Thyme Out at SS15

Hola folks. 

Previously, I've shared 2 posts on Thyme Out food truck here and here. The reason I make this post today is because there is a new update on Thyme Out. Recently they've upgraded their business from food truck to physical shop, right in the heart of SS15. So for taco lovers, you can easily find this shop in SS15 rather than waiting for them to update their location via social media. For folks outside Subang Jaya, their truck still active & currently in TTDI. 

Their menu hasn't change much maybe some new addition like churros bomb & kumara fries. The rest remains the same from the day we first found them. The drinks menu also have been upgraded. You can even have it like fajita. 


The menu

Their kitchen is on the entrance where you will make your order to the cashier. You can watch them preparing your order if you want to. 

Taco counter

My usual order is always their lamb taco. But this time around, with a bit of crowd, we added fish taco, lamb quesadillas, lamb burrito, cheese kumara fries & churros. First off, fish taco. I never had fish taco before but since my mom and sis want to try that so we ordered fish taco. The fish used was similar to fish finger with breaded crust to give it extra crunchy texture to the taco since the taco use soft tortilla bread. They used the same tomato based sauce but different cheese from what i had earlier. Last time, they used cheddar cheese. 

Fish Taco

We had lamb taco as well. Not very much different except from the cheese & less sauce this time. Last time the sauce was overflowing but this time it was less. But the taco was still mouthful. The lamb well marinade & cooked as before. 

Lamb Taco

We never tried their quesadillas before. And we got the chance to try it now. The filling used was similar to the taco but the cheese was substituted with mozzarella cheese & then drizzled with cheese sauce on top. 

Lamb Quesadillas

I have always wanted to try Burrito but always end up eating something else. The burrito, like taco, uses the same filling with mozzarella cheese but without any rice which was a bit weird. Kinda like a wrap when burrito missing the rice. But it was still nice. 

Lamb Burrito

Fries. We all loved fries. It's kind of a guilty pressure food. Here, they serves 2 types of fries. Normal & Kumara fries. Kumara fries is fries made from sweet potato instead of normal potato. The sweet potatoes goes perfectly well with the cheese sauce. 

Kumara Fries

Finally, the churros. Like i mention before, almost everywhere have this dessert. They've made a near perfect churros here. No excessive oil & they didn't put any sugar on it. So it won't be overly sweet when dipped into the Nutella dip given. The crust was crunchy with soft inside. The cinnamon flavor well infused in these churros.

Churros

So far their opening hours stretches until midnight with 7 days a week operating hours. Do follow their instagram for more update.

Cowboys Food Truck & Thyme Out (Revisit) at SS15

What's up, folks. 

It's been awhile since i last ate anything from Cowboys Food Truck until recently they introduced a new dish on their menu. For my previous visit to Cowboys Food Truck, you can click herehere, and here. To keep track on their movement, be sure to follow them on their instagram. The dish they just introduced recently was Cowboys BBQ cheeseburger. Customer can choose patty of their choice, 120 grams of homemade beef patty or chicken chop. Other dishes remain the same. 

Upgraded menu

Their burger was quite simple. Sesame bun, 120 grams australian beef patty, bbq sauce, cheese, chipotle mayo & shredded lettuce & cabbage. Accompanied by corn chips with cheese sauce. The cheeseburger is quite good. The patty surprisingly soft & less dense than other place. Some people might not like it though but i'm quite fond of it. This cheeseburger powered by the homemade BBQ sauce & chipotle mayo. The patty seasoned well & combined well with other flavors.

Cowboys BBQ Cheeseburger

Just a few walks away from Cowboys Food Truck, you will find Thyme Out food truck. Once in awhile, they also will have a new menu pop up but mostly seasonal. For my previous visit, click here. You can track them via their instagram. Currently they have BBQ chicken for offer. Tacos has always been my favorite so after the recommendation from the staff, I ordered BBQ chicken tacos. While i still favor lamb tacos over the new BBQ chicken tacos, it was still good. Succulent grilled chicken pieces with sweet & spicy bbq sauce, it was really good. Served on a bed of salad compilation & warm soft tortilla. 

