The Italian affair
Guru, Nianne-Lynn Hendricks, Published on 27/04/2018
» Sukhumvit 31 is a long soi and we often tend to forget the little cut off street leading to Soi 23. Calderazzo On 31 is on this forgotten street. Having recently moved from Langsuan to 31, Calderazzo is Italian with a difference. It has a rather bistro-like feel to it, with plenty of tables for private or romantic dinners. There is also a patio for those who enjoy the occasional breeze Mother Nature allows Bangkok.

"The more problems I have, the more butterflies in the stomach and the bigger the adrenalin rush thinking about solutions and creating products," she says. "If there is a problem, there is a product.

The sunny side
Guru, Nianne-Lynn Hendricks, Published on 30/03/2018
» Sandwiched between a craft beer bar and hostel, and a closed shophouse almost on the corner of Ekamai 12, Broken Eggs has a sunny disposition. Its small porch has tables for those who like to light up and big French windows gives you a glimpse of the inside, a casual wood and steel setting, comprising a mix of high tables and normal tables and seating at the big bar. A street vendor's food cart parked in the front is what chef Jacobo Astray Tudela uses when Broken Eggs serves up tapas at the various food events around town, and is a homage to its days at W District, where it all began.
