    Where there's smoke...

    Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 29/01/2016

    » If you need proof as to why Bangkok is just as deserving of the "foodie capital" title as Hong Kong and Singapore, pay Il Fumo at visit. Powerhouse trio Choti Leenutaphong, Debby Tang and chef Luca Appino, responsible for Bottega's nostalgic comfort and exceeding our cocktail expectations at Vesper, are now making us swoon over charcoal-grilled and dry-aged beef. The restaurant has chosen to keep the original facade of a beautiful house dating back to the 1950s, in which descendants of King Rama IV resided. The interior, however, is all about subdued colours, and minimalistic, contemporary decor. Fitting, we thought, with the rather purist approach to cuisine, which is heavily focused on ingredients and cutting-edge techniques. There is a separate bar area, dimly lit, well-stocked and decked out in dark wood, reminiscent of treasured locales the likes of Bar Hemingway at The Ritz Paris and Dry Martini Bar in Barcelona.

    Concrete jungle

    Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 05/09/2014

    » Living in Bangkok is like eating a durian — you either love it or hate it, but it's usually smelly. There are those who are Bangkok-born and bred and those who have travelled thousands of miles to live in the so-called City of Angels (or #CityofSelfies, which seems more appropriate nowadays). Don't be fooled by the beautiful temples and overpopulation of 7-Elevens, as living here is not easy and it takes a lot more than an ability to eat spicy food and knowing the BTS map by heart to be called a Bangkokian. Here are some tell-tale signs that you have what it takes to survive the city.