BBQ Chicken Tacos

Be sure to follow them so that you won't miss out on them. They are available for catering as well. Imagine, your kenduri serving tacos, burgers, yummeh!

Thyme Out Food Truck

Hola folks.

My first experience of taco came like a year ago when i went to PJ Old Trafford food court to watch football with my mates. There was a small stall named Thyme Out selling tacos & wraps. Even though it was small, but the food amazingly sold out before 9 or 10 pm! Fast forward to this year, I found out that Thyme Out now have their own food truck & going around selling tacos. After months of tracking them down, I managed to catch up to them stopping by at SS15 market. 

After a brief chat with the owner, they claimed that the stall no longer there in PJ Old Trafford & they plan to setup a restaurant in SS15 in near future. Not many changes on the menu minus the quesadillas. Taco is still largely active in the menu.

The menu

I've tasted plenty of tacos besides thyme out. From Chilli's to that taco stall in IPC, i felt thyme out still serve one of the best taco in town. Their Lamb Taco Box is the best. Homemade tomato taco sauce with shredded lettuce, onions, shredded lamb & aged cheddar, it was match made in heaven. The sauce have a bit of heat & the flavor just explode inside your mouth after a bite. The lamb was perfectly marinated & cooked until tender & soft. All of these ingredients sit on a bed of warm tortilla bread.

To track them & not to miss them, be sure to follow them on their Thyme Out instagram for movement & update. Good luck hunting them down!

Las Carretas at Taipan, USJ 10

Hola, como estas?

Recently I had a dinner with a friend of mine & he fancied for some mexican. Since he lived nearby USJ 10, I suggested Las Carretas & we went there for dinner & catching up. This will be my second entry after my first entry. 

Chimichanga has been on my mind ever since I played Deadpool game. I never thought it was actually a mexican food. lol. I ordered chimichanga while my friend ordered Beef Fajitas. 

The mexican menu

US based TGI Friday & Chili's are famous for their fajitas as well & Las Carretas' fajitas not far behind. The beef was soft & tender, sizzled on a bed of onions & peppers. Comes with 2 piece of warm soft tortilla bread, a scoop of mexican rice, avocado & cheese. 

Beef Fajitas

As for Chimichanga, it was made of crispy filo pastry filled with cheese, minced beef & tomato salsa sauce with shredded cabbages. Served with mexican rice & salad on top of a homemade tomato gravy. It was quite good. The homemade filling was full of flavors. The outer shell of pastry was crunchy like popia goreng. lol. 


Chimichanga that will make Deadpool shed his tears

While many food trucks recently emerged serving mexican food like tacos & burritos, here is the place where you can experience other mexican food.

Babarittos, Pasta la Pasta, On the Wheel Food Truck & Conforto Coffee at Caravan Carnival

Hiya folks.

Here's a continuation from the previous post of my recent trip to Caravan Carnival. As I've mentioned before, there are few food trucks operating during the carnival. The trucks are Babarittos, Pasta la Pasta & On the wheel. I've visited Pasta la Pasta last month & made a review on it here

Both babarittos & Pasta la Pasta operating around setapak area during normal days. Babarittos normally park at curbside near Columbia Hospital at PV16. Their specialty are mexican food. They're using a maroon colored food truck so it is easy to spot. Here during the carnival, they bring a bus! Food Bus perhaps? New trend? lol

Babarittos

The menu

This was the menu during the event. We quickly made our mind & ordered burritos. You have the option for beef or chicken. The burritos made of seasoned minced beef, salad, cheese wrapped with soft warm tortilla. It was pleasant but not close to the original as some key ingredients are missing but still nice & fulfilling. You can check their update via their instagram.

