Richmond, B.C. Summer Night Market

Summer is a long stretch away especially since winter hasn't officially started yet.  One of the things you must do when visiting Seattle in the summer is drive up to Canada.  Why? Because the the day is long (thanks to daylight saving time), the sun is shining, the Canadian border is less than 3 hours away from Seattle, and you don't have to hop on a plane to visit a foreign country!  We always visit the Summer Night Market whenever we are in Richmond, B.C.

The atmosphere at the night market always reminds us of our daily trips to the night markets in Taiwan.  The night market in Richmond is held annually all summer long and it's always packed with hungry people. 

Berries galore!

These spiral-cut potatoes are making appearances everywhere.  Much like french fries, these spiral-cut potatoes are deep fried on a stick and is a popular street food in Korea.

Chicken Yakitori

Takoyaki (octopus balls)

Hong Kong Egg Puffs

Sesame Egg Puffs

I always look for Hong Kong Egg Puffs at these events.  They're described as Hong Kong style waffles and are best eaten warm while the outside is crispy and the"bubbles" are soft and hollow on the inside.  I ordered the sesame flavored egg puffs and it was delicious!

Grilled squid with spicy chili sauce

Fried tofu with spicy chili sauce

Cute signs

This vendor was selling everything from yam fries to corn dog and Taiwanese chicken cutlets.   I wanted to try everything on their menu - everything looked so good!

All good things must come to an end.  Farewell, Summer Night Market!  See you again next year!
