Night Noodle Markets 2011: Crave Sydney

The Night Noodle Markets returned to Sydney last night. The popular Crave Sydney event sees Hyde Park transformed into a hawker-style market with a range of Asian cuisines.

There’s food from renowned restaurants and eateries such as Mamak, Longrain, Din Tai Fung and St Honoré Cake Shop and a lot of temptations from other stalls as you walk around the park. Mamak has with the longest and slowest moving queue but watching them flip roti makes the time pass a little faster. A glass of wine in hand also help.

Three bars serve Coopers beer, Chambord cocktails, mineral water and Brown Brothers wine but if you order a Prosecco to enjoy with your pandan chicken, make sure you’re not given a sparkling Moscato instead.

Arrive early and you may just secure a table and watch darkness descend over the park as you tuck into your pork buns. Stay a while longer, and watch the moon peek from behind the trees, floodlit in vibrant colour.

Sydney nights are still a little cool but chilling out with friends at the Night Noodle Markets is an experience you’ll want to repeat.
