A little wining and a little dining
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 13/09/2019
» Within Thong Lor 13 lies 13 Wine & Dine, aptly named due to the soi it's located in, as well as the fact that it was founded by 13 people who are passionate about food and wine. The dimly lit resto, which gives off seriously romantic vibes, is designed with a touch of subtle elegance in sleek black, almost pulling off a fine dining sort of atmosphere though they don't consider themselves fine dining. The bar on the first floor is beautifully lit and bathed in light while the second floor offers a quieter and private dining area, all while instrumental versions of songs from legendary bands like The Eagles fill the air. Now that the scene is set, onto the food.

What's in a face?
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 30/08/2019
» Hom Nguyen has had quite a journey to be where he's at. Arguably, he would have entered the art scene much earlier if not for life and responsibilities hindering him (adulting is hard, folks). But one pivotal and rather painful event catapulted him into it and the rest is history. Now, after having famous and iconic people as subjects of his tantalising and intriguing portraits, as well as having held exhibitions in many parts of Europe and Asia, the French artist brings his art to the Big Mango at the Galerie Adler with an exhibition titled "Racines", curated by Laurent Macaluso. Guru chatted with Nugyen about his journey, art and exhibition in Bangkok.

Expectations vs Reality
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 06/09/2019
» It's always a challenge to be in a new country because things may be done differently from where you come from. There are a few things you may think are universally accepted only to have your thinking completely blown into smithereens once you're in a new country. It's pretty much the same with living in Thailand.

A few too many heroes
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 26/07/2019
» In a world that's filled with super-serumed worthy captains, broody billionaires in batsuits (either with or sans nipples) and "love you 3000s", it's obvious that it's the golden age of superheroes. Now a normal everyday part of pop culture, these characters and worlds are no longer just the talk of nerds and geeks in the closed enclaves of comic book stores, evidenced by the fact that the highest grossing film of all time is now a superhero film. It's in this superhero-saturated time that the card game Too Many Heroes will be introduced. Ironically, the game deals with a universe wherein there are... well, too many heroes and there are certain effects to society because of their presence. The game's three creators — Carol Blackmon, Sacha P. Nathan and Sunny Sachdev — have worked together to make the game's universe, which is an alternate reality to our own, as detailed as can be. Guru talked to Blackmon, the game's art director and Nathan, the game's writer, about Too Many Heroes.

Choux on the go
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 26/07/2019
» The constant on-the-go society we live in today may cause some of us to miss the finer things in life -- beautiful scenery, great food, wonderful people -- unless we actually set aside some time to drop everything and just fade away from society for a short while. Sadly, that can't be the case for most and we find ourselves being in the thick of it all day in and day out. But that doesn't mean simple joys and delights can't be found even in our hectic schedules. Enter Croquantchou Zakuzaku.

Easy living
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 16/08/2019
» Living in Bangkok has its share of ups and downs. Then again, what city doesn't? We know we complain about living in the city in every issue we publish (we have plenty more) but that doesn't mean there are people who share the same grievances, but unlike us who just whine, have decided to do something about it. Sure, there are plenty of things to be improved upon or done away within Bangkok and we're pretty sure we all can write a long list. But we're sincerely glad to see that there are services like these that make not just living in Bangkok a little easier, but also living a greener, more-eco friendly life in the city more viable. And who's going to refuse a greener and easier lifestyle? Here are a few services to try out.

Simple is the way to go
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 16/08/2019
» In a day and age where gimmicks and twists are no longer uncommon in the culinary world, we find ourselves in an ironic state where we now actively seek out simple yet delicious dishes. I'm not saying evolved dishes aren't any good, but nowadays simple is the way to go. Easy Burger, which you can probably already tell by its name, pretty much sticks to that concept. There's no crazy recipe or ingredients. It's a straight-up classic burger ready for you to enjoy -- and it is enjoyable.

Brunch crunch
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 09/08/2019
» Cozy brunch places never go out of style. After all, who doesn't want a relaxing atmosphere while dining on great food? Although Toby's has been around for about four years, it recently underwent renovations. While the outside facade may be familiar to those who frequent the brunch haven, the inside has been tweaked to give it a minimalistic feel with lots of natural light that, strangely enough, is what you would think of when you think of brunch places. In other words, Toby's gives off brunch feels. There's plenty of Instagrammable spots, a lot of places to either by yourself to enjoy the peace and quiet or with friends for a meal and catch-up. But of course, that's all just one part of the equation.

The Thailand Files
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 02/08/2019
» Everyone loves a good conspiracy. There's something deliciously entertaining about the possibility that something could be true and we could spend hours and hours just reading and watching documentaries about the numerous conspiracies out there. Of course, there are others who are at the far, far end of the spectrum, who believe all conspiracies and consider themselves "truthers". Get stuck in a room or a car with these guys and they'll go on and on about how mobile phones are brainwashing you, the CIA knows your every move and how the Illuminati controls the world. Of course, there are also those simply want to have harmless fun like, you know, the nearly 2 million people, as of the writing of this article, who want to storm a certain top secret US government facility on Sept 20, as well as the lesser popular plan to storm Bangkok's Democracy Monument, which would have passed by the time this is published and will most likely involve less aliens. Nevertheless, don't think for one second that Thailand is spared from conspiracies! We've got a few right here. Remember, as a great TV show once said, "The truth is out there".

Whatever variety you're looking for, there's a good chance that you're going to find it somewhere in Bangkok. Tea Stand 7 has jumped into the tea fray but surprisingly, they're offering stuff that I haven't seen before.
