Back at @samrubsamrubthai in Bangkok in January, sitting at the counter again — and I absolutely loved it.
Chef Prin Polsuk has created something very special here. His cooking digs deep into Thai culinary history, regional dishes and old recipes, then brings them to the counter in a way that feels completely contemporary without ever losing their identity.
And the counter is absolutely where I want to be. Watching Prin and the team work just adds another dimension to the meal — seeing the dishes come together, hearing a little of the story behind them and being right in the middle of it all.
The food is bold, complex and unmistakably Thai: heat, acidity, richness, smoke, funk and sweetness all flying around, but with a real precision underneath it.
Then, as a rather excellent finale, a glass of cannabis-infused rum to finish the evening.
Another brilliant meal at one of my favourite counters in Bangkok.
