BKK78 STREET FOOD — REVIEW

Cabazon, CA

I first stumbled across this place on a casual shopping day at the mall. I was hungry, and the nostalgic comfort of mall food felt like a natural addition to an already great day.

At the time, I was trying to decide if I would have the bacon-wrapped hotdog at another stall, or the noodles from this one.

Stumped, I had both.

Hotdog in hand, I walked up to BKK78’s street food stall. I didn’t want any more protein because I thought it would clash with my double-protein hotdog, so I ordered BKK78’s Mala Noodle dish without protein.

I did NOT expect to enjoy it as much as I did.

The noodles were a chewy al dente. The sauce, spicy and sour, lightly coated the noodles for a pleasant mouthfeel. The veggies, crunchy and sweet after a fast, high-heat sautée completed both the flavor and texture profiles of the dish.

I came back to this outdoor mall at a later date, just for these noodles… I didn’t even shop! My order? Mala Noodle, hold the protein.

Well done, BKK78 Street Food!
