[Uber Eats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikoyi-1) and Rosa’s Thai have launched a new partnership in the UK that embraces messy eating to celebrate those who are always ruining their clothing with their favorite foods. The partnership consists of the Red [Hot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-ones-pop-up) Thai Classics bundle that's being launched at participating locations through Uber Eats, which comes with a shirt that celebrates food stains. The shirt was created through a collaboration with illustrator Justine Jossart and puts the classic dishes Khao Soi and [Tom](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nandos-and-bero) Tum Noodle Soup in the spotlight.

Founder of Rosa's Thai Saiphin Moore spoke on the Uber Eats and Rosa’s Thai partnership saying, "At Rosa’s, we say embrace the mess! A splash or two is a sign of a great meal. Our exclusive Uber Eats bundle celebrates the spills and stains that come with truly great Thai comfort food.”