Babarittos Burritos

Next is Pasta la Pasta. It's not that often i've seen them during event or perhaps i didn't go much to any event with them in. After eating food with milk based, i decided to go for something lighter. So i ordered their aglio olio with seafood. The pasta was nicely done, full of garlic but a bit tad salty & spicy. But spicy is nice just probably less salty would be nicer. Anyway, you can follow them on their instagram.

Pasta la pasta

Last food truck we've tried was a truck just made their first event appearance called On the wheel. The operator told me it was his first try. Good luck to him & all the best. According to him, they will be operating at Taman Permaisuri. Go & check them out. 

On the Wheel

Not many on the menu so it was easy to make a choice. I always like buttermilk. So their Buttermilk chicken chop was my picked. The chicken chop was cooked nicely; succulent & tender but i have a mixed feeling about the breaded. The herbs, seasoning & spices they used makes it tasted like.....a maruku. lol. The brown gravy a bit watery but you can have it without the gravy. 

On the wheel Buttermilk chicken chop

Lastly, introducing my friend, Padil very own Conforto Coffee. Last time he used to open a stall near Setiawangsa Lrt station & PV20 but now he busy joining events. As usual, track him on conforto coffee instagram for more updates. His menu mostly on coffee but now, coconut shake was added as well! The shake was nice. No, i never had kelebang's but this was good as well. 

Conforto Coffee Coconut Shake & free soda on the house

Conforto Coffee. Yup, that's him. 

He said he's in the process of finding a truck so hopefully we'll see Conforto Coffee truck soon. Kudos to him! yay!

SchneeBallen at Caravan Carnival

What's up people?

Last weekend, there was a carnival held at Bukit Jalil Stadium, Parking B area called Caravan Carnival. The organizer of this carnival was joined last minute by Makan Feastival under Foodhunter festival organiser which was supposed to be held on the same day at Setia City Park but moved for unknown reason. Anyway, there was quite a few trendy stalls opened selling shirts, giving haircuts, latest tudungs & food. Not a lot of vendors compared to the previous event with some of the vendors are familiar faces from before. 

There are food trucks as well. We arrived during lunch time but not many crowd yet. I guess the hot weather nowadays played some part which drove people more towards shopping mall rather than outdoor. The first thing that caught my eyes was SchneeBallen. Snow ball when translated into english from germany. According to the seller, this pastry famous in Korea & hailed from Germany. 

The snow balls

The balls were made of homemade biscuit, rolled into a ball before baked till golden crisp. Then dip into any flavor. Quite a number of flavors to choose from which most of them chocolate oriented. 

The menu

To eat it, do not remove the ball from the original packaging. You must smash the ball inside the packaging using a wooden hammer, or lesung batu if you don't have any hammer. Do not smash it too much otherwise it will turn to crumbs. 

The packaging

After smashed.

Here's a video of me smashing the ball. lol


Yup, that's me. 

The best thing about this pastry that it was locally made & produced by Felda. According to the seller, they have a shop dedicated for this pastry at i-city, Shah Alam. So peeps, go & get your schneeballen!

Big Hug Burger & Curbside Cantina Food Trucks

Hiya folks,

After quite awhile of hunting, I finally managed to catch up with both Curbside Cantina & Big Hug burger food truck. Both of these truck made an appearance at the last food hunters festival which I didn't managed to taste their food. But that changed when both of these trucks appeared during the recent Russell Peters tour at Shah alam. 

I'm not sure about Big Hug Burgers operating locations but you can check their updates by following their instagram. As for Curbside Cantina, they usually at Bangsar but now also at TTDI KL. Do follow their instagram @curbsidecantinakl for updates. Big Hug Burgers as per their name specialized in gourmet burger while Curbside Cantina more on Mexican food. During the tour, not all dishes on the menu are present, only a selected few survived. We came early like 6 pm so there wasn't much people around yet. 

