Richmond Night Market '05

[BCinBC]

If you read THIS POST in the China forum, there is mention of street crepes, however I don't know about "traditional".

Anyway, the night market was a lot of fun though I'd recommend bringing an extra layer if you're wearing shorts and a t-shirt. I was giving serious consideration to buying a $5 "Vancouver, Canada" shirt for disposable warmth, but eventually settled on a cheap but re-wearable hat instead.

Like Snacky, I also enjoyed the carwheel cakes and the meat on a stick, and the black sesame coated strawberries too. However the dragon beard candy was too much like eating gauze-wrapped peanuts.

To me, street dim sum for $3 is a bit of a gyp. Especially when meat on a stick is $2 per stick, $5 for 3, and like Snacky mentioned, discounted to $1 each at 11:30.

Has anyone try the bowl of periwinkles? I was very curious, but did not go for them. Also the "Chinese hamburger" - which was new to me. BBQ pork and cilantro on an English muffin. WTF?

The lowpoint of the evening was having to leave without being able to find a Budweiser, marijuana or flaming skull cell-phone cover to fit my phone. Also I got all real $5 bills back in change, no sign of counterfits. Dang again.
