Char Char Food Truck

Food trucks seem to be all the rage recently. Char Char Bar and Grill is from Woollongong, but recently they have a food truck which goes to different parts of Sydney (unlike other food trucks), which is a high plus for me in the Hills area. Last week they were in Norwest/Bella Vista, and I was finally free that night to drive up there.

that line at 5:45pm (they opened at 6pm)

Service was quick and efficient. They ended up opening 10mins earlier, and waiting for the food only took about 5mins after ordering. Mainly because everything is cooked and they just need to assemble/heat/pack it.

Ribs w/ chips-$15

You get a quarter of a rack (3 ribs), which isn't cheap for the price, considering ribs are around $20ish/kg, but then again it's a food truck, and it's obviously it's marinated. They provide you with bibs, wet wipes and tissues, but I ended up taking it home to eat since it started raining and there wasn't any shelter there. The ribs didn't have as much meat as I would have liked. The marinade wasn't as sweet or sticky compared to other ribs. Tasted earthy with more spices and not too salted. There is a difference compared to your normal ribs, but I think I prefer it with more sauce and a sweeter marinade. The chips were pretty bad unfortunately, way too oily, don't think they drained the oil when they deep fried it a second time.

Pulled Beef Burger-$10

Pretty expensive for a take-away food truck style burger, and it was very light in terms of weight as well. I was pleasantly surprised with these flavours in the beef. When they said there was chilli I was worried, but this definitely had a good hit of chilli which I could tolerate which enhanced the flavour of the sauce. It was quite saucy but not drowned in it. The coleslaw was nice and creamy as well, but would have preferred more veggies in it.
