Le Tigre food truck

Where I am located now there are very few food trucks, so this is a rare treat for me. I was on my way to pickup something from a friend who happens to work on Granville St. Right in front of his office was the Le Tigre food truck, so I decided to give it a try!

It is run by Clement Chan, one of the contestants from Top Chef Canada.

One thing about food trucks... None are cheap, and this is no exception, so be prepared to pay a little more from them. The good news is that most have much better quality cuisine than your standard food court restaurant.

I decided to order two things, starting off with the Popcorn chicken

This was a fried spicy boneless chicken with a chili mayo dip, pretty darn good, though was a bit greasy (left a big pool of grease at the bottom of the container). Similar to Taiwanese fried chicken nuggets but with his original spices.

The "Kick Ass" rice with Pork belly and a poached egg.

I feel my arteries harden! This is definitely a luxurious dish with fatty braised pork belly, a perfectly poached egg & a topping of spicy mayo. A tasty dish but the pork belly was way too fatty.... I know your probably screaming at me saying that pork belly is supposed to be super fatty! But I seemed to get only the super "lardo" pieces with very little meat on them, but the meat that was there was pretty good, the egg was perfectly poached. Needed more rice though (I'm a bit of a rice addict).

Overall this meal cost me $14, a bit much for a quick lunchtime meal, but worth it if you go out for lunch as rarely as I do.
