you're so sweet

Yes Please from Creme Brulee Cart:
I was initially beyond excited at the food truck craze that is happening in San Francisco. I love eating on the street, better yet if the food is on a stick. But then with the more trucks I sampled, the more disappointed I became. Street food should be as street food is in Asia - cheap, unpretentious, unfussy, but mouth-watering and satisfying. San Francisco food trucks generally offer up small portions at restaurant prices. If I have to spend $10 for half a meal, why not just go to a sit-down place? Especially Asian food trucks - come on! But then every once in a while, something restores my faith. On Friday after lunch I saw via Twitter that the Creme Brulee truck was in front of City Hall, so I walked over, stood in line and ordered myself a Yes Please, which is a creme brulee concoction of nutella and strawberries. I ended up eating it as a mid-afternoon snack. And holy moly - YES PLEASE indeed!!! Nutella and strawberries go together like Fred and Ginger - it was kind of like a little magic under a sugar layer. I honestly was sad when I finished it off. It most definitely left me wanting to hunt down the next appearance of the Creme Brulee truck. No, at $4 a pop - it's not Asia cheap, but it's totally worth it. A

Cha Cha from Eggettes:
Cha Cha is a red bean dessert soup with taro, tapioca and a bunch of other stuff in it. Eggettes' Cha Cha is delicious - loaded with ingredients and just sweet enough. They give you a little container of evaporated milk to mix in. By the way, the eggettes and drinks (I like the fruit freezes and the lychee hot milk tea) are also quite wonderful here. A-
