Humble Chef Food Truck

So, some of my homies asked why not blog about law? Why not blog about something thats useful to the nation? Why not bring changes to the society and just WHY NOT?
Well, you know, i was doing all that before (2012) and i realize there is too many of lawyer," burok wayangs" and  "lawyer buroks" to defend the nations. So i have decided to let them be and parler avec emphase about FOOD!

The very first entree of mine for today will be on "The Humble Chef" Food Truck. Not the cafe but the food truck located along Pusat Damansara, not so opposite of the Mcdonalds around the corner. Im sure many  of you all heard and probably a regularlite in this joint. Seemingly said, it is probably the pioneer of food caravaning in Kayel. I was told that if your looking for western fare in its cheapest and best quality, seek this joint.
One day after work and coaxed by impromptu dinner decision for the day, we (me and my buddies) resorted to trying this joint out. Reaching closer to the food truck, we noticed that there was a seriously long que awaiting near the ordering counter (well, duh, that's where ques usually stay stagnant na?). So, we joined the que and waited. Meanwhile, we got another a friend of ours to scout a table to sit and i tell you, getting a table to sit was a miracle. People were eagle eyeing the very next spot available and that is how my partner in crimes aka buddy got a spot for us. I also noticed that, most of the customers queuing alongside with us are students and that did make us feel a lil old.

Waiting close to fifteen minutes to reach the ordering counter, we finally did. We were greeted by this ghetto looking dude taking our orders. So this was what was in the menu:-
1. Spaghetti-pesto and carbonara
2. Pita Wrap
3. Cheese omellete

You can choose either a chicken or lamb base for the pasta sauce and the pita bread. The omelette shall be stuffed with mushroom and tomato (yes, we didn't order that).
Placing our orders and paying for our meal (RM 15.00 + 2.50 for a pepsi and chrysanthemum tea) we joined out other buddy and waited for our meal.
Let me tell you, i'm an impatient fledgling when it comes to food and we ended up waiting for 45 minutes for our food to arrive. My two other buddies  made a quick detour stop at Mcd across the road for an "appetizer"
appetizer
The Appetizer
Gobbling it up, we waited and we waited and waited. Finally it reached us......finally!!
Pasta Carbonara Lamb
Pasta Carbonara Lamb
Cheesy and greasy it was. Bland in seasoning and there was a fowl after taste in the lamb. The lamb portion was too little and there was puddle of runny sauce coating the pasta. 3/10
Pasta Pesto-Lamb
Flavour wise, slightly better then the carbonara sauce yet again this too was coated in heavy olive oil drenching and slightly burnt pesto sauce. Meat was skimpy like actress Shakila's dressing. 4/10 #justsaying.
Pita Bread-Chicken
Pita Bread-Chicken
Hollow emptiness with fingertips countable chicken strips stuffed in it. Heavy on the cream dressing and seriously bland. 2/10
This is was my experience with The Humble Chef Food Truck.
In my humblest opinion, there is a lot of improvement that has too be addressed in this joint. Yes, it was cheap indeed and in the ratio of RM 50.00 budget of my food encounters for three of us, thus far this was indeed amazingly affordable. Moreover, we did spend on Mcd which was not in our plan.  However, flavour wise, service and waiting time has to be tremendously improved. We will not patronize this joint again but i suppose the experience differs accordingly.
The cost for this meal was altogether RM37.50 for three of us. I would say it was affordable indeed minusing the Mcd detour.
So, wanna feel the adrenalin eating above LDP highway under the moonlight, why not try.........