Big Hug Burger menu

Curbside Cantina menu

After browsing both menu, I ordered Cheesy Chicken Burger from Big Hug Burger & Beef & Mushroom Quesadillas & Chicken Quesa-Tacos from Curbside Cantina. I enjoyed the burger. Deep fried breaded chicken sandwiched between charcoal buns with cheese sauce. It was nice with the chicken cooked perfectly & the breaded nicely seasoned. 

Cheesy Chicken Burger (RM 12)

I've been eyeing Curbside Cantina's tacos since the first time i laid my eyes on them on their instagram. There are some of the dishes missing out on the menu but I guess that will be enough for another visit. The Beef & Mushroom Quesadillas was quite different from other quesadillas i've eaten before. The design was more like a tacos but tasted very nice. Loads of cheese & chunky beef inside the warm tortilla bread. Beef cooked nicely till tender. This dish came with malaysian very own papadom with a dipping sambal. 

Beef & Mushroom Quesadillas (RM 15)

The tacos somehow a bit different as well. The chicken was cooked like a chicken picatta with some egg with onions & smothered with homemade sauce. It was pleasant as well. Very different from your normal tacos. 

Chicken Quesa-Tacos (RM 12)

Definitely worth the trip for me plus brazing the heavy rain. Will definitely hunt them down again soon.

Food Trucks & Sangkaya at The School, Jaya One

Good Day Folks.

As we all might have known, food trucks around Klang Valley are everywhere. Some operated in subang, damansara & even Bangsar. Some of us might not have the chance to catch them on their normal operating hours (lunch time & dinner time) due to distance, location & even traffic. But what if I told you, there is a day that almost all food trucks gather at one spot for specific of time every week? Instead of driving around from place to place for different food truck, you can get them all under one roof. Then head down to Jaya One every Sunday starting lunch time till onwards to catch those food trucks!

Jaya One is a compilation of building blocks housing offices, mall & cafes. Situated there is Malaysia very first enrichment mall called The School. Food Trucks gathered there in front of the main entrance every Sunday. To get more info on which trucks are available, follow them on their Facebook/Instagram. Besides food truck, there are also stalls selling homemade food & cafes. Plenty of option for food goers. 



There are total of 5 food trucks on my previous visit; Cowboy Food Truck, Bubble Tea, OMFJ, Wheeloaf & Dr. Mak Rony. Me & my friend only managed to try 3 food trucks. We had Chuck Norris & Chic Tacos from Cowboy Food Truck, Mighty beef Panini special from Wheeloaf & Berry Burst from OMFJ. 

Chuck Norris (RM 19.90)

Chic Tacos (RM 12.90)

Previously at Wheeloaf, i tried their grilled cheese sandwich which left me with good memories. This time around I ordered their Panini Special. Since we already had chicken tacos, we decided to go for Mighty Beef; shredded BBQ beef with salad, aged cheddar cheese sandwiched between panini bread then toasted to perfection. It was quite good. Panini was soft yet crisp. Served with crispy nachos drizzled with cheese sauce. 

Mighty Beef (RM 13.90)

For drinks, since it was a hot day, we decided to go for cold pressed juice at OMFJ. I've heard about this truck but never had the chance to try. OMFJ stands for Oh My Fruit Juice, i think & they serves mainly juice. After browsing the menu, I decided to go for their large Berry Burst.


The menu

Berry Burst made of Bananas, Ginger, Strawberries & Oranges. It was refreshing indeed with no added sugar plus all those fibers from the fruits. All fruits combined well.

Berry Burst (RM 9)

After finishing your meal, why not save some space for a dessert. On a hot day, ice cream would be good. Luckily, Sangkaya branch just located nearby like 30 seconds walk from the school. Easy to spot if you know Salf N' Koffie cafe. 



Here is not crowded plus with plenty of parking space. As for the mall, don't expect too much of it. No designer shop like MNG. For foodies, plenty of option.
