Way back in November there was a Noodle Night Market. It was along the Yarra River in Alexandra Gardens and was open for two weeks. There were about 25 different food stalls, a selection of bars and entertainment. The place was lit up beautifully with rainbow coloured lights in the palm trees. To get the real Asian feel, there were also a bunch of lanterns which created a great atmosphere.
Although you're in the middle of a city, the gardens feel miles away from everything. It's strange to see the buildings surrounding the park.
The market started off in Sydney and moved to Melbourne this year for the first time. It was a great success and an average of 20000 customers came every night!! It was absolutely packed, the first time I went was quite early, right as it opened so it wasn't very busy, but also not very atmospheric. The second time we went a lot later, and although it was incredibly busy and queues everywhere, it was a great experience.
The Noodle Night Market will return again this year!
