Thai Green Curry

The most popular and well known dish with foreigners of all the Thai curries and of course another signature disk of Tuk Tuk. A spicy and slightly sweet, coconut milk base with green curry and a mixture of vegetables and herbs.

Yellow Curry

When I was cooking from home my customers would ask if I could do a milder curry because sometimes the green curry was too spicy for their taste buds. So I gave yellow curry a try on my menu and it was a hit! A mild curry with coconut based potatoes and onion.

Panaeng Curry

This has to be the most popular curry out of all the curries in Thailand because of the level of spice! Thai people enjoy their chillies and indulge in them through food. It has also become very popular with many Westerners. Savoury coconut milk base with Panaeng curry paste.

Thai Red Curry

Red Curry is full of flavour and colour. A spicy, savoury coconut milk base with red curry and a mixture of vegetables and herbs.

Thai Masamunn Curry

Another curry loved by Westerners. Southern Thai, where there are many Indians based, because it is on the Malaysian border. Masamunn has Indian curry influence with cardamon pods, cinnamon stick and aniseed giving the curry the distinctive masmunn curry aroma. Another coconut cream based curry with masamunn paste. Potatoes, carrots and onions are added. This is a mild to medium spiced curry.
