New Zealand’s
tastiest hawker-style festival returns to Victoria Park this
Friday. For foodie fans it’s 10 days of fun that
‘udon’ want to miss!
Visitors can enjoy a
mouth-watering lineup from 22 local and international food
stalls serving up traditional and modern fare, with
gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options to tempt every
taste bud. Open daily from 4pm between 29 November - 8
December, entry is free and all ages are
welcome.
On offer are festival faves, steamed and
fried dumplings, chargrilled BBQ skewers, bao buns,
yakitori, ramen, Asian sweet treats and desserts, and of
course, oodles of noodles, with plates ranging from $5 to
$20.
Air New Zealand invites event goers to
‘find their perfect DestinAsia’ with the chance to win
economy flights for two to one of Air New Zealand’s
non-stop Asia destinations. Diners can also vote for their
favourite ‘Top Chopsticks’ stallholder to be in to win
$1000 cash.
Event Manager Vanessa Fleming says
this year’s markets are gearing up to be an unforgettable
experience. “We’ve pushed the boat out with some fun new
visual elements including a show-stopping ‘selfie’ wall
to be unveiled on opening night. Visitors will be
entertained by lion dancers, taiko drummers, stilt walkers,
costumed performers and a live band. We’re bringing the
sights, sounds and flavours of summer under colourful
lanterns and you won’t want to miss it.”
The
markets run from 4-10pm (finishing at 9pm on the final day).
There will be free wifi and the event is completely
cashless; all stallholders will accept major credit and
debit cards (excluding AMEX) and have contactless payment
facilities. Skip the queues with Fast Lanes at selected
stallholders exclusively for Westpac with Apple Pay
customers, then find a seat to relax in the Westpac Garden
where everyone is welcome.
The event aims to be
zero waste, thanks to compostable packaging and beverages
served in cans and recycled plastic bottles.
