"London's vegan restaurant scene knows no bound, and Genesis is right up there with one of the prettiest places to grab a bite.

"Chef Sirichai Kularbwong is still cooking, but for now Singburi remains takeaway only. Menu staples such as phad thai, wok-fried morning glory with garlic and fish sauce, and fiery, acidic tom yums will are available, but look to the blackboard menu for the restaurant’s hits — and never miss the moo krob, twice-fried pork with garlic, basil, and chilli, one of the city’s most accomplished and deliciously moreish dishes. Singburi’s small and welcoming dining room is likely not to reopen until later this summer."

That history has culminated in a substantial taproom around the corner from Hackney Wick Overground station, from where beers that are a challenge to find on draught elsewhere are being poured: Cantillon, De Dolle, De La Senne, to name but a few. Hundreds of others stock the fridges, while the taproom will soon have its own “blendery” — the first of its kind in Britain."
