To me, food trucks are an extension to the ever growing hipster café scene. But while those cafés are stuck to their chosen locations, ideal or otherwise, these mobile food trucks go where the crowd is.

Therefore, while most of the time these trucks can be found at the road junction of Persiaran Greentown 3 in Greentown Business Centre, Ipoh just outside DiGi Store, they have to follow a schedule, similar to the weekly night markets. According to this arrangement, they are located in other sections of Ipoh, too.

You may ask, so, how does one know where these trucks will be on a specific day? Well, powered by social media, their locations are updated on the go on Instagram and Facebook.
