Luke Farrell comments, 'I am absolutely delighted to host Samrub Samrub Thai at Speedboat. I first met Prin when he was head chef of Nahm, David Thompson's restaurant at the Halkin Hotel. It was revolutionary, the only place serving true Thai food as you would find in Thailand. I used to bring boxes of chillies and herbs from my greenhouses up on the train. I remember how excited I was, wondering how Prin would magically weave them into the menu’.
