There are many many many food and beverage options here! Each month brings a new flavor or theme, the only way to know what's good is to try them all! Emphasis on the "TRY" part!
Parking for the event is always difficult. There are two options for parking - one go early OR - two get dropped off (Lyft, Uber, aunty/uncle, siblings, etc) Be aware of the no parking signs, parking is enforced!
When you arrive at the location, it is nestled in between two Cutter Auto locations across from Mini Honolulu. I lost count, I assume there's around 20 or so food trucks/booths. Choosing the right one usually consists of visual "oooohs and ahhhss" or by the length of the line.
For this past Friday's Eat the Street, I selected the Bao Boys, Uncle's Kitchen, and La Roux.
I've been following Bao Boys for a while on IG, this was the first chance I got to sample their goods. Kim Jong Trill was sold out, so I opted for the OG and Lobstarr. OG - pork belly in a bao seasoned to perfection topped with raddish. Lobstarr - lobster meat in a toasted bao garnish with basil, chives, etc. All I can say is ONO! Lobstarr had me at the first bite!
Next up was Uncle's Kitchen. They presented several open face musubi options. I chose the musubi nachos. The sat in a bed of rice surrounded by several tempura battered nori. Good balance of textures, I especially enjoyed the crunch from the nori!
Finally I got to sample the sleeper. Everyone that's reading this must try La Roux! I ordered crab loaded garlic fries, it tastes exactly how it was described. I love crab meat, so that's why I chose it. They were passing out samples of the shrimp & crawfish etoufee. I'm glad I saved the best for last! It was not pretty, but the flavors were bursting! I attempted to figure out the ingredients, but I was too overwhelmed! In the words of the Terminator "I'll be back"!
All good things come to an end, but luckily there's always next month! I'll drop in for another visit. My stomach is waiting! For just my food pics - IG JayArghBee read more
