Don't feel like having rice or noodles but wanted to eat a variety of snacks thus went with this 'platter'. Consist of spring rolls, satay, mango salad and chicken 'moo ping'.
Spring rolls were good and filled with glass noodles, carrots and very few cabbages. It doesn't contain any jicama - which was great cos I don't like jicama. The rolls were freshly fried, and came piping hot. They were a little on the oily side but bearable, ie, not bursting with oil when you bite into them. The fillings were quite well-seasoned too.
Satay were good too, and the meat was very well grilled, moist and flavourful. There were no fatty bits or chicken skin in between the meat, so this is a big plus for me. The meat had a hint of lemongrass flavour and tastes like the usual satay minus the charred bits. I don't like satay's peanut sauce so didn't try the dip.
Their mango salad was ok for me, nothing too extraordinary. I liked the fact that the dish wasn't too sour or spicy. The flavour was very well balanced, I must say and it offered a refreshing taste to the other selections on the platter. Very much like a palate cleanser.
The chicken moo ping (aka kai ping) is my favourite when it comes to Mr Tuk Tuk and similarly this did not disappoint. Meat was thigh meat, grilled perfectly. Moist, tender, with a mix of sweet and salty.
Overall, I would put this as my go-to order if I...
Read moreEmbarking on a culinary adventure to a Thai restaurant, I was greeted with a delightful array of menu options and an extensive beverage list. The food portions were generous, offering ample satisfaction. While the dishes were flavorful and enticing, I must admit they strayed from traditional Thai authenticity, presumably adapted to suit local preferences. This culinary compromise, while understandable, left me yearning for a more authentic taste of Thailand.
The staff provided excellent service, typically prompt and attentive. However, during peak hours, their efficiency occasionally faltered, resulting in extended wait times. Despite these occasional lapses, the staff's overall demeanor remained pleasant and helpful.
As for pricing, I found the restaurant to be on the pricier side. While the generous portions and flavorful dishes partially justified the cost, I couldn't help but feel that the prices could be more moderate.
Overall, the restaurant offered a pleasant dining experience, marred by minor inconsistencies. The food, though adapted to local tastes, was still enjoyable, and the staff's service was generally commendable. However, the pricing seemed a bit steep for the...
Read moreWe ordered a set (rice with 3 courses) and Tom Yam with rice. RM 2.90 for a bowl of rice is expensive in my opinion, and nothing special about the rice. The set was okay in general, the portion was great and you can actually share between 2 people if you eat little. I would rate 4/5 for this set. Tom yam soup was very disappointed. From the look of the soup, you can already tell that they didn’t do a good job already. The chicken in the soup, even though given quite a good amount of meat, but it was the worst part of chicken, meat near the organs. They didn’t even stir-fry the meat with any garlics or spices to treat the raw smell, probably just simply dumped the parts into tom yam soup, with mushroom, then served. I lost my appetite after my first bite, and later left a bad taste in my mouth. Thai milk tea was bland, not aromatic at all. On the good side, the staff who serving us was friendly and helpful though, and the place was clean and nice.
In total we spent RM 40 for 2. If you go here, better order the set, don’t go...
