Gadong night market

Chie was very keen to visit the night market after being to the ones in Hong Kong. I had to warn her that the Gadong one is nothing like the ones in Hong Kong. To be honest I knew they would be very disappointed. Matthew and I have been there only once when we had Matthew's parents visiting us two years or so ago. At that time it was very small and had no real atmosphere of a market.

We got there around 5pm and it was the perfect time. The sun was still up but it was much cooler and we could actually see what's going on. There were 4 or 5 shops selling hats and some toys. Most of the market was full with fresh veges and cooked local delicacies.

We explored the market individually to find some dinner. When we gathered back together we had some Roti John (Malay style hotdog), fried noodles, soup noodles, chicken rice, BBQ chicken and some local sweets. They were actually all very yummy (and cheap of course). Usually the local people come here to buy things to take home so there were no places to eat for us. So we decided to just sit in a corner of the car park and eat.



Little bit smokey...

It is nice to experience something new and different (we often find this when we have visitors).
