Howdy Pahiatua and Friends!
Here’s the goodies coming your way this Friday night! But first up … a BIG thanks from the trucks to the Shearman Family who kindly let us use their lot for our wee community market - much appreciated!
Right, onto the foody stuff:
:-) Delectable, finger-slurping hangi cooked to perfection is The Real Deal Frybread & Hāngi's speciality. And that’s not all, there’s their famous fry bread plus spiced pumpkin and caramel sauce pudding too (OMG). Can life get any better? Yes it can because it’s all served by their ever-smiling (often giggly) team!
:-) Your favourite grill truck, Toastie Boy cooks chicken and beef to perfection, adds fresh, crunchy salad and then does cunning things like adding chips (with his secret seasoning) and cheese or popping it all in a wrap if that is what you fancy. He’s got heaps of yummo dressings - take your pick! Oh, and if you’re nuts about Baklava ('scuse the pun), grab a slice with your order.
:-) Oh la la! The dynamic duo at Excuse My French - The Crepe Makers return with their authentic sweet and savoury fabulous French crepes. Select from the menu of 20 options or create your own … how about a buttery, citrusy Crepe Suzette (flambeed as it should be), a scrummy ham, cheese and tomato crepe or maybe a creamy caramel with banana and chocolate? For every (small or big) kid they also have Nutella ... C’est magnifique!
:-) Dovecote House Roaming Kitchen returns and boy oh boy Nate's got some new tricks up his sleeve with some fab new gourmet burgers like chicken+bacon with Dovecote apricot and capsicum chutney or fish fillet and tartare with Dovecote zucchini relish … yummo! As well as his usual goodies don’t forget if your hankering for a real fruit ice-cream, Dovecote’s your truck of choice.
:-) If you’re looking for exceptional Thai food, you simply can’t go past Tuss’s Tucker - Tasty Thai Fusion. Dermot and Tuss will have their trailer loaded to the gunnels with your favourite curries, pad Thai, roti, skewers, dumplings, wontons, spring rolls, stir fries and (here it comes) pork belly with apple slaw (seriously). Thoughtfully they have GF and VG options available, nice of them eh?
:-) The world’s a better place because of tacos and if you’ve never tried one, make this week the week you do. Lulus' Taqueria takes tender braised meats and tops them with pickled red onion, homemade salsa and fresh coriander and (wait for it) serves it in a crunchalicious deep-fried taco! Holey moley! There’s also scrummy smash burgers, spicy bean nachos (loaded or nakey) PLUS Lulu has GF and veg options available. Arriba!
:-) If tender, succulent BBQ’d brisket and pulled pork on toasted broiche buns or on roast spuddies (made properly with olive oil and garlic if you please) OR (brace yourself) on mac ’n’ cheese (swooning!) accompanied by homemade sauces, chilli mayo, pickles and cheese are what you desire, then Flame 'N' Flavour is the truck for you! But that’s not all, there’s also pork ribs, nachos and other tasty bits to pick from.
:-) Your local caterer, The Hungry Giraffe, will be open this Friday night in the hut! They’re famous in the region for their speciality desserts and fudges to-die-for but who know what they might have up their sleeve this week … maybe it’s their fabulous take-home-to-heat-and-eat pizzas?
