This was the second year we hit the food truck festival and savored the unique and scrumptious creations from the various food truck chefs. Truck by truck, bit by bit. How I wish we could sample all. Our bellies could only handle so much we gotta stopped. It was quite a hit and miss this year. Half of the food we tried tasted so good but another half was not good at all.
Before the festival, I did my research and planned ahead since there were 35 vendors. It was mainly because we had to wait in line for a long time last year at certain trucks. So this year I decided ahead of time as what trucks I wanted to visit. Of course I primarily aimed for Asian fusion food trucks while my husband focused on his meaty burger truck. I sure was hungry and ready!
Kimchi Ramen: this was soooooooooo good. Spicy and full of flavors. A unique mix of kimchi in Ramen and crispy tempura chicken.
I couldn't recall what was in this burger that the husband got but he loved it.
Swaggy dog sushi: OMG this was super delicious!!!! Shrimp tempura and fried corn wrapped in sushi rice/seaweed served with spicy aioli sauce. I have been craving for this.
Ahi Tuna Taco: it looked good but the husband said it was overly salty.
These little desserts were golden oreo deep fried in fennel cake batter. Oh my, don't even imagine how many calories each little piece had. I didn't like it though but the husband loved it so much.
In summary, I am hungry!!
Everything looks so good! Especially the ramen. I've yet to try out any food trucks yet. It's starting to get quite popular around here since I'm seeing them everywhere these days. As soon as I see an Asian fusion one, I'll be getting in line :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! Everything looks so amazingly good. My husband looooves food trucks and I only had a couple of times. I love the variety of different types of foods you can get. :)
ReplyDeleteI had lunch before opening up this post but your pics are making my mouth water. Food trucks used to be bigger in NYC. We need a fest like this here. I'd probably want to sample everything though ;p
ReplyDeleteI wish we had more food trucks here in New Orleans. I always love how they're decorated and usually get great quality food for a low price. Glad most were good. Sorry to hear some were not. That's ashame. You guys made the best of it though. That's what it's all about.
