Raising the (rooftop’s) bar
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 02/05/2014
» A good rooftop place is worth getting your ears popped in an elevator, climbing some additional stairs, risking your fresh-from-salon hairdo and getting over your fear of heights for. The Roof is a recent entry into the dining scene and proves to be quite a contender with its high altitude and attitude. The venue offers a modern and stylish vibe with music that isn’t intrusive. The view from the venue is very generous and almost unspoiled (except for one corner where a nearby condo stands too close) and the seats are arranged in a way that almost everyone gets a front-row view. Lovers can enjoy some eye-locking and snuggling in high-back couches while friends can lounge about at dining booths. The weekday crowd consists of international hotel guests and office workers looking to unwind while the weekend sees friends and lovers.

Med spread at Moko
Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 07/05/2014
» Located in one of the burgeoning leafy sois of mid-Sathon, Moko Coffee & Eatery is a recent addition to the daytime dining scene of the city. It’s located just round the corner from some fair competition in Rocket, the Swedish-tinged brunch juggernaut. But at Moko the trajectory is of a different Euro-flavour, with an unashamed Mediterranean bent, executed with panache and poise. Modelled on (multi) shophouse proportions, the interior is an airy open-plan room of blacks and whites with plenty of natural light and an easy ambience to welcome you in off the street. The soft jazz sets the tone right, and you can almost feel the heat and bustle outside slipping away as you dip your croissant in your coffee. The crowd is a mix of Europeans trying to feel closer to home and well-heeled local residents that know their latte from their larb.

A visual guide to the rainy season
Guru, Sumati Sivasiamphai, Published on 09/05/2014
» Besides food, talking about the weather is probably one of the favourite topics of Bangkokians. And now that the harsh sun is being pushed out of the way to make room for rain clouds, everyone’s becoming a self-proclaimed meteorologist these days. Well, we hate to be left out of the conversation (even if it’s about something as boring as the climate) so here’s our visual guide on what to expect throughout the rainy season. And yes, that means sometimes you will find yourself standing in a downpour with only a soggy soi dog to keep you company.

Book launch
Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 09/05/2014
» MARKET: There will be another Noise Market over the weekend (May 10-11). Slightly strange timing since it has started raining, but the show will go on. They’re promising an “Indie Craft Fair, Art, DIY, Workshop, Street Music Festival”, and there will be this and plenty more, judging from the last one which went down well. There are 40 bands on the line up to lay the soundtrack over the market, which has 40 official sellers. Venue is Museum Siam (4 Sanam Chai Road, fb.com/museumsiamfan), with a start time of 2pm. Free entry.

Dim sum fun
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 09/05/2014
» THE SET-UP: Sure, you can get your dumplings or salapao from 7-Eleven or a mobile vendor uncle, but their offerings are mainly for sustenance only. Luckily enough, we Bangkokians have many options to take the dim sum experience to a savoury level with the all-you-can-eat options from the hotel restaurants out there. Chyna is one such place and, as suggested by its name, it tries to put new spins on Chinese dishes. Behind the tall windows of Chyna lies a spacious and airy main dining area. There are two private rooms that can be merged once the partition is retracted, in case your clan wants to organise an annual gathering (so everyone remembers where they are in the complicated family tree). The outdoor area overlooks a nearby temple and the city beyond in case you want a view. The regular patrons during weekdays are businesspeople while friends and families come in the evenings and on weekends. Chinese and French hotel guests staying at Centra Central Station also stop by.

Hot dog!
Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 09/05/2014
» THE SET-UP: With the pizza and burger scene of the city a little saturated, perhaps it was only a matter of time that the hot dog race began in earnest. After success at Nana BTS station, Superdog has opened a dine-in location in Thong Lor to up the dog stakes just round the corner from rival Bangers. The cosy space has enough room for about 12 diners, who probably won’t hang around too long to notice the gaudy decor and direct lighting. (It ain’t called fast food for nothing). But the visitors are probably there for one thing. The hand-made dogs come courtesy of James, a Californian who spent enough time in New York to develop a serious affinity with the dog. Spend 10 minutes with the guy and you’ll soon know he is serious about his product.
