Eat Street Market, Hamilton

It's taken me a while to drag myself out for dinner on Friday - Normally I would love to hide myself at home for some quiet time as Friday is too hectic.  In fact, last night was a random dinner date. We headed to the Eat Street Market @ Hamilton to explore more international food! We reached there around 7.30pm and it was really crowded.  Finding a parking slot was a nightmare, S-parking was even terrible. We spent 10 minutes to properly park the car.

Pay your entry fee ($2) at the entrance, and there's the massive crowd welcoming you!

Pastry is always the default choice. So we had Spinach, cheese and mushroom pastry to start the adventure. Sad to say, it was average, nothing special. 

There was this cocktail bar at the end of the market. We ordered the "honey rider" which contains tequila, honey and mango puree. This 12 bucks deal was disappointing, it was like mango smoothies.

BBQ Pork Ribs is definitely the highlight of the market. $14 for two pork ribs which are served with coleslaws.  The sauce added some zint and it was like there's a party inside my mouth! They are crazy addictive..

Hungarian "THE LOT", which is the garlic bread topped with shredded cheddar cheese, tabouleh and sour cream.  The bread again let us down, it was soggy, probably because of the tabouleh salad.

Oh, we couldn't resist to get the spiral potato chips because it's twisted ($5).  Try chicken salt instead of normal table salt! To say that they were amazing would be an understatement, wandering around with a potato stick in hand - some people even asked where did we get that! :p

To conclude our food hunting night, we had our 'buy one get one free' Gelato at the city. Pistachio and Tiramisu are the best combination, as well as the pistachio and hazelnut! Had a nice chat along Queens Street Mall, enjoyed the breeze, but definitely not seeing drunk people falling over. Oh well, just because it was a Friday night.

If you are feel like having a dinner or a snack, or even dessert, this is the place to come! This is a real offbeat thing to do - really intriguing to see different types of food within a small area.
