PM2 Kitchen

This review is specifically for the lunch box served by LaoDouLuWei. The lunch box is the traditional flavors of Taiwan. For $ 7.50 it comes with a stewed brown egg, sliced browned tofu, bamboo shoots, picketed cabbage and the main item of my choice stew pork shoulder on top of the rice. The portion was generous and flavors were spot on — it made me homesick. :’(I followed them closely and had ordered their other items before they started joint venture (?) with PM2 food truck. I’m going to be a regular so long as the locations are within my reach. I also loved that they use social media and technologies to accommodate paying with credit cards … Who carries cash nowadays?! Anyways… Big fan! Highly recommend it!

If there was a hoarders competition for grass jelly, I think my stomach would win 1^st place.
Grass jelly, git in mai belly! I absolutely LOVE grass jelly and of course, I’m picky about it. So when I heard of this place, I had high hopes for their grass jelly.
Expectations were somewhat met, the grass jelly was pretty good but not particularly the best I’ve ever had. I have to say that it’ll be best you can get in the area. So that’s good enough for me.
The taro and sweet potato mochi chunks were delicious and flavorful. I could actually taste the flavor of the root veggies. It was chewy but not too much, so my teeth were happy.
The soup itself was actually too sweet for me. I think the red beans make it taste even sweeter so that was a bit of a turn off for me. I had to add a few ice chunks to water it down and then it tasted perfect. They give you an extra side of syrup (?) but I didn’t need to use it.
For $ 4.5 for a large bowl of grass jelly with red bean, taro and sweet potato chunks, it’s a decent deal and I’m ALWAYS craving grass jelly soup desserts so I’m coming back whenever the truck is near work!

Love their taro ball grass jelly dessert!!!

Okay, I LOVE anything taro. ESPECIALLY taro balls! So when I heard about this food truck that served taro ball desserts, I drove 30 minutes to Milpitas just to try some!
I got #2, which had grass jelly, taro balls, and red bean. There was cream that was given on the side, but I personally didn’t put it on and thought it was sweet just as it was. At around $ 5, I thought it was pretty pricey, but the bowl is kind of big, so I guess.
The dessert was pretty yummy. The chewiness of the taro balls were kind of inconsistent in that some would be nice and chewy and some would be harder. Overall, I’d probably go back again because of my love for anything taro, but I wouldn’t RAVE about it.
They have a schedule of when and where you can find them on their website, so be sure to check it before you go! Currently, they are typically found only in the weekends. :)
