The Noodle Festival 2013

Is somewhere in November.


In November, it was spring going to summer hence the day is longer than night which accounts for the blue skies and missing moon. We were also there early because both of us are kiasu and we heard the queue is really long.

If you don't already know, the night noodle market is like a open door food expo with participating restaurants and eateries. I don't know how Noodle Markets came about but it intrigues me that the Noodle Market have more none noodle fare to offer than noodle food.


I never figure out their food stall grouping strategy but faced with a growing crowd, we decided to 'attack' the more popular Restaurants like Chin Chin, Mamak and Longrain first figuring the queue will only get worse with the crowd swelling every second. It proved to be quite a sound strategy as we manage to try something from the famous restaurant stalls and we started with Chin Chin. Bought some pull pork bun. From memory it was delicious. We devoured it before we reach the 2nd stall. Did I mention we basically eat as we queue?



Then there was some other food that I don't remember but taste so so nia...


There was also limited table and chairs so we ended up choosing a trample-safe spot to sit and picnic. We also bought satay, I think we paid close to A$10 for it. Yes friends in Lion City and hometown will no doubt cry outrage at the price we paid for mere 5 sticks of satay and some shallow sauce.


 It was only until desert time that we managed to find a table for 2. Ice cream's yummy.


There was this stall that sells Taiwanese pop corn chicken that for some reason we could not find even with the map provided by the organizers. So we stuffed ourselves and call it day only to find that there were more food stalls outside the entrance. The stall that we were looking for was there and ironically it was called Ghost Kitchen.


We also found some lantern deco that as far as I can tell has no relation to the Noodle Market or Moon Cake festival but they make good photography backdrop.



I might be persuaded to go back to the Noodle Festival this year...
