After the success of last year, the popular Night Noodle Market is back in Melbourne again, bigger than ever - with a new location and a lot more stalls! The best thing about the night markets is the plethora of hawker style food, great bar areas and the pretty lighting....I'm a massive sucker for some fairy lights!
We went along on Sunday night to check it out, I went prepared for the huge crowds and long wait times like last year, but I was pleasantly surprised. The organisers have definitely learnt from last year's mistakes, and this year, the market has been spread over 3 areas at Birrung Marr, has double the stalls and plenty of seating for everyone. Loved it! We are planning to drop by at least a few more times during the 17 night event.
Returning this year are the ever popular fine dining restaurants with stalls - Chin Chin, Izakaya Den and Longrain. Gelato Messina, Wonderbao and Malaysian restaurant Mamak have also returned.
Some of the new stalls joining the noodle market this year include:
- Kong: Serving up ginger and soy-dressed soba salad with pickled walnuts and steamed-then-roasted pork belly.
- Red Spice Road: South-East Asian food with a modern Australian twist.
- Charlie Dumpling: Makes its debut with a specially-made pork and ginger dumpling with black bean, chilli and lime, and fried chicken ribs.
- Mr Miyagi: Think Japanese fusions, including Nori Tacos and Miyagi Fried Chicken.
