The Verdict: 
I have been asked what my favourite cart is and I often answer "It depends on what you're in the mood for".  I would say that almost all of the trucks that I have tried have really great food.  I would have to say that this cart is my favourite to date!

A new player on the scene - just opened Friday, September 9 - Le Tigre has an Asian almost offering that I haven't found in any other truck.  

The Kick Ass rice is a rice bowl with a soft poached egg and pork belly on top.  The combination of hot chilis and cilantro that finish this rice bowl was perfect with the toppings and made me dream about the combination all weekend!  My only complaint would be that the egg was almost medium poached, however that's how I like to eat my eggs so to me it was still delicious.

The sides of Beet Fries, Special Salad and Finger Chicken were all very tasty.  The Special Salad was a warm Brussels sprout salad with Asian flavourings.

Truck: Num Num

Location: South Granville 

Type of Food: Vietnamese

Sidekicks: Helen, Secret Sidekick and Kat

Food Ordered: 
Ultra Rice Bowl - both veggie and non-veggie options
        Yum! I loved the combination of flavours in this rice bowl.  I felt that this offered a healthier option than some of the other dishes I've eaten from trucks this summer especially because of the veggies! I love veggies!

Super-sized Salad Roll
The verdict was - it's a good thing you can get a half order!  This wrap was pretty standard for a Vietnamese salad roll and was very delicious!

           

The Verdict: 
Wow!  From the time I checked out the menu to the time that I was actually able to enjoy my food this cart was calling my name!  I love the design of the truck and the food is absolutely incredible!  Very num nummy!  

Favourite Thing(s) About This Truck: The food speaks for itself.  I especially love the character on the truck - super cute!

The service was also very fast and friendly which I appreciated with it being somewhat off the beaten track for us.

Accessibility: Easily accessible if you're on South Granville, otherwise it's kind of hard to get to.
