The WOW food truck, or Window on Wheels, serves Filipino style dishes with a twist throughout the South Bay. The food truck specializes in silog, a traditional breakfast combination of sinangag (fried rice) and itlog (egg).

The WOW was founded a year and a half ago by chefs and co-owners Ronnie Hernandez and Tim Luymn. Both were first DJs but found their passion in cooking traditional Filipino-style dishes for a late-night audience. Hernandez and his girlfriend Crystal one day realized there were no places in San Jose for late-night Filipino cuisine so they used Hernandez’ family grocery store to serve dishes through the store’s grocery window. Luymn quickly became a fan Hernandez’s and helped to get the operation on wheels.
