For the past few weeks, you've been reading about food trucks on Mondays, although they have all been savory offerings. I finally found a food truck offering something I like: desserts!
Pacific Puffs has a storefront on Union Street, plus a smaller space downstairs in the Westfield Mall, both of which I've walked by many times, yet somehow never stopped in. I guess cream puffs aren't generally what I gravitate towards, although Ojan really likes them.
Anyway, I finally got a chance to try one, when I stumbled across the food truck one day.
I opted for the "Classic Sugar" version, described as a "freshly baked choux pastry puff filled with a madagascar bourbon vanilla cream, dusted with powdered sugar" (the regular Classic has a chocolate glaze instead of powdered sugar).

The puff shell was fairly thin, resulting in a different ratio of shell to filling that I'm used to (more filling). You couldn't really taste the pastry itself, which was ok for me, since I often find choux pastry to be too eggy. The filling was creamy, but reminded me more of a vanilla pudding than standard cream puff filling.
Overall, it was fine, but not particularly remarkable. I don't feel compelled to venture into one of the stores now.
