Dear Valued Customer,
What does Tuk Tuk stand for? In Thailand, a tuk tuk is a three-wheeled motorized taxi. We would like to take this time to tell you a little bit about Thailand’s tuk tuk.
This colorful taxi, which got its name from the noise its motor makes, became a valuable asset to Thai life because it could scoot around in tight places, often making better time than regular taxis during hours of heavy traffic.
In addition to being a popular mode of transportation, the tuk tuk has become something of a cultural icon in Thailand. It symbolizes Thai innovation, ingenuity, and heritage. And the only thing that makes Thailand’s history richer than the tuk tuk is the cuisine. That’s where we come in.
The most important cooking technique in Thai cuisine is a careful balancing of spices, herbs, roots, and leaves to enhance the natural flavors and textures of main ingredients such as seafood, poultry, and red meats. Fortunately this technique eliminates the need for MSG.
With all this in mind, and more, we hope you have a very pleasant dining experience at Tuk Tuk.
Yours Truly,
The Sopchockchai Family
