  Bold as Brasserie 9

  Special Publications, Published on 26/01/2018

  » Brasserie 9 at Asiatique the Waterfront proved a brasserie too far for the cosmopolitan crew targeted with its classic French cuisine. As picturesque as the setting is, spending hours burning benzene to get there was more than many could stomach, even given the world class cookery, and the passing trade of local and international bargain-browsers couldn’t compensate.

  High hopes

  » If Jim Thompson were alive today, Gerald Mazzalovo -- the Thai silk company's chief executive officer -- would want to ask him questions about his multifarious life. Not only did the late designer and founder of the Jim Thompson brand live through a tumultuous political era -- alternately as architect, spy, collector of antiques -- but he maintained relationships with local revolutionaries, European and American socialites and A-list celebrities, from Ho Chi Minh to Truman Capote.

  The whiff of sophistication

  Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 26/01/2018

  » Jewellery has never been about function, but with Sarran's latest collection of flower-centric necklaces, earrings and bracelets, there is an interchangeable function that was never there before: customers can now customise the fragrance each piece will give off. The eponymous designer, Sarran Youkongdee, brings his brand to new ground this season -- something his collection clearly embodies with its name "Ja-rern", which means prosper or progress in Thai.

  Make time for an afternoon affair

  » As much Instagram-ridden as it is culinary blessed, the Bangkok dining scene has never been crazier about afternoon tea affairs than now.

  Plant-based meal plans

  Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 26/01/2018

  » Following through with a diet plan can be an arduous task. You are what you eat after all, so maintaining a healthy lifestyle by being selective with your food choices could prove difficult for most people (including me). Pranaa Food For Life, a new food delivery service whose menu is based entirely around plants, could be the answer for a quick eat without the hassle of cooking healthy meals yourself. Having launched two months ago, Pranaa's vast selection of dishes are based on a plant-based whole food diet that's suitable for vegans. Therefore, their ingredients include vegetables, fruits, grains, legumes, herbs and spices, and are devoid of meat, dairy and eggs. All cooking oils are also excluded. Brown rice and bread are used whenever possible (sensibly). The service aims to help people lead longer and healthier lives. Colour us healthy then.

  Plant purvoyer

  Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 26/01/2018

  » Kachain "Kyng" Bodinittidej is a commercial producer who's behind many TV ads and a collector of rare and exotic plants. The 40-year-old adman also created a special fanzine titled "Mr. Brown", which features key figures in the first edition of Made By Legacy flea market and Thai vintage scene. The upcoming ninth edition of Made By Legacy, which takes place until Sunday at Pepsi Pier (go to our Activities page for more info), comes with a green twist. On top of vintage items and food, you'll be able to see and buy exotic plants, thanks to Kyng who curates and selects many plant and gardening shops, as well as plant collectors to showcase their green treasures. Not only it will serve as background for photo ops but also sources of awe, inspiration and appreciation for our green friends.
