Prai Raya isn’t really fine dining, but certainly a pleasant spot with well presented food in a cosy terrace environment in Sukhumvit Soi 8.

You can use your name in a good way, or you can throw it away. Singaporean Hawker Chan received a Michelin Star for his soya sauce chicken in Singapore.

I have been to a couple of the 7 Somboon Seafood branches in Bangkok, but I wasn’t aware of Somboon Pochana in Sukhumvit Soi 20, with a very similar menu to the more famous chain. I got suspicious as the Somboon name is known to be used by fake restos in Bangkok in order to take [Read more]

Sometimes unbelievable is a perfect word. I know, it’s used to much. But honestly, it’s a proper expression for Paris Mikki close to Asok station. The only word you need to add is good. Their croissant and cakes are just unbelievable good stuff. Carol Boosaba is the name behind the [Read more]
