 Aqua
Expeditions has announced the appointment of Michelin-starred Chef David
Thompson to its culinary team.Australian-born David Thompson joins Aqua Expeditions as Executive Chef of the Aqua Mekong river cruise ship (pictured, below), scheduled to launch in September 2014. Thompson’s Nahm restaurant in Bangkok is considered a destination in itself for international travelers. Thompson was selected by Francesco Galli Zugaro, CEO and founder of Aqua Expeditions. “I was determined to identify the very best and most creative chef in the region for my second river destination,” says Galli Zugaro. Aqua Expeditions has a history of working with outstanding chefs; Pedro Miguel Schiaffino, celebrated for his innovative Peruvian cuisine, is Executive Chef of Aqua Expeditions’ Amazon river boats, the Aqua Amazon and Aria Amazon. “As Asia’s top-ranked chef on ‘San Pellegrino World’s 50 Best Restaurants,’ David is the perfect fit for the exclusive Aqua Mekong,” Galli Zugaro continued, “because his unique culinary experience and first-hand knowledge of Asian ingredients and palates will enable us to provide guests with the authentic culinary experience they expect from an Aqua Expeditions cruise.” With a reputation for first-class cuisine influenced by Southeast Asia, Thompson will create an exclusive menu for Aqua Expeditions’ guests, combining the culinary traditions of Mekong River culture with the freshest local ingredients plucked from the markets of Saigon, Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. “Working with Aqua Mekong will be an exciting challenge,” says Thompson, “and the food will be based on the cooking of Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, the countries which depend on the Mekong River. I look forward to setting sail.” Aqua Expeditions was the first adventure travel company to introduce five-star luxury cruises to the Amazon River in Peru, and in September 2014 will introduce the Mekong’s most exclusive vessel. The Aqua Mekong will be the company’s first vessel in Asia and will take guests on a journey on the Mekong River, between Cambodia and Vietnam. |
