The Happy Truck that makes you happy

IMG_20130811_130444As we roll back into the school season, many of us are dreading the thought of classrooms, textbooks and most importantly, homework. During Marda Gras this year, I was able to try some of the Indonesian Food from The Happy Truck, one of the newest additions to the YYC Food Trucks lineup.

Happy Truck serves mainly Indonesian food, and luckily I was able to pick up one of the Indonesian lemongrass chicken with coconut rice and acar salad before it was sold out. They serve many other dishes as well, namely Shrimps, Perogies and Sausages and more.

For $9.50, you get a full-sized plate that will be more than enough for most. There is a quite sizeable portion of tender chicken, along with a big chunk of coconut rice and some cucumber pieces. The coconut rice was flavoured to perfection, and it was still hot and steaming. The salad however, was a little to sour to for my taste, but it may suit those who are looking for some more flavour. I especially liked the chicken, which was tender and soft, with the right amount of lemongrass in it. Overall, this is not a bad buy and I would definitely recommend this to others.

Make sure you check them out at their website, Twitter and Facebook pages.

Service – 4/5 – There was a short lineup, but the lady was very friendly and I was served my plate within three minutes of ordering.

Food – 4/5 – While I may be a little picky on the flavouring, I think overall the plate was well done, especially the tender and juicy chicken pieces.

Value – 4.5/5 – $9.5 is on par with most of the food dishes these days. I did like that it had quite large portions, so I would give it a 4.5.

Food truck design – 4/5 – The food truck was a converted motorhome, with a brand new paint job. It is a catchy yellow colour, with some nice graphics on the outside.
