Guest post: Al Nafoora – Middle Eastern delights on Sukhumvit
I strolled down the far end of Soi 4 better known as Soi Nana in Sukhumvit, far away from the bar girls. I noted a small blue sign, Al Nafoora, leading down a fenced alley. I am a sucker for Lebanese food and was glad to see a nearby option to my hotel. Later that day...
Review: Thip Samai – where Bangkok first tasted Pad Thai
It’s fairly rare for us to plan a specific restaurant when we travel. That’s partially because we’re not always sure what side of town we’ll be on, what will be nearby the hotel, and so on. The places most commonly referenced in magazines and...Guest post: Charley Brown’s Mexican food
Did I really find the Holy Grail of dining at a Mexican restaurant on Soi 11? It is true; Charley Brown’s Mexican Cantina founded in 1992 has both great food and service. A rare combination in Bangkok. Just to make sure I was not imagining things, I dined there twice...Food review: Olive Kebab – wait, there’s good Greek food in Bangkok?
Call this the unplanned review – I had a craving for some Greek food, did a Google search and hopped on the BTS. Opened in 2002, you can also find the tasty stuff in the Central Department Store at Chitlom, Emporium Shopping Complex, and MBK. The Sukhumvit...Foodie review: Iron Fairies – the upscale blacksmith burger restaurant, reincarnated (Thong Lor)
Thong Lo is quickly becoming Bangkok’s hottest place to eat, drink, see, and be seen. While it takes a kilometer of walking (or a 20 baht quick zip motorbike ride) to get to the start of the fun, you have some imaginative stuff breaking out starting around soi...
Destination: Sansawon alcohol museum (Pocheon city, Gyeonggi-do)
CISK note: yes, there is snow in them hills. I’m trying to get around to some older posts started before leaving Korea, which explains the slight difference in the weather. Enjoy 🙂 Every so often, I learn about a place that sounds unusual enough to visit –...5 places to check out along mid-Sukhumvit
Just like the Upper side, the middle part of Sukhumvit (from soi 23-63 on the odd side and 16-42 on the even side) has plenty to see and do. There’s plenty more around, naturally, but the next time you’re around Asok, Phrom Phong, Thong Lo, or Ekkamai BTS...Food review: Sunrise Tacos (central Bangkok)
Again, I am far from a food blogger – I just love to eat. Which is why most of the restaurants that actually have good food are typically too pretentious and a mistake not worth repeating. Thanks for the offer, but I’ll unfold my own damn napkin and pour...PARTY: Angel City Diner’s burger-attacking, rockabilly-playing, swing-dancing night out!
This post is going to make at least a few people jealous – either because you’re in another city / country, or because you hadn’t heard about this event beforehand. So there’s a story here, I’m sure… It’s something that went...
