Bling for Living


The other day I saw this extravagant KENWOOD stand mixer in TST. I can't help but wonder what happen if some of the glitters/diamonds/whatever dropped into the batter?

At least you shouldn't make raisin cake with this mixer I suppose.

Chef Koji Shimomura Gracing La Scala


Koji Shimomura, chef and owner of 2-Michelin-starred French restaurant Édition Koji Shimomura in Tokyo, is making a guest appearance in La Scala of The Sukhothai Bangkok from March 9 to 12.


Trained at some of the top French restaurants before returning to Tokyo in 2007, Chef Koji combines his Japanese cooking philosophy with French cuisines to create modern and lighter dishes that do not use too much cream and butter. His signature dish Matodai Fritter, made of light and crispy Kadaif coating and served with broccoli cream and lemon jam, perfectly exhibits his creative approach on reviving traditional food.

The Édition Koji Shimomura wine dinner night will be held on March 9, while lunchs and dinners will be served from March 10 to 12. No dish will be listed on the menu, as Chef Koji will handpick the freshest ingredients he can find every day in the market and customize the dishes for each customer.
