new opening
Tuk Tuk Thai Cafe: Modern Twist on Authentic Thai
MYANMORE What makes Tuk Tuk outstanding from other Thai restaurants around town is the modern take on the dishes but keeping the authentic taste. The menu at Tuk Tuk was the creation of Chef Matthew Albert, former Head Chef of Nahm London, the first Thai restaurant in the world to be awarded a Michelin Star for Thai food. We start off with guest chef highlight menu “Namprik�, fermented shrimp, minced prawn and apple, served with fresh vegetables. It may look mild but do not let it fool you. The spiciness kicks off the tastebuds to be ready for the upcoming delicacies. We hop on to Chef Matthew's Yum Talay--seafood salad, lemongrass and pomelo. The seafood was fresh and the pomelo brings the sour taste to it, making it the perfect blend for the dish. For the main course, the star of the meal is Khao Soi, Northern Chicken Curry Noodle Soup (10,000 ks). It is rare to find this dish in Yangon, but at Tuk Tuk Thai, they have done it right. As soon as it was served, we were amazed by the modern presentation and once we tried our first sip, we could tell it was authentic. The noodle was soft and the soup is flavorful of curry taste. Another one that we would like to recommend is Pork Parlow, 5 spice braised pork. The pork is soft and tender which goes well with hot steamed rice. For those with sweet tooth, you can end the meal with the signature dessert of Thailand--mango and sticky rice. Adding some refreshment to the meal with Thai-inspired cocktails such as Sittwe Ginger Smash or the Bangkok Calling from Tuk Tuk signature drinks collection. Tuk Tuk currently offers express lunch promotion of one main dish with soft drink or Tiger beer for 8,000 ks++. Address: Bogalazay street, Yangon Phone: 09 766 986945 Opening hours: 11:00AM - 11:00PM
"Nice pop up thai food there. Miss mexican food but the thai taste is really great tho."
