Bummer Day #17 & #18

today, I decided to make some muffins to surprise SK.. It’s my first attempt on muffins and I am quite pleased with the turnout in terms of taste. I definitely need to improve the look of these muffins though, I think they look quite ugly LOL..
Maybe a bigger oven might help…

Bummer Day 17:

Tuk Tuk Thai Kitchen

Part 2 of my bummer Sunday with Judy. After viewing St Patrick’s Residences, we headed down to Katong for dinner. Altho spoiled for choices, we made up our minds pretty quickly since our stomachs were growling.

Tuk Tuk Thai Kitchen is your typical family restaurant. It’s decor is simple, the friendly waiting staff are quick to take orders and the diners are mostly families or couples. The menu is extensive I must say, and we spent some time trying to make up our minds. One thing I really like about this place is how quickly they serve up the food. Perfect for hungry diners like us.

We had the Tom Yum clear soup with Prawns. 2 thumbs up for this one! the clear soup was fiery and sour, just the way I like my tom yum soup to be. Prawns are decent though not exactly the freshest. Another thing I like is that the soup was served in what looked like a blow-up aromatherapy dish, the soup was kept warm throughout dinner. If you come here, you MUST order this.

Tom Yum Soup, S$10.90

Also on the spread is my all time Thai favourite – the Fish Otak. The fish otak here lacks the extra oomph factor but the soft texture makes up for the lack.
Not the best I’ve had, but decent.

Fish Otak, S$9.90

The Spicy Chicken Wings were not at all spicy and tasted like regular fried chicken wings. Nothing spectular cept for it being crispy without being too oily.

Spicy Chicken Wings, S$5.90

The worst dish we had was the Thai Beancurd. Last I recall, beancurd is supposed to be crisp outside and soft inside. This was a hard beancurd, with a weird sort of meat on top.
Didn’t cut it for us and we left it mostly untouched. This shot does the dish A LOT of justice.

Thai Beancurd, S$8.90

Tuk Tuk is a casual place to have a simple meal if you are staying in the East. I will definitely come back here to sample other dishes on its menu, and to have the tom yum soup again

Tuk Tuk Thai Kitchen is at 135/137 East Coast Road (opposite Katong Mall)
Parking is very much a challenge in Katong area. Park opposite at Waraku’s instead. (Be warned, I paid $4 for 1.5hours)
I give a rating of 5.5 burps
