A Taste of Asia: The Summer Night Market

the richmond summer night market

I have not had any additions in the last two weeks, because I have been without a camera. The night market is one of my favourite places to go when I am looking for a place with energy, cheap food, and awesome deals on merchandise. I have been here about 5 times this season. I was even interested in being a vendor this year. It gets so packed there, I frequently bring friends here to show them the excitement. If you plan on going, do not eat before you go. You will find all kinds of food and retail stands by Vancouver restaurants/stores and new small business owners. There’s dim sum, gourmet desserts, japadogs, fried oreos, skewers of different kinds of meat, fried marshmallows, and the selection goes on and on. Also expect to do lots of walking around while you are here. All I have to say is, highly recommended for all ages.
