Proud and excited about launching our new set menus. We feel it’s a step up for our food, and we hope that it showcases a balanced and refined thai meal, something we’re constantly… https://t.co/pqJnwNWEFz

@dan_lepard @FoodAndPsych @AnnaSulan @Asma_KhanLDN @AdamCoghlan @eaterlondon We definitely messed up got a bunch of things wrong in all this. So it’s been good to talk about it, and to try and learn from it.

@notquiteYao @andisn16 @MarinaOLoughlin @somsaa_london @meemalee @midnightbakerl1 @demarionunn @DavidJPaw Yep, i can totally understand that.

[andy oliver @andy_oliver]

@notquiteYao @andisn16 @MarinaOLoughlin @somsaa_london @meemalee @midnightbakerl1 @demarionunn @DavidJPaw ...you can choose to believe me, or not.

[andy oliver @andy_oliver]

@notquiteYao @andisn16 @MarinaOLoughlin @somsaa_london @meemalee @midnightbakerl1 @demarionunn @DavidJPaw I don’t wish to spk for the person concerned, except to say that I know for a fact that that wasn’t meant as a threat. It looked horrendous yes, was stupid yes, but not a threat. If it was I would be just as offended as u. I can say that with a clear heart and...

[andy oliver @andy_oliver]

@andisn16 @MarinaOLoughlin @somsaa_london @meemalee @midnightbakerl1 @demarionunn @DavidJPaw Yes let’s definitely meet up. Will be in touch to organise.

@andisn16 @MarinaOLoughlin @somsaa_london @meemalee @midnightbakerl1 @demarionunn @DavidJPaw @andisn16 @MarinaOLoughlin @somsaa_london @meemalee @midnightbakerl1 @demarionunn @DavidJPaw i and we are really happy to chat to anyone on this. We know we’ve messed up bad and we’re open to criticism and want to learn from it.

[andy oliver @andy_oliver]

@andisn16 @MarinaOLoughlin @somsaa_london @meemalee @midnightbakerl1 @demarionunn @DavidJPaw ...the kind of thing that would come out of people’s mouths in our kitchen at som saa. But I understand that through my actions I’ve made that look hard to believe, and I know that all we can do now is to apologise and work extra hard to repair that.

[andy oliver @andy_oliver]

@jacqueawallace And ...I understand how people could imagine that, because of this, that kind of racist humour was the norm in our kitchen. But that couldn’t be further from the truth.

[andy oliver @andy_oliver]

@jacqueawallace Yep I totally accept that. It WAS racist and I should have stated that more clearly. I know it seems hard to believe but I failed to recognise that when I tweeted it. And through that and through our employment of Shaun we did enable it. We fucked up and we’re really sorry.

[andy oliver @andy_oliver]

@meemalee @somsaa_london all suggestions are welcome, and we are discussing what positive actions we can take to move forward from this.

[andy oliver @andy_oliver]

@meemalee @somsaa_london I agree with that, and we are keen to be involved in any kind of productive discussion around this.
