My wife and I have a running tradition: when it's time to decide where to eat, we enter a highly competitive round of "I don't care, you pick." It usually lasts longer than a Marvel movie. But when we find out Malah Kita is going to be at The Exchange on Broadway, the decision becomes instant. No debate. No back-and-forth. Just a two-word answer: Malah. Kita.
This Filipino food truck isn't just good--it's stop-talking-mid-bite-to-make-happy-noises good. Every dish I've tried has been an explosion of flavor, comfort, and culinary brilliance. Whether it's their perfectly crisp lumpia, rich adobo, or whatever magic they're working that day, Malah Kita is serving up food that would make your Lola proud.
And let me talk about the customer service--these folks are genuinely kind, quick with a smile, and clearly passionate about what they do. It's like being served by family (the ones you actually like).
They're not open every day (which is probably good for my wallet and cholesterol), but when they roll up to The Exchange, it's a full-on event. The food truck lot starts buzzing, and a ton of Filipino families show up--which honestly tells you everything you need to know. If the local Filipino community is showing up in droves, you know this place is the real deal. I felt like I had stumbled into a food-filled family reunion, and I was totally here for it.
So, if you happen to see Malah Kita is setting up shop nearby, cancel your plans, tell your stomach to prepare itself, and just go. Your taste buds will thank you, your indecisive spouse will thank you, and you might even make some new friends in line.
Salamat, Malah Kita. You've ruined other food trucks for me in the best way possible.This is a food read more
