published on 23/05/2014
» ‘We have to keep the beef for last,” said my dining companion, who, a few hours earlier, was a beef-shunner. He had been avoiding beef for religious reasons for more than 10 years. Yet it was him, at our table of four, who pointed at the platters laid out in front of us and blithely said, “Once you eat this beef, everything else just tastes substandard.”

Red Sky at night, diner's delight
Life, Vanniya Sriangura, Published on 23/05/2014
» Despite the recent heatwave, when we arrived at Red Sky of Centara Grand & Bangkok Convention Center at CentralWorld, the 6pm weather on the 55th floor rooftop was a lot cooler than what I had imagined. The al fresco restaurant-cum-bar, which is one of the city’s most popular sky-high dining venues, quickly became packed with international guests as the temperature gradually dropped to an amazingly comforting level.
