  • Khao Khai Brings Authentic Thai Street Cuisine to BGC

    Khao Khai “Thai Chicken House”, the Thai diner concept known for its authentic Northern Thai cuisine, has opened its seventh branch in Bonifacio Global City (BGC). Despite the challenges brought by the pandemic, Khao Khai has continued to grow, thanks to its unique offerings and warm reception from the local dining crowd.

    Khao Khai BGC 8

    Owned and operated by Making Fine Group, the same F&B group behind Tiger Sugar, Gram Cafe & Pancakes, and Chunky Boss, Khao Khai brings to the table some of the least known flavors of Thailand from Chiang Mai and Isan – one that goes beyond the usual Pad Thai or Green Chicken Curry.

    Khao Khai BGC 1
    Seafood Khao Soi, Pork Khao Soi, and Chicken Khao Soi

    Diners coming to Khao Khai will not find the usual Thai staples on the menu. Instead of Pad Thai, Bagoong Rice, or Tom Yum, they will find Phat Mama, or ramen noodles stir dry; Seafood Khao Soi, a classic and aromatic Northern Thai soup with coconut curry broth, fried egg noodles, shrimps, and squid; Red Beef Curry, which are beef sirloin strips cooked in garlic and red paste with a hint of lime and aromatic Thai lemon grass; and Yaowaraj Fried Rice, or Thai-style chicken fried rice.

    Khao Khai BGC 2
    Signature Gai Tod Fried Chicken

    At the heart of Khao Khai’s menu is its selection of fried and grilled chicken. Their signature Gai Tod fried chicken is carefully battered to achieve the perfect outside crisp and a surprisingly flavorful and juicy meat. Meanwhile, Gai Yang, a grilled chicken dish, popular street food in Isan, marinated for nearly half a day before grilling, giving it a delicious smoky flavor.

    Khao Khai BGC 4
    Gai Yang 

    Sauces are fundamental to Thai cuisine, and Khao Khai takes this seriously. Many of their sauces are made from scratch, including the Nam Jim Jaew (fish sauce with herbs and spices, prepared at least 8 hours before service) and Nam Jim Kai (homemade sweet chili sauce), which pair perfectly with their grilled and fried chicken dishes.

    A roll of sides and salad will further parade across the table as diners enjoy many of Khao Khai’s delicacies, including Som Tam and egg salad sauce – allowing guests to appreciate the unique flavors in these parts of Thailand. From Som Tam Platter (hand-cut papaya salad) in the vegetable selection to Mango Sticky Rice as an ending to a great meal. 

    Khao Khai BGC 9

    Aside from their mouthwatering dishes, Khao Khai also offers a unique Thai street experience in every restaurant, evident with their design that dons all branches and the aromatic and flavorful smell that makes for a signature dining.

    Khao Khai is located in six other branches in Poblacion, Makati; Del Monte Avenue, Quezon City; Mall of Asia; Santolan Town Plaza; SM Manila; and SM Fairview. They also offer deliveries via Food Panda and Grab Food.

  • Ruel Returns to Manila for Highly-Anticipated 4th Wall World Tour This May

    Australian singer-songwriter and pop star Ruel is set to make his highly anticipated return to Manila for his 4th Wall World Tour on May 26, at the Samsung Hall (SM Aura Premier). Fans can get their tickets starting April 11 at 10 AM via SMTickets.com and SM Tickets outlets nationwide. The concert is presented by Wilbros Live.

    At just 20 years old and on the brink of releasing his debut album 4th Wall via RCA (ROW) & Sony Music (Australia), Ruel exudes confidence in the authenticity of his music. “It’s exactly the music I wanted to write…what I had in my head. It’s me executing my ideas, instead of trying to execute other people’s ideas in my way,” he says.

    Ruel Manila 4th Wall World Tour

    4th Wall, executively produced by long-time collaborator M-Phazes (Khalid, Noah Cyrus, Remi Wolf), has been a journey of self-discovery for Ruel. Originally headed down a Pop/R&B lane, the pandemic acted as a major personal and professional conduit for Ruel, pushing him to forge his own creative path and expand his musical horizons.

    “I spent the last three years writing it and wound up with over 100 songs. I rewrote half of them and re-recorded most of them… It’s been the biggest journey making this record,” Ruel notes.

    Fans have been treated to a series of singles that showcase Ruel’s musical prowess, including the dancefloor anthem “Growing Up Is ____,” the dreamy “Let The Grass Grow,” the poignant “You Against Yourself,” and the emotional ballad “Must Be Nice.”

    Since his debut in 2017 at the age of 14, Ruel has become one of the most influential artists of his generation, with over 2 billion global streams, 1.2 million Instagram followers, and five platinum records to his name. He’s also the youngest artist ever to win Breakthrough Artist at the ARIA Awards and the youngest artist to sell out the Sydney Opera House twice. Notably, Ruel has caught the attention of industry legends such as Elton John and Zane Lowe.

