Hot Summer Nights Are For Eating Outside. When the nighttime temperatures are in the 70’s, enjoying a meal outdoors is one of those things that we love to do. Tonight’s al fresco dinner came courtesy of the Momolicious food truck  -- part of Friday Nights at OMCA (the Oakland Museum of California). This was the perfect excuse to not turn on the oven tonight. . Momolicious makes Nepali momo, chicken curry, and chow mein. Tonight I chose the all vegetable version of the Kathmandu Momo (Steamed Momo served with their special tomato, cilantro, and Sichuan pepper sauce). The handmade dumpling had just the right chew. Not too thick and not too thin. The spices in the filling came through beautifully and included cumin, cilantro, and I think I tasted a little clove minced in with the Sichuan pepper sauce. All together, it felt like a nice warm hug for my taste buds. . There were a few dipping sauces to go along with the dishes. I chose the soy sauce -- because that’s who I am -- and the bright orange Momo Sauce. That Momo Sauce was so good, I used my finger to wipe out the inside of the small portion cup sized container. . It looks like they will be at next week’s (9/20) Fridays at OMCA, so keep an eye out for the big red truck and grab some momo to share, or like I did, to devour yourself. #SWSEats  #Eat Local #fridaysatomca #offthegridoakland #omcafridays #oaklandeats @momolicious.sf @oaklandmuseumca @offthegridsf (at Oakland Museum of California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2YJuDHBTX8/?igshid=99hf778us90s

The part of Oakland you don't see. It's not all bad. Off the Grid. #offthegridoakland (at Off the Grid-Lake Merritt)
