Read the passage below and answer the questions.
Food trucks used to be somewhere fast to get meals for office workers in cities across the United States. The food used to be just average, certainly nothing to boast about. Food trucks were a matter of convenience, and usually offered inexpensive meals. At lunchtime in cities across the United States, workers lined up to order a sandwich and a canned soda. The meal rarely cost more than five dollars. They took their food and ate as they walked. Some workers would take their food back to their offices and eat in the company lunchroom or at their desks.
However, the food truck business is different in Malaysia. Unlike the United States which perceive food trucks as a convenient way to get more affordable food, this business has flourished in Malaysia as luxurious choices of food. They are no longer thought of as just fast food on wheels. The food trucks are considered a gourmet dining experience. There are food trucks selling cuisine from all over the world. There are food trucks that sell Japanese rice sets and snacks, as well as food trucks that sell lamb shanks. There are even food trucks that specialize in desserts. These dessert food trucks sell more than just the local kuih-muih. They sell cakes, pies, mochi (a Japanese confection). There are even cupcake trucks.
Food trucks have become so popular that many use social media to reach customers and create a fan base. Some food trucks use Instagram to let customers know what their menu for the day. Other food trucks use Facebook to let customers know on what corner they will be parked.
These clean food trucks, with their gourmet food and large fan base, are not a bargain anymore though. Rarely can you get a meal from a food truck for less than ten dollars. Some people think the price is worth the quality. Others just bring sandwiches from home.
