Halal Guys

Hogg

Everyone raves about the halal guys... so i had to try this to see whether they live up to the hype. Since the queue today was not as long as it usually is... I decided to join in the queue. (They are usually on 53rd and 6th Ave) I still waited for a good 20 mins though!

I typically order the lamb over rice. And just so I'm comparing apples to apples, I ordered the lamb over rice too.

 

The verdict.... the portions was really huge. The lamb was cooked to perfection... not burnt like some of the other lamb over rice I've had in the past. Also, the chilli sauce they had was a little different from the other stores. This one was spicy hot and very very nice.

Would I queue so long for this? Well... not really. If it were a 5 mins wait... maybe. But definitely will not queue past 10 mins. There are other stores that does their lamb over rice equally well (with exception of the extra spicy chilli sauce).

Old Traditional Polish Cuisine Food Truck

Today I had absolutely no intention in buying lunch off a food truck. But I walked past this one on the way back from Wholefoods, and the menu looked quite interesting. So I stopped by (at 55th & Broadway) and ordered some food from the Old Traditional Polish Cuisine Foodtruck. They are usually at different locations throughout the day, so it's best to check their website for where they are (polishtrucknyc.com).

The menu is not extensive (which is what I like, so I can make my mind up in a minute). There's just about 6 items.

I had the Lite Combo which consisted of a grilled kielbasy (the sausage), 4 potato/cheese pierogi (the ravioli looking thing), a pickle and a bread. I must say I really like the potato pierogi. Didn't taste like potato, but whatever it was, it was really really yummy. The sausage was a tad salty, but goes very well with the bread together with some mustard on the side, and sauce (which I think is oil) on the base of the box that tasted fairly yummy too. I give this dish a 4/5 just because the pierogi was 5stars. However for $10... I think it's a tad too expensive. I would pay about $8-9 for it. A double digit pricing just doesn't feel right for food off a food truck. Would I go back for it? Probably only if I had a huge cravings for the pierogi.

Other stuff on the menu:

Gorilla Cheese

I really like eating food from the food trucks. So we saw this one on bizzare foods. Since they're always on the move, and they were at 46th & 6th Av, that was today's lunch!!

We ordered the  Buffalo Chicken Sandwich & the Pulled Pork Sandwich. $8 each, and a $3 tot. I give the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich a 7/10 and the Pulled Pork Sandwich a 9/10. The sandwich is very flavoursome... but who wouldn't love a grilled cheese & meat sandwich? I reckon I could do the exact same sandwich at home with an oven toaster and loads of oil/butter on the bread.

For pricing, and the size of the sandwich, I'd say 5/10. Too small size for such a huge cost. The $3 tots is totally not worth it. Tasted just like the frozen ones we get at the supermarket. I'm sure it's fresh potatoes.