    With three successful EPs, Ruel’s debut album is eagerly awaited by his fans. The album features several platinum and double platinum hits, including “Younger,” “Dazed & Confused,” “Painkiller,” “Real Thing,” and “Face to Face.” Ruel has also shared stages with Khalid, Shawn    Mendes, played Tyler, the Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw festival, and collaborated with Denzel Curry, JVKE, Omar Apollo, and Cosmo’s Midnight.

    Now three EPs deep – READY, FREE TIME and BRIGHT LIGHTS, RED EYES, the time is well and truly nigh for 4TH WALL to take flight. With an impressive collection of Platinum and Double Platinum hits including YOUNGER, DAZED & CONFUSED, PAINKILLER, REAL THING and FACE TO FACE, the release of 4TH WALL will further solidify his position as one of Australia’s most successful artists.

    Ruel has garnered international acclaim and has been featured in high-end editorials such as Nylon, Vogue, and GQ. He’s also received praise from notable publications such as NME, The Face, famed celebrity and fine art photographer Rankin’s Hunger TV, and Coup De Main.

    As fans wait for the global tour announcement, Ruel is excited to return to Manila and reassert himself as one of the world’s most exciting artists. “Okay, time to bring home my sound. I can’t wait,” he says.

  • REVIEW: Lightweight and lots of fun, ‘Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves’ is quite enjoyable

    As someone who used to play the popular tabletop role playing game back in the 80s and 90s (and reintroduced to the world and made popular again by ‘Stranger Things’), seeing the trailer of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves tickled my childhood fantasies. In the trailer, I saw creatures I’ve fought in the game like The Displacer Beast and the Gelatinous Cube. It’s all geekdom and nerd-lore but that’s the realm by which ‘Dungeon & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves’ is trying to strike a chord with. And by all means, it works.

    There’s an almost improvisational structure to the narrative of the film, which reminds me of how it’s like to actually play the game. Rather than laying down and establishing all the moving parts early on, we discover side quests that are needed to beat the big boss of the film. There are even three stories told within the main story – again, very reminiscent of the actual tabletop role playing game – but you don’t have to have played the game to enjoy this movie. The characters, most especially the duo of Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez, is actually enough to carry the movie through.

    Dungeons Dragons

    ‘Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves’ is a fantasy action heist movie with Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez as Edgin and Holga, partners in both petty crime and raising Edgin’s daughter Kira (Chloe Coleman). When one job goes horribly wrong, Edgin and Holga find themselves in prison and take on a quest to get free and find Kira. The first part is easy but the second part, means they’d have to go against a former ally Forge Fitzwilliam (played by Hugh Grant, who is obviously having a blast) and their former client Sofina (Daisy Head), who happens to be a powerful wizard.

    So the narrative shifts from a simple rescue mission to a complicated caper that includes mystical items to break through a very powerful kingdom. Along the way they gather the sorcerer Simon (Justice Smith, a shape-shifting druid (Sophia Lillis), and the Paladin Xenk (Rege-Jean Page). 

    It’s a team caper film with a lot of moving parts and each segment is hinged upon the special skills of one of the main characters or a magical item that happens to be in their arsenal. It’s not particularly clever plot-wise, in fact, there’s very little friction or true struggle in the film. You get this feeling that they’ll figure it out regardless of what obstacle gets in their way. ‘Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves’ is lightweight and easy in tone and mood and that’s actually its charm.

    Dungeons Dragons Honor Among Thieves

    ‘Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves’ is not out to put you through a ringer. Instead, it’s out to give you a good time and enjoy a hassle-free adventure. It’s generous in its gags and jokes and plenty of battle sequences. It’s a by-the-numbers adventure film where the stakes aren’t that high but the enjoyment level is still quite high.

    And surprisingly, it manages two very touching scenes, both involving Pine, Rodriguez, and Coleman, which serve as the heart of the film. For all its lightweight charm and its incessant use of one-shot techniques and CGI effects to showcase the full extent of a shapeshifting druid’s abilities, the film surprises you with tender moments full of heart. The dynamic and relationship that the film manages to establish between Edgin, Holga, and Kira surprises us with a strongly beating heart at the center of this movie.

    More than anything, it’s just nice to see a totally different world in the cinema that’s not superhero related nor some reboot of some old tv show or movie. It’s a completely new set of characters and adventure and while it is set in a familiar world – familiar to those who know the world of Dungeons & Dragons, most specifically the Forgotten Realms campaign setting – it still feels new and refreshing. 

    My Rating:

    5 stars - Don't Look Up review
