Chomp Chomp Nation : Tofu Satay Skewers

Went to the Orange County Great Park's Farmer's Market last Sunday. If you can't find it...look for the big orange balloon. It's kind of hard to miss. =)

Look for the big orange balloon
I had read that there were many good tasting food trucks over there so I thought I'd check it out. There were vegetarian options at many of the trucks...but I decided to try the Chomp Chomp Nation More Than Singapore food truck. A lot of the picnic tables were taken so we just walked further away and sat on the grass. Bring a blanket if you wanna sit on the grass...it can be like a picnic. The trees were newly planted so didn't provide a lot of shade. It'll be a nice area when the trees grow up. There's also a fruit and vegetable garden next to the Farmer's Market that you can take a stroll through. You can grow almost anything in this wonderful SoCal weather.

Hibiscus Rose Tea with Lychee Jelly and Tofu Satay Skewers
The Hibiscus Rose Tea was pretty good. I liked it better than the meal. The Singapore Satay Skewers can be made with different meats but I chose the firm organic tofu of course. It came with their Tiger Slaw, Rice Cubes, and Satay Peanut Sauce.

Tofu Skewer over the Tiger Slaw
The tofu skewers themselves were pretty plain. The Tiger Slaw also wasn't too flavorful. I did like that the slaw was light and not strong in flavor. The Satay Peanut Sauce was good but a bit spicy for me because I am afraid of spicy food. It's probably just right for most people. If there were more peanut sauce then I think that would balance out the lack of flavor in the tofu. So a bit more sauce please! Oh I totally forgot about the rice cubes. Well, they're just rice squished into the shape of a cube...and I'm not into white rice...so...they're...kind of...eh.

The Meat-eater ate somewhere else so don't know if the meat dishes are better here. They may be?
