Momos get the spotlight at Momo Cook Truck, but the noodles are where a lot of regulars end up: wok-fried Hakka noodles and the rice-and-noodle mix called Triple Schezwan. Momo Cook Truck is a food truck on Fremont Boulevard in Fremont serving momos, Hakka noodles, Triple Schezwan and a handful of Indo-Chinese starters, all cooked when you order, according to its website. This guide explains how the two noodle dishes differ, which version to choose and what to order with them.
Hakka noodles and Triple Schezwan at a glance
Indo-Chinese food is the Indian take on Chinese cooking: wok-fried, saucy and usually spicier than Chinese takeout. Both noodle dishes at Momo Cook Truck come in veggie, egg or chicken versions.
| Dish | What the menu says | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Hakka Noodles | Street-style wok-fried noodles with cabbage, onion, carrots, green peas and spices | A classic noodle plate |
| Triple Schezwan | Rice and noodles mixed together in Schezwan sauce and fried with vegetables | A bolder, saucier mix |
Hakka Noodles: the street-style classic
Hakka noodles are the Indo-Chinese staple: noodles tossed in a hot wok with shredded vegetables. Momo Cook Truck describes its version as street-style wok-fried noodles with cabbage, onion, carrots, green peas and spices. Choose the protein that suits you:
- CHICKEN HAKKA NOODLES with chicken added to the wok.
- EGG HAKKA NOODLES with egg.
- VEGGI HAKKA NOODLES, which the menu labels vegan.
Order the Hakka noodles if:
- You want a simple, classic noodle plate.
- You prefer flavor from the wok and spices rather than a heavy sauce.
- You are pairing noodles with momos.
The vegan option
The VEGGI HAKKA NOODLES carry the menu’s vegan label and the same cabbage, onion, carrot and green pea mix. They are the easiest choice for vegan friends at the truck, and they pair well with a vegetable side from the menu.
Triple Schezwan: rice and noodles together
Triple Schezwan combines two starches in one dish: rice and noodles mixed together in Schezwan sauce and fried with vegetables, according to the menu. Schezwan sauce is the Indo-Chinese chili-garlic sauce, so this is the bolder, saucier of the two dishes.
- CHICKEN TRIPPLE SCHEZWAN with chicken.
- EGG TRIPPLE SCHEZWAN with egg.
- VEGGI TRIPPLE SCHEZWAN with mixed vegetables.
Order the Triple Schezwan if:
- You like a saucy dish with more heat and garlic.
- You want rice and noodles in one plate.
- You are very hungry and want the most filling noodle option.
Side by side
| Question | Hakka Noodles | Triple Schezwan |
|---|---|---|
| Base | Noodles | Rice and noodles together |
| Sauce | Wok-fried with spices | Schezwan sauce |
| Versions | Veggie (vegan), egg, chicken | Veggie, egg, chicken |
| Best for | A classic, lighter plate | A bold, filling plate |
What to order with your noodles
- CHICKEN MOMO or PANEER MOMO, steamed dumplings that come 8 pieces to an order with the truck’s house-made tomato, sesame and garlic sauce.
- VEGGI MANCHURIAN BALLS-SEMI GRAVY, Indo-Chinese vegetable balls in the truck’s house special sauce.
- HONEY CHILI POTATOES, fried potato fingers tossed in a sesame honey chili sauce.
- CHICKEN LOLIPOP, marinated and fried chicken drumettes.
- MANGO LASSI to drink.
If you are choosing between momos too, the truck’s guide to steamed, chili or fried momos explains the three styles.
Choosing your protein
Both noodle dishes come in three versions, so the choice of protein matters as much as the choice of dish:
| Version | Hakka Noodles | Triple Schezwan |
|---|---|---|
| Veggie | VEGGI HAKKA NOODLES (labeled vegan) | VEGGI TRIPPLE SCHEZWAN |
| Egg | EGG HAKKA NOODLES | EGG TRIPPLE SCHEZWAN |
| Chicken | CHICKEN HAKKA NOODLES | CHICKEN TRIPPLE SCHEZWAN |
Chicken is the heartiest choice, egg adds richness without meat, and the veggie versions keep the focus on the vegetables and the sauce. Only the VEGGI HAKKA NOODLES carry the vegan label on the menu, so that is the one to choose for a vegan order.
Ordering for a group
Indo-Chinese food is made for sharing. For three or four people, order one of each noodle dish, two orders of momos and a couple of starters, then put everything in the middle of the table:
- CHICKEN HAKKA NOODLES and VEGGI TRIPPLE SCHEZWAN for the noodles.
- CHICKEN MOMO and PANEER MOMO for dumplings.
- VEGGI MANCHURIAN BALLS-SEMI GRAVY and HONEY CHILI POTATOES as starters.
- MANGO LASSI for anyone who wants something cool to drink.
A meal for two
One noodle dish each, one order of momos to share and a side of HONEY CHILI POTATOES make a full Indo-Chinese meal: for example, CHICKEN HAKKA NOODLES and VEGGI TRIPPLE SCHEZWAN with CHICKEN MOMO in the middle of the table.
How to place the order
Order through the truck’s own ordering page. Ordering direct means the truck receives the full order, with no third-party app taking a commission.
