Night Noodle Markets 2012

Overview

Hyde Park gets its Asian hawker-style market on (complete with authentic massive crowds) during 13 nights in spring as part of Crave Sydney International Food Festival. Get there as early as you possibly can (even with extended hours) after work and grab some noodles, dumplings, and Asian desserts. Make sure you claim a table quickly — you have been warned.

There are three bars to quench your thirst and entertainment including something to do with a lucky Chinese lion. And if lines aren't your thing, you can book the Noodle Box, a rustic pop-up Malay village cafe, created by Chinta Ria (which luckily has its own bar).
