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"
- The Appetizer
Gobbling it up, we waited and we waited and waited. Finally it reached us......finally!!
- 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
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.........
