It's almost been three years since the
first batch of food trucks rolled out in the city of Sydney. Since then, their
popularity has grown and more has joined the scene. My homie Alexander Wong (ex Chica Bonita Manly,
Queenies and China Lane) who we also know as Lex is the latest chef to join the
line up with Yang's Malaysian Food Truck.

Yang is actually derived from Lex's
Chinese name. It's a food truck that offers Malaysian dishes but in good ol'
fashion food truck style. Making dishes like Hainanese chicken rice more
portable and convenient to eat. Other hawker-style dishes with the Lex twist
are also available.

| Ramli slider |
First up, I tried the Ramli slider ($5) which is Lex's take on the renowned Ramly burger from Malaysia. It consists of juicy beef patty, fried
egg, cabbage, onion, worcestershire sauce and Maggi seasoning in sweet soft
milk bun. The patty was quite tasty and juicy but it was the pronounced Maggi
seasoning that makes this slider different from the Western burgers.

| Hainanese chicken wings with chicken rice balls |
The Hainanese
chicken wings with chicken rice balls ($6) was one of the dishes that I
really looked forward to and it did not disappoint! It was accompanied with the
classic ginger and chilli sauces. The chicken was perfectly poached and
succulent. The rice had the distinct chicken, ginger and garlic flavours.
Last but not least was the soft shell chilli crab with fried mantou
($7). The soft shell crab was cooked spot on and had that delicate crisped
soft with flavoursome soft innards. It was mind blowing! The fried mantou was
perfect to mop up the spicy, sweet and tangy tomato based sauce. Lex's
Singaporean chilli sauce had great depth of flavours.
Word is that there are more things to
come out of the Yang's Malaysian Food Truck! So stay tuned! Follow Chef Lex on Instagram
