| BBQ at night |
Being an introvert in
Vancouver can be a bit difficult given the huge variety of things to do. On any
given weekend there are parades, races, parties, festivals, and more. One of my
favorite summer activities is the summer night market in Richmond. Imagine
going from Canada to China and back one evening. There are so many wonderful
things to see and do that everything becomes magical. With over 200 vendors and
70 food stalls, there is an amazing experience for everyone. Need socks? How
about some crazy Korean ones at 5 pairs for $10? Jewelry? Sometimes tough to
find the classy amongst the tacky, but I managed. What about bedding? Or iphone
covers? Have a burning desire for everything Hello Kitty? And this only covers
a small portion of the non-food vendors!

But let’s talk about the
food for a second. Imagine traveling across Asia for months trying to sample
delicacies from every region. Now imagine condensing those months into a few
nights in Richmond. I wish I could say that I have tried every stand, but the
thought makes my stomach hurt. Plus there are way too many squid stands. I can
assertively say that the Xin Jiang Style BBQ is to-die for! New coconuts are
always delicious as well, although at $5/each, I would rather get something
else next time. I would recommend trying a potato hurricane as well as the bbq.
Sadly, I was absorbed in eating the hurricane and failed to take a photo, but I
promise to rectify this next time.

In the
end, all I can say is that the night market really
does deserve the highest praise.
