Two Sydney food trucks have hit the
streets in the last few weeks. But there is one food truck that I've been
eyeing ever since the news of these mobile restaurants came out. The truck
known as Tsuru Food Truck is soon to deliver Sydney with mouth watering modern
Asian dishes. They have Asian inspired dishes ranging from half-moon
Chinese steamed buns filled with pork belly to delicious food in sticks like
chicken satay skewers. The steamed buns are pillow like, sweet and very tasty.

Ellyn Tse is the creative head
chef/proprietor of Tsuru. She is also affiliated with a non-profit organisation
called Eat.Drink.Give. It is an organisation that helps the less fortunate in
the community. They both have collaborated in the past to host food events that
raised proceeds to provide dining experiences to the disadvantaged in the
community.
Tsuru and Eat.Drink.Give have once again
joined forces and hosted a pop up event last Friday, 15 June 2012 held at
Bocata Spanish Deli. Tsuru served an array of dishes that would definitely whet
anyone’s appetite (ranges from $3.50 to $4.50):
 |
| Pork belly bun |
The pork
belly bun is their signature dish. A soft Chinese half-moon bun filled with
pork belly and pickles. The pork belly is very tender with a light sweet
caramelised taste followed by flavours from aromatic spices towards the end. The
pickles and coriander adds a soft accent and balance to the dish.
 |
| Crispy fried chicken bun |
My favourite dish of the night was the crispy fried chicken bun. The contrast
of a crispy battered fried chicken fillet and soft Chinese bun works very well.
The special mayo drizzled on the chicken gives a creamy texture and tangy taste
to the dish. It is seriously awesome!
 |
| Barbecue beef with kimchi |
 |
| Chicken satay skewers |
The chicken
satay skewer is amazing! It is an Indonesian style chicken satay barbecued
over charcoal. It had a smoky and light peanut taste. It is very tender and
flavourful.
 |
| Pandan and peanuts martabak |
The pandan
and peanuts martabak manis (sweet martabak) is absolutely mind blowing! It
is a thick pancake-like sweet dish. In this version, the martabak is flavoured
with pandan. The martabak has a peanut filling that leaves your mouth with a
nice after taste almost like nutella.
I can’t wait until Tsuru’s truck is set
in motion! I also look forward to try the onigiris and other dishes they have
to offer. To find out the latest news on Tsuru Food Truck, follow them on
