I'd read the reviews, and I wanted to try it for myself. I was pleasantly surprised!…read more
So here's how things went. Tuk Tuk calls itself "street food" and I'm not sure exactly what that means, but it was delicious. I convinced my food and fun-loving Canadian colleague to join me, and we went off in search of Thai food.
When you arrive, make sure to enter the door to the left otherwise you'll end up eating Vietnamese food upstairs. which wouldn't be bad - just not what you came for.
We made our visit around 2pm. It wasn't too croweded, which was a plus. We were able to order and get a seat outside. You've got to maximize your opportunities for outdoor eating while you can. Autumn is rolling into Warsaw as I write this review.
I ordered the Thai Basil because I was craving something not too spicy that would come with rice. I was rewarded with a plate full of verdant color and chicken cooked to the perfect texture. The rice was the perfect sticky (but not too sticky) consistency, and I was happy with the portion size. My friend ordered a different plate (I can't remember now), and her portion was a little larger. I would have had too much if I'd have ordered hers.
We sampled the spring rolls. I'm not sure exactly what was in the spring rolls. They were good, but I could be convinced that there was cheese in it. It's not surprising though. We're in Poland. There seems to be cheese everywhere. So why not in your spring rolls too?
The Mango drink was tasty too - and I was a happy camper with my first authentic Asian food experience in Warsaw. I like that you order at the counter, and wait with a beeper for your food. It eases the fear of having to speak too much Polish.
On my next visit, I'm going to go for a curry. I saw others eating this from large, round bowls that were calling my name. MMM...
