Tek Heng — Restaurant in Talat Phlu Subdistrict

Food [3/5]

1. 🍜 Crispy Noodle with Shrimp, Crab, and Egg (4.25/5) As recommended by Michelin, their signature dish, the deep-fried bee hoon, was exceptionally fragrant and delightfully crispy without being tough. It offered a perfect blend of sweetness and savory flavors. To savor the crispy noodles' texture, I preferred adding the condiments directly into my mouth rather than mixing them in. It was a unique taste experience that I would recommend trying if you're in the area!

2. 🐟 Fried Curried Fish Cakes (2.5/5) Suggested by a YouTuber, we decided to try the seemingly ordinary curried fish cakes. Unfortunately, they turned out to be quite ordinary indeed. They had a slightly tough texture, a mild curry flavor, and some rather peculiar long beans that didn't absorb the curry's essence. The accompanying sauce was rather mediocre.

3. 🍳 Fried Oysters with Omelette on a Hot Plate (2/5) The oysters in this dish were too fishy for my taste, and the omelette lacked the desired crispiness and fragrance, even though I tried it immediately upon serving. Additionally, the nearly raw bean sprouts overshadowed what little fragrance the omelette and oysters had. While the dish was also overly oily.

🚗 Service [4.5/5] The staff, including waiters and cashiers, were exceptionally friendly to foreigners and non-Thai speakers. They also appeared to offer parking for their customers and even assisted with providing sun covers for cars to keep them from getting too hot inside.

❄️ Ambience [4.25/5] While the shop's interior might show its age a bit, it's air-conditioned, well-maintained, and very clean.

💲 Value [1/5] The total bill amounted to 480 Baht, which might be considered expensive but reasonable, especially given the Michelin recommendation.

However, considering the price relative to the quality of the food, I would suggest trying the crispy noodles once out of curiosity and saving your money for other dining experiences...
