Speedboat Bar takes inspiration from the Thai-Chinese restaurants in Bangkok’s Chinatown and the thrilling sport of speedboat racing along the canals (klongs) of Thailand. The restaurant's design is an homage to a Thai-Chinese shophouse with its utilitarian, stainless steel finish; whilst the upstairs clubhouse bar is decorated with signed portraits of the racers whilst Thai pop, turbo folk and mor lam blast through the speakers.
The menu explores food that is Chinese in origin, but has since become distinctly Thai - running the gamut of Bangkok’s late-night favourites. Think market staples of drunken noodle dishes, wok-cooked dishes, roasted meats and spicy sauces - alongside a selection of Thai spirits and rice wines, Singha beer towers designed for sharing, slushies and chasers, as well as a range of cocktails.
Iconic stir-fries, tom yam, noodles and curries
Tom Yam Mama soup; soya chicken curry and winter melon; Yam Mamuang – green mango salad with crispy fish, chillies and pork floss; lychee and roasted duck curry and a dessert of Candied pineapple and butter pie.
Snakeblood Negroni is a fusion of Yaa Dong (a medicinal blend of roots and barks sourced from Thailand) with citrus from Ryewater farm and vermouth, Campari and bitter gourd; Start Your Engines, a sweet coffee and coconut spirit with coconut foam, and Drunken Fruit with green mango tequila served with side shot of pickled fruit.
