Richmond Night Market 2019

Someone wanted to come on Canada Day thinking it may be less busy since people are probably partying somewhere else. Which was true, it wasn't very packed. Online it said they are giving out coke and Cola sunglasses for first 200 people. When we paid, they said it's for first 200 groups. Seriously??? If we knew, we would just pay separately, oh well, maybe next year? It was quite expensive to get in, it increases every year.

There were a bit more food tents this year but nothing really special about it. The prices were crazy expensive too.

We saw the nori taco place at nori express and wanted to try. It was definitely different. It cost $7, which was pricey but also bigger than normal taco places. Basically, it's a deep fried seaweed with sushi toppings. We got the California one, my favourite. It was kind of crispy. My first bit was spicy which I really like but the rest wasn't spicy. I guess it came from the previous order because they ordered spicy salmon I think. That kick was nice though. They should totally make a spicy California. It's like a California roll in a seaweed taco, same favour, it was good.

                                     

Next we tried the fried watermelon from 2 sweet guys. It was $3.50, ok expensive as well. It was unique, I've never tried fried watermelon. They put a bunch of icing sugar and strawberry sauce on top. We realized why that was necessary. It's because it had no sweetness to the watermelon. The icing sugar helped a bite but not really. It was also quite messy to eat, good thing someone feed me haha! The bottom middle part is very hard to eat. The first bite was ok crispy I guess? I thought it would be nice if they cut it into piece and fried them would be a good idea. Easier to eat. Someone said but a whole piece looks bigger, I guess? We thought they was more of a try once and never again.

                                     

Lastly, we tried the deep fried chicken from chicking. We got the honey garlic soy, couple size ($10). It was really good. It had enough flavour. The chicken was very tender and juicy. Doesn't have a thick batter and it was crispy. That was probably the best $10 that we spent at the night market, so sad.

                                                

The best thing, someone got me a balloon that I've wanted since last year!!! The clear balloon with bear and lights up! $13 though, definitely pricey and surprised. Very happy! Thanks!

No, I will not go back again this year, maybe next year?
