Now in a new temporary and super-convenient location right next to the Paddy’s Market Light Rail stop, this vibrant, bustling and tasty market features more than 40 stalls serving up authentic Asian street eats and handcrafted goods.
After a pause for major precinct upgrades, the market reopened at the start of September in the pedestrian area around Hay and Harbour Streets. Get there for your fix of all your faves like chargrilled skewers, bubbling hotpots, fluffy bao and the very Instagrammable dragon beard candy. From old favourites to the next gen of food creators – the food-lovers fest celebrates the best of old and new Chinatown in one spot.
And while you’re there, don’t forget to also take a wander down busy Dixon Street with its Asian restaurants and herbal medicine shops before your fun-filled and food-fuelled night ends.
