#Teaser #DavidThompson #TheTubkaakKrabi #Krabi
I’ve been aching to tell you about this place, possibly the most memorable island gastronomical ‘getaway’ we’ve experienced in Thailand thus far. From the island’s history and boutique resort’s generation of founders, the lush forested surroundings and pristine beach, to finally, the living legend who calls this place his ‘second home’. David Thomson has chosen this tiny, secluded and idyllic beachside culdesac of Krabi, as a tropical destination to plant the wisdom of his culinary brilliance “The Arundina”, and after this trip, we more than understand why. But before all that (#comingsoon ), let’s start with a casual beachside meal at Tubkaak Krabi which unlike many lazy beachside indulgences that aren't usually made up of the fresh, organic ingredients or composed with an acute amount of care and partially the reason we love it, but imagine if you could have both!
The Beachfront Menu serves up a selection of beach-bumming favourties, such as hot and I mean hot, fluffy shrimp cakes made-up of the catch from the local’s fisherman’s net or a salad comprising of the island’s organic fauna, fruit and root; Paco fern and pomelo, spicy palm shoot salad, dressed with boiled egg and roasted cashew nut and a finished with a sprinkling of fried shallots and chili *drool*. Then there’s the chicken, oh my Gawd. Crisped to perfection, bite into a limb to experience the juicy and hot chicken flesh and the kick of local black peppers. Dip that baby into their homemade sweet chili sauce and munch away at the bone while basking on the extra large sized beach bed.
The one taste-sensation deeply etched into my mind and palate is Mamuang Bao Smoothie! What makes up this bombshell of a smoothie is of course the Mamuang Bao, a variety of mango native to Krabi, smaller than the standard mango, is oblong in shape and has a “starchy” texture and lovely sour finish. Combine that with Tubkaak Krabi Boutique Resort’s gorgeous white beach and a spectacular 13-island archipelago in the Andaman Sea, is all the vitamin Sea that you’ll need. @thetubkaakkrabi @davidwjthompson @ The Tubkaak Krabi Boutique Resort
