Thai Shrimp Cake

Thai Shrimp Cake

My friend Chef Robert Danhi and I share a lot of things in common, so it’s no surprise that we hit it off as soon as we connected on Twitter a few years ago. Describing himself as a “hard-boiled egg”—white on the outside but yellow inside—Robert embraces everything Asian when it comes to cooking, eating, and traveling. Every year, Robert…

Ma Du Zi Hotel, Bangkok

Ma Du Zi Hotel, Bangkok

Bangkok is one of my favorite cities in Asia. Other than an endless array of delicious foods, be it street-food or fine-dining restaurants, Bangkok offers some of the best—and most trendy—boutique hotels in the region.
