| Instead of getting married, Dee Dee Niyomkul convinced her fiancé to invest the money for their wedding into a future enterprise: a restaurant. After clearing out the former interior, the couple crafted a spare, modern space with adornments that include an endless loop of projected images of Thailand, presenting photos of Bangkok, Buddhas, snarling and smiling demons and dragons, and those motorized cabs that give this restaurant its identity---the Tuk Tuk. In this environment, Niyomkul cooks all manner of Thai street food. A clever bundle of small plates includes such treats as homemade sausages from northeastern Thailand, northeastern Thai beef jerky, grilled chicken livers, steamed buns and dumplings. Then there are the noodle dishes, such as ba-mee moo dang, which tops noodles with Thai barbecued pork slices in a flavorful combination. For dessert, in season, get the mango with sticky rice (a portion big enough for two). The best wine with all this is a clean, refreshing sparkler, such as the Domaine Chandon sparkling rosé. Most of the by-the-bottle choices are well thought out, but bring friends as the by-the-glass options are uninspired. |
