Friday Night Markets, Chinatown

After singing myself hoarse and into poverty I felt like I couldn't afford to pay for a nice proper meal. The Princess and I opted for whatever food we could find at the Friday Night Markets (1) beacuse we're poor uni students! (2) because we hadn't been to the friday night markets for years (yes, it's sad but true) (3) because i reaaally wanted fishballs!

fishballs, meat skewers etc stand

fishballs & tofu stick ($3 each) 

N.B. I found the *tofu stick* was actually tofu fish!!! MAJOR DIFFERENCE!! WHat of all the veggos out there!??!?

 

Colotako stall

Colotako is my favourite snack place EVER! I think there was one stage in my high school days where I wanted a colotako tee LOL!

Samurai (8 octopus & crab balls) $9.00

Sharkfin soup $4.00

This was waaay too peppery and you could really taste the poor quality but hey, it's from a foodstall so you can't really expect too much!

Our dinner!

Houtou Pancake (greentea flavour) $2.00

Being the greedy pig I am we had to go back and get me something sweet! hehehhe i settled for Hontou pancakes although there were also the usual chinese desserts e.g. red bean/green bean soups

innards shot

hehehhe look at the lovely green goo!

It was a fun night and we've already planned when we'll next go to the Friday Night Markets at Chinatown!!

Glebe Street Fair 2008, The Glebe

This is taken directly from the Glebe Street Fair 2008 website:

Glebe Street Fair will celebrate its 25th birthday this year and it’s definitely time to enjoy the party. There will be a wonderful carnival day enjoyed by locals, families, friends and guests from all over Sydney … and everywhere else.

"The Glebe Street Fair will be the perfect place to do your Christmas shopping - 5 weeks before Christmas. There’ll be an intriguing selection of the quirky, the funky and the unusual on offer from the 200+ stalls lining the street from the crew that bring you the popular Glebe markets every Saturday.

There’s a kilometre long centre of bustling fun, filled with stalls, fabulous international food, kids’ rides, entertainment and activities. Glebe Point Road is closed to traffic from Broadway to Bridge Road.

The Glebe Street Fair is one of Sydney’s longest running annual events, attracting more than 100,000 people every November. Run by the Glebe Chamber of Commerce, the Glebe Street Fair has always had a strong connection to the Glebe community, and is proudly sponsored this year by the City of Sydney.

The Fair is run on a not-for-profit basis, with proceeds being used by the Chamber to support a variety of local community projects."

I'm not even going to try, I'll just let the pictures do the talking =]
