BEND, Ore. (KTVZ)– One of Bend’s most unique food destinations has a new home. Tekka Tiger has officially moved and expanded, bringing even bigger Southeast Asian flavors to a new location.
The popular food spot, formerly located across the street from the world’s last Blockbuster, is now set up next to WinCo and CannaBend. The move allowed Tekka Tiger to upgrade to a new food truck, giving chefs the ability to hand-cook every dish to order.
“We just wanted to bring really, like, big flavors that we noticed in Southeast Asia,” said owner Kley Dhillon. “So a lot of galangal, ikan bilis, which is a small anchovy. We use that to make one of our sambal. We’re also doing a Singapore beehoon, so it’s rice vermicelli noodle with a little bit of spam and then fishcake on top. And then we’re looking to expand the menu from there.”
The new location also offers more convenience for customers. With pre-orders and DoorDash now available, diners can drop off an order, do their shopping at WinCo, and pick up a hot meal when they’re done.
Tekka Tiger’s menu changes often, with fresh dishes added regularly. Fans are encouraged to follow the restaurant’s social media pages for the latest updates on what’s cooking.
