Yay for real Thai food! Or almost?…read more Love the shrimp pad thai, generous serving and big shrimps - although the crab fried rice had a mix of frozen veggies (corn, peas, carrots and beans) that I'm not used to seing in the land of smiles. It was bland without adding your own soy sauce and really needs more fish sauce. For 10$ a portion, it is a fair price and a step up from your food court asian cuisine however it was lacking a certain flare. Being part Thai and having lived/traveled in and around the country, the food was good but didn't quite bring me back to what I was used to. More seasoning, spice, lemongrass and cilantro please!

Summertime in Montreal means food trucks, festivals and terrasses! Lucky for us Montrealers food…read moretrucks are easy to come by so sampling them is easy. Today's food truck experience was Chaud Dogs which specializes in gourmet hot dogs as you might guess from its name. These aren't your average hot dogs and are definitely worth trying. I opted for the chili dog and fries and neither disappointed. The chili used was nicely seasoned and added a good flavour to the hot dog. The homemade sausage also was pretty good and miles better than any usual hot dog you'll ever get. My one complaint is that the bun is a little small which makes the hot dog difficult to eat as they really stuff it with toppings and the sausages are fairly large to begin with. that being said though I'd be very willing to go back to this food truck again.

Another day, another food truck to try. This time around, I biked over to the George-Etienne…read moreCartier statue on the slope of Mont-Royal to give Chaud Dogs a try. Chaud Dogs is, as one could probably guess based on their name, a truck that specializes in gourmet hot dogs. Everything they use is 100% homemade - be it the handmade sausages themselves down to the mustard and ketchup they use. They have a focus on using seasonal ingredients and a desire to support local farmers through local markets. An awesome concept that I believe we can all certainly get behind. On this day, the truck was offering a homemade corn dog, a 'Wu Dog", black bean salsa, house fries, bottled water and a Lemon Thyme soda. While there was some temptation to try everything, I held off and decided to stick to the two dogs for this particular visit. If the dogs held up, then I would be back at some point to try the side-dishes. First up, the Chaud Dog corndog. A nice housemade play on the classic pogo. The sausage itself was quite good and the corn batter around it had a slight sweetness. The batter had a nice crisp to it on the outside but was thick enough to be nice and moist inside. Add to that homemade ketchup and mustard on top and you have a solid offering. If you don't like pogos, I don't think this will change your mind but for the rest of us, this corndog will do quite nicely. Secondly, the "Wu Dog". A very unique Asian-inspired play on the standard hot dog. Here you have a grilled sausage with a sesame/poppy seed bun, marinated carrots and Daikon radish,crispy chicken skin and hoisin sauce as a condiment. Big winner for me on this day. Each individual component was well done and created interesting contrasts in terms of both texture and flavours. In particular, the use of the marinated vegetables and hoisin sauce really added a lot for me. I loved the chicken skin but honestly their presence made it hard to actually bite into the hot dog as one would want to do. I ended up eating most of it separately and leaving myself smaller pieces to actually bit into on top of the hot dog. Regardless, a very creative option to be offering in this truck. Two for two so far in my food truck experiences this year. Love the fully housemade concept, the creativity and the flavours that Chaud Dogs brings to the party. If one is craving a good hot dog, Chaud Dogs is definitely one you want to look for this summer in the street of Montreal! Cheers!

My first taste of "Fous" happened at the food truck gathering last friday. It was the first truck I ordered from since it was right by the entrance and there was no line up -perhaps it was the anticipation build up and my hunger that helped turn this 7$ croissant into of the one best light snacks I've ever had. Yes, it's pricey, although this is something I'd only have at special events. There's something fun about ordering from a truck! I was hoping they would serve up their classic ham or bacon creations but I opted for the mediterranean (sundried tomatoes, ricotta cheese, basil) which was a perfect mix. The croissant is nice and flakey on the outside, tender and buttery inside- Great blend of salty and sweet. I'm looking forward to trying more from their menu, this is a must if you're visiting the food truck event at the Olympic Stadium, I love how light and flavorful this is, leaving room for all the other trucks on my to-eat check list. Bonus: they take debit/credit cards.

I had wanted to try raclette for some time now, so when the Boîte à Fromages food truck stopped by…read moremy neighbourhood, I jumped on the occasion. It was dinner time and there was a big line up. I think the owners we still training part of the team, but some more experienced members were working at a fast pace. We ordered the classic raclette (8$), which consists of roasted potatoes covered in melted Oka cheese and topped with cornichons and pickled silverskin onions. The truck had about 4 wheels of cheese melting on rotation, but I don't think it was enough to keep up with their own popularity. We received 2 scrapes of cheese. The first wave of melting goodness looked great (but very pale); the second one was barely soft. As a result, the relatively small amount of melted cheese cooled down rapidely and didn't coat the potatoes as well as expected. Also, the latter were a bit dry. Overall a good experience, but the limitations of the food truck and the overwhelming crowd somewhat lessened it. Anyhow, I am now a raclette fan! Update: props to the girl who sent out our order - she was still working at 11 PM yesterday! What a trooper!

If you that food truck you wont be disappointed by the quality of the ingredients and the melted cheese miam. A bit pricey but worth trying it!
