Out & About #124 | AwesTRUCK Festival

8/29/2015

 
For one of this week's most highly-advertised food truck/music event in Mississauga, details were few on the Mississauga website. Nonetheless, I decided to drop by to see what the event had to offer; while parking was scarce, I was lucky enough to find free parking from the normally fully-occupied parking lot directly across from Celebration Square.

Live band performances had kicked off when I arrived, but rather than staying to admire their musical talent, I headed straight towards the food trucks.
Chimneys had also happened to be present at Sweetery two weeks back, though I hadn't had the chance to try one of their unique, spiraled creations at the time.  They were offering both sweet (coconut and cinnamon sugar) and savoury (oil & herbs and cheddar) options; I went with the Cinnamon Sugar Chimney, sans-filling.

There was, virtually, no lineup, and only two people were ahead of me in terms of orders. However, the hollow, pull-apart stack didn't reach my hands until some five to six minutes later. I appreciated that each member of staff put effort into making sure that the finished product was of quality, though efficiency was a factor that could have definitely been improved upon.

The "roll" was thoroughly baked to ensure a fluffy interior and slightly warm exterior whose crispiness would last for hours. The product concept was great - Chimneys could be eaten while taking a leisurely stroll, and shared as a small snack. The only downsides were that the cinnamon sugar had a tendency to cause sticky fallouts, and that the amount being sprinkled on was a bit excessive for my liking. After my first bite, I was glad that I didn't opt in for Nutella or Cream Cheese Icing.
That being said, though, I'm still rather tempted to have a go at their savoury options next time they're back.

I proceeded to munch on the Chimney while taking in the rest of the food trucks in attendance.

Buster's Sea Cove was an unfamiliar name, but their seafood tacos sounded interesting enough to try; I ordered the Ahi Tuna and Fish Tacos to take back home with me.

Once unboxed, I was stunned to find that the tacos were incredibly tiny. Even their combined size was still much more insignificant than a standard taco. The Ahi Tuna Taco included three excessively thin slices of ahi tuna placed atop a coleslaw-like mixture, all enveloped in a soft, untoasted pita-like wrapper. The Fish Taco utilized a tempura-sized piece of battered haddock in place of the Ahi Tuna, though both had the same base mixture and frugal portion of salsa topping. While both were indeed flavourful, the process of consumption proved to be unnecessarily messy. I can therefore conclude that forking over another ten dollars for the these ungenerous amounts of soggy "tacos" would be a very uninformed decision.

Until the next food event!
