In Vancouver, people hear the music first \u2013 \u201cThe Blue Danube\u201d by Johann Strauss II \u2013 then see a red, white and blue patterned truck pulling up shortly after.<\/p>\n

As impossible as it may seem, that can mean only one thing for people from Hong Kong \u2013 a Mister Softee truck<\/span> is in town. Or is it?<\/div>\n
Although it is not the same beloved ice cream dispenser \u2013 renamed Mobile Softee in 2010 \u2013 found in Hong Kong, Watt A Truck looks remarkably similar and offers nostalgic soft-serve<\/span> ice cream.<\/div>\n

\u201cWe wanted the truck to look like the Hong Kong truck; otherwise, there\u2019s no point,\u201d says co-founder Wayne Poon Wing-tai, 35, who immigrated to Canada from Hong Kong in 2009.<\/p>\n

Poon says he and his business partners had considered launching a truck for some time. It took about a year to bring the idea to life and secure the necessary licences.<\/p>\n

Watt A Truck made its debut in early May at the Vancouver Hong Kong Fair, an annual weekend event celebrating Hong Kong culture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
