Last Wednesday we went to the Night Noodle Markets in Hyde Park, part of Sydney's International Food Festival, which is going on throughout October. There were various street-style Asian food stalls selling a variety of Chinese, Japanese and Thai food. Alongside this there was free Asian-style entertainment (although this mostly consisted of two men dressed up as a dragon, scaring little children!).
We managed to scramble our way through all the people to find a little Thai stall selling pad thai for $10; the queue was really long so we thought it was probably a safe bet that the food was good. After a hungry wait we finally got our food and went and sat down - it was nice, a little cold and not enough to satisfy our hunger though so we went on the hunt for dessert. I found the most amazing little stall selling sticky black rice, which is a Thai dessert a little bit like rice pudding, with coconut ice-cream and mango sorbet. It was absolutely delicious!
For the rest of the evening we sat on the grass, watched and listened to the entertainment and chilled out. Unfortunately we didn't plan ahead - the event was BYO - a nice night would have been topped off perfectly with a good bottle of wine (and a few bottles of beer for Dave)!
