New App
Each year, 33 percent of all food produced globally goes to waste — that’s close to a billion and a half tonnes of food that’s never consumed! Yindii is an anti-food waste startup that has launched a mobile application designed to match
deal-seeking Bangkok residents with environmentally-conscious restaurants, grocery stores, and cafes offering delicious food that would otherwise be going to waste. The app is a direct-to-consumer platform that boasts exclusive and immediate ‘Happy Hour Deals’ with discounts from 50 percent to 70 percent. All you need to do is purchase a Yindii box and head to the restaurant to pick up your order or have it delivered. Currently, eateries listed include Sofitel Bangkok Sukhumvit, Veganerie, and The Banana Warrior, among others. www.yindii.co
New Venue
Last month marked the unveiling of the Sirimahannop The Heritage, a versatile dining and event venue docked at Asiatique The Riverfront. Launched by Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park, the boat is a detailed replica of the last three-masted sailing ship officially used by The Royal Thai Navy, boasting elegant décor and historic photographs that will transport guests to the enchanting Thailand of yesteryear. Sirimahannop can accommodate up to 300 guests across two levels: the Upper Deck and Lower Deck. Upstairs, guests can dine al fresco from a tapas-style menu while sipping on original cocktails, craft beers, premium wines, and top- shelf spirits. Regular entertainment ranges from DJs to live bands, shows, and themed parties. Facebook: @Sirimahannop
