Tenkaichi Nagiya, Thonglor Soi 13 – Bangkok

Saturday, September 24th, 2011

Tenkaichi Nagiya Yakatori on Thonglor Soi 13 in heart of Japanese Town has just recently opened and is very cozy and exudes a warm, welcoming feeling. The wait-staff is informed and the cooking is good. They also offer a varied  selection of Sake by the bottle and small bottles. Shochu is offered by glass and bottle. Their first outlet is located at Nihonmachi behind K-Village.

Wine Me Up at Seen Space Mall – Bangkok

Friday, September 23rd, 2011

Wine Me Up at Seenspace Mall

Wine Me Up
3/F, Seenspace, 251/1 Thong Lor,
Soi 13, Bangkok
Seenspace Mall has dangerously low and rickety glass paneled railings on the outside stairways. Please take the lift. Someone will eventually be badly hurt or killed if they lean against, or are accidentally pushed into these thin glass-paneled, precarious railings. Once inside Wine Me Up on the third floor, you are greeted by the loud reverberations from a terrible band backing up an off-key vocalist, if this is not bad enough, the scene is completed by a selection of three wines by the glass which, when sampled were all undrinkable, and when I asked the barman if I might have a Scotch whisky instead, he said there was NO Scotch whisky in the bar. Hard to believe! When I asked for the manager to complain, the staff said that she had left. Give this place a pass.

Fat Gut’z, Thonglor – Bangkok

Wednesday, September 21st, 2011

Fat Gut’z Saloon
1/F, Grass Thonglor, 264 Thong Lor 12,
Tel. 02-714-9832
Bangkok, 10110

Fat Gut’z on trendy Soi Thonglor in Bangkok, has overall, some very good talent performing on its small stage tucked under a stairwell at this usually standing-room only jazz club. On Tuesday nights, they feature a particularly good singer called (Khun) Fon, who as they say, can really, “Belt Them Out”. She is backed up by a couple of first-rate electric-guitarists and one percussionist. Fat Gut’z occupies one of the front spaces in a development called Grass, which goes so far as to try to authenticate its name by gluing imitation, plastic grass to the walls and various other empty areas where it could possibly do so within the confines of the property. If you think this sounds tacky? You would be right. It is!

Le Petit Zinc Restaurant – Bangkok

Tuesday, September 20th, 2011

New French Restaurant

Le Petit Zinc
French Bistrot
110/1 Sukhumvit Rd., Soi 23
Bangkok, 10110 Thailand
Tel. 02 259 30 33
website: www.le-petit-zinc.com
email: contact@le-petit-zinc.com

Le Petit Zinc is not a new name around Paris, and now it is going to try to make a name in Bangkok. This new, reasonably priced, bistro off of Sukhumvi Soi 23 offered quite good food on a recent lunch, and the experience came off well, considering the owners are new in the business; or shall I say, I was more pleased than displeased. Most definitely, there will be more information to come as I will return.

Wine Republic, Thonglor Soi 10 (Updated) – Bangkok

Sunday, September 18th, 2011

Sign Wine RepublicWine Republic’s outdoor terrace

Wine Republic is an interesting place to have a glass of wine or two however, the food is so-so and I would suggest it is better to go elsewhere to dine. They do not have a proper wine list, and customers must go to a display shelf and pick out their own wine, which frankly is a pain, although granted they do have sommeliers to help you make your choice. Bottle pricing is alright, but the only two choices for wine by the glass are a glass of red or white plonk.

UPDATE: I have revisited Wine Republic since the piece above was written and unfortunately, the following is the result:

Usually, I like to keep this blog as positive as I can, although I just can’t overlook blatant inefficiency. Yes, it is true that they now have 8 wines by the glass (6 in a preserving machine and 2 house wines) but how can they put a bottle of wine on the machine without noticing the color, or smelling it to find out if it is “off” or not. I wanted to order a Sauvignon Blanc that they had on offer by the glass, but it was out of stock. I then chose a Chardonnay which when delivered I noticed immediately, even in the low-lighting, that the color was darker than it should be, and one sniff was all it took to find it totally undrinkable. How can the staff in charge of this operation, not inspect the bottle before putting it onto the machine. A preserving machine can only preserve what is put onto it! But even worse, after it was pointed out to the female manager on duty that the bottle was bad she still allowed it to remain on the machine, most likely so that some other sucker who knew less about wines would then innocently drink it. I am certain that this is not the policy of the restaurant, but just the gross inefficiency and deviousness of this particular manager and/or her staff.

Wine Republic 1Wines by the bottle selections are numerous from the shelves above, although by the glass they only have one ordinary white, and one ordinary red. This very limited selection may have been alright thirty years ago, but in 2011!

The Eden Club Bangkok – Last of the Eden Club? Or A New Revival? – Bangkok

Saturday, September 10th, 2011

Eden Club 2The Eden Club “In The Good Old Days, or Maybe Even Now – It Remains To Be Revealed” (image credit: stickman.com)

Eden Club
A FRENCH BROTHEL IN BANGKOK

Sukhumvit Soi 7/1
(between Soi 7 and Soi 9, Just under the Nana BTS station.)
Klongtoey, Bangkok 10110
Opening Hours: 12:30pm – midnight

This website has had many searches for information on the Eden Club over the years. There were so many long drawn-out tales on the internet, enough to fill a book, that we did not write about it, until now; when I have heard that it is going through difficult problems, and for this I am truly sorry both to Marc and his partner who recently passed away. This succinct version follows and there will be updates as required.

What to Expect and the Rules – Here is how the Eden Club Works:
The time limit per session is roughly 90 minutes (a gentleman must take two ladies at a time minimum). It is better to choose the first lady yourself and let her pick her partner. All girls present show up and stand on the opposite side of the bar for your perusal. To get right to the point, Girls standing on the right side of the yellow line on the wall do normal sex, and those on the left will do most anything. The Eden club closes at midnight to avoid dealing with drunken men falling out of the discos, unable to appreciate the finer points of the services Eden Club offers.
If you are not satisfied you do not have to pay. “The Ladies” that you chose, escort you to a room upstairs where you will spend an hour and a half or more depending on your stamina, being scrubbed down, bedded down and waited on hand and foot by two ladies with a large briefcase full of sex tools.

I have heard rumbles, that the Eden Club is under new management, due to the illness of the owner Marc, and is not up to its past speed. We have all heard, that the short-lived Pattaya branch has been shut down and consequentially closed due to the death of Marc’s partner, while I might add, Marc had to leave his hospital bed before having heart surgery the following day, to find the partner deceased in his bed. All of this remains to be verified by reliable sources, and I will report back as soon as I hear anything, and I have my ear to the ground, regarding any updates.
