The Richmond Night Market

by KennyG on April 24th, 2008

874395_chinese_lantern.jpgThe Richmond Night Market is a multi-cultural Asian market event!
The market contains rows of open stalls with a huge array of items for sale including clothing, books, jewelry, purses, electronics, car accessories and Asian DVDs.
My favorite reason for going to the market is the unbelievable variety of ethnic foods including dim sum, imitation shark-fin soup, Taiwan-style bubble tea, Korean rice rolls and Japanese takoyak395358_dim_sum.jpgi, just to name a few!
The food is simply amazing and is well worth the hassles of trying to find parking and the crowds you have to maneuver your way through. I highly recommend getting there early, it makes the parking situation a bit easier and you are able to browse around for a little while without so many people around.
Another point to mention is to make sure you have cash on you. None of the merchants in the market have debit or credit card, there is an ATM at the market but the line-ups are usually extremely long and there is a $2 fee for using it.
The market opens mid-May and runs Friday, Saturday, Sunday and holidays until October, it opens at 7pm and is open until midnight Friday and Saturday and until 11pm on Sunday and holidays.
Enjoy!
