"In the 3yrs I’ve been here in Austin, I’ve probably dined at Tuk Tuk Thai restaurant over a hundred times. I go through my favorites rotation of fried rice, Pad Thai, Pad See Ew or Tom Yum Goong soup for the cold/rainy days. But what fan would I be if don’t try their full selection? So I decided on a quest to try EVERY single item on their menu that I haven’t had before. For tonight’s visit I opted for their Pla Lad Prik chef’s special and ohhhhhh mmyyyyyy goodness!!! I can’t believe I’ve been missing out on this delicious concoction all this time! I rarely step outside of my own personal norms so me trying something new really really paid off this time! The lightly battered boneless tilapia fillet was fried to golden perfection and drowned in curry sauce with bell peppers and jalapeño. I’m not even embarrassed to share I ended up consuming 3 scoops of rice. This family owned restaurant goes above and beyond to continuously and consistently provide not only soul satisfying food, but genuine and world class service as well. This crispy fish in a sauce dish reminds me so much of my Papa’s Escabeche cooking. Thank you Tuk Tuk Thai for being a piece of home away from home for me <3<3<3 Even my fortune is on point tonight: “Don’t worry about the stock market. Invest in family.”"
