Press relase from Niu's below. I haven't been there yet (don't even know how to pronounce it: is it Nee-oohs or Noo-ees?), but now have another reason to visit with Marco Camarata, supposedly, now in the kitchen. He's an awesome chef, one of the best in town -- how he stays that thin, though, is beyond me. We should all be thankful that he just moved to another district (near our office!) and not another city.

We all know that Bel Guardo never did the business its founders had hoped. Bangkokians never accepted the location -- in Singapore, maybe, but here we're not comfortable spending that kind of cash in a shopping mall unless we're shopping. I haven't had the chance to speak to Marco, so you'll have to wait for gossip on his parting.

So Chef Ian is back from New York and Marco has moved out of his dream restaurant... who's next?
