EAT STREET MARKETS, BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA. Part 3.
This is my entry for this weeks Market Friday challenge hosted by @dswigle
Here we are back at the Eat Street Markets in Brisbane. I hope you are not hungry because I fear you will be before you've finished taking another stroll down these luscious lanes of steaming savouries, nutritious nibbles and delicious desserts. And then you are going to blame me for triggering your taste buds when you have nothing within reach that will put you out of your misery. So.......don't say I didn't warn you!
First Stop! Kombi Alley! And if you haven't already guessed it, this area consists of a series of beautifully maintained Kombi's which have been either converted into Food Stalls or used as props to lure those with a sweet tooth closer.
If I had to choose between sweets and nuts, nuts would win hands down every time......especially macadamia nuts. Yummmmmmm! What's so Nawty about nuts?????
But getting back to sweet things......Locomades have combined Nutella and Honey and come up with novel honey puff balls drizzled with rich chocolate. Interesting!
I loved their beautiful light shade which doubled as an advertising tool. Innovative!
Although Food is the main theme of this unique venue, there are quite a few quality products sold here too. Such as these very cute baby clothes.
And huge air balloons decorated with neon lights which were very popular with the kids.
The lights looked stunning. But you didn't decide to walk around Eat Street to gaze up at the pretty lights did you? So let me show you some of the international flavours available.
As we neared the entrance to the Asian Fare I was salivating due to the combined cooking aromas wafting around me from Chinese, Vietnamese, and Japanese restaurants, to name but a few.
Should I pause, put my camera down and indulge in one of favourite types of food?
But is that hot sizzling pizza that I can smell? YES!
I can not only smell it, I can see it cooking away in a open pizza oven. There just too many choices all around me. What would you settle for on a late Friday night in the middle of Food Heaven, aka 'Eat Street?'
I simply cannot decide but I think I have made up my mind with what I'd like for dessert. Who can resist a delicious, freshly made Black Forest chocolate muffin filled with cherry and topped with vanilla icing and cherry couli?
Or would a strawberry, salted caramel or pistachio and white chocolate macaroon be a better choice? I promised to let you know if my chocolate loving husband indulged in the chocolate fondue on offer last week. Well, he amazed me because he managed to move away from that temptation. Perhaps because he too, was struggling to make up his mind as to what held the most appeal for his taste buds that were unapologetically demanding his attention?
I had every intention of finishing up my Eat Street Markets this week but I'm afraid that I still have more to show you and as I don't want you to get bored.........or ravenously hungry, I'll let you go for now so that you can go and scavenge in your pantries or fridges to see if you can find something to ease your hunger pangs. So I will return again next week with what should be my final post on these markets...........but I won't promise in case I have more images than what I think I have that need to be shared with you.
I have a feeling that if we don't eat something soon we are going to end up looking like this permanent resident of these markets. It's wonderful to have so much variety but one simply has to make up their mind what to eat sooner or later.
This poor lady was obviously more interested in finding the perfect partner than choosing what to have for dinner, but died in the process. She'd rather starve than put up with second best. Thankfully, this shouldn't happen to anyone trying to find the best meal to indulge in here. No-one in their right minds would leave the Eat Street markets hungry.
See you next Friday!
