Here is a shot of food truck. Like the bright red color of the truck, which stands out!

What is Momo? Momo is nothing but steamed dumpling filled with Vegetables or Meat. Fried momo, is pan fried with Sauce, with some bell peppers and cilantro for garnish.

Here is a shot of Fried Vegetarian MOMO with sauce. In fact this one I had at their restaurant in Saratoga, CA.

Here are the items on the Menu they serve in the food truck. As you can see there are several varieties of Momo and Indian chinese dishes on the Menu.

I ended up ordering Chicken Lollipop at the food truck.

Business is good at the food truck, generally there is a line to order the food, depending on your time of visit.

What is Chicken lollipop?

“Chicken lollipop is usually prepared using the middle segment of the chicken wing or thigh. The middle segment has one of the two bones removed, and the flesh on the segments is pushed to one end of the bone. These are then coated in a spicy red batter whose main ingredients include red chili powder, and turmeric. The marinated chicken is usually deep fried in oil” Then it is mixed with spicy sauce. With Cilantro used a s garnish. Lollipop was very tasty!
