Phamish

A few months back, Phamish tweeted a Downtown LA lunch stop and the chasers and I were on our mark to go on the hunt. Unfortunately, they ended up not being able to make it, which left us sad and hungry. I was finally able to catch up with them at the Food Trucks for Haiti event.



I love that they did this to help the cause that much more.

Here is their delicious menu filled with Vietnamese awesomeness.

I really really wanted to try their pho, but chasing around a 2 year old at a food truck event with a bowl full of hot liquid would have been bad. Ah, to be young and single again. ;)


Instead, I went with the Lemongrass Chicken Banh Mi.

Lemongrass chicken banh mi

The ingredients were fresh, the bread had just the right amount of crunch (read: it did not cut the roof of my mouth), and the lemongrass flavor of the chicken was on point. 'Twas scrumptious. My hubby, on the other hand, did not like it as much as Nom Nom Truck. But, he is not The Truck Chaser. I am. And we all know how "on point" his food critiques are. Yeah.

In all honesty, I think Nom Nom is a tad bit better. BUT, I didn't have to wait in line for an hour to get my Phamish banh mi. That definitely adds a lot to the experience.

Verdict:
Disclaimer: Please don't mind the disheveled look. Food truck events are friggin' stressful to navigate.

  1. My husband took a photo of the Nom Nom truck the other day and sent it to me. We are weird folk.

    Doesn't look too bad! I'm lucky I work in the land of $2.50 banh mi. ;)

  2. Where is the $2.50 banh mi? I think we work near each other. I need to find good banh mi on the cheap.
