Crying Tiger
There are many people wonder why there is a dish has a name as such. Crying Tiger is not a tiger meat as lots of may people think. It’s a beef fillet grilled, serving with spicy dipping sauce. Again the name does not come from the spicy sauce that will make people cry or some sort like that. We knew that the sauce is spicy, but…hey… it won’t make you cry. No worries.
Here is a story how the name of the “Crying Tiger” come from. Crying Tiger dish in Thailand uses a beef fillet that have a bit of fat. When beef fillet (with fat) are being grilled, the oil will dripping out and that look like a tear.
Crying Tiger is serving with spicy dipping sauce. When we say spicy, we meant business; it’s real spicy!!! Our Crying Tiger at Coconut Thai, Wollongong has been kept original; SPICE while some Thai restaurants may make it a little bit sweet. We are not. We go for the real thing.
