Meat & Potatoes from The Lime Truck
Lumpia from the White Rabbit Truck
Jambalaya from Crazy Creole Cafe
Rum cake from Crazy Creole
Tropical Shave Ice

Martin took off to Lake Forest Lanes and I met up with Karen at Los Alamitos. My in laws John & Lisa met me there and had Lomo Arigato (not pictured).

The Lime truck had “Meat & Potatoes” which was a very rare steak served over truffled garlic mashed potatoes. The White Rabbit also was there and I FINALLY got my order of pork lumpia (it only took 4 attempts) and split it (with an order of Lomo noodles) with Karen.

Johnny was there and he ordered the jambalaya from Crazy Creole Cafe. The order took twenty minutes, but he forgave them since they were a new truck. He also picked up the Jack Daniel cake for dessert.

For me, I’m not that adventurous. I kept to my Melona-Vanilla Tropical Shave ice.
