    Richmond Night Market - cheese coin

    BRING CASH. Some food stands don't accept credit card. If you forget to bring cash, they have ATM…read moremachines. There is an entrance fee and the long line to get in goes by fast. The Rotato is fun to eat and l recommend getting the sour cream and onion flavor. It's served hot and fresh and it has the perfect crispy texture. The mango sticky rice is really good and the mangoes they use are fresh and sweet. The ramen donut is heavy because the outer part is thick and crunchy like it was double fried and the filling is ramen and cheese. I wanted to try it bc I never had a ramen donut before. It's worth trying it once and getting that photo op in, but probably won't get it again. The market also has games and entertainment along with some shopping that you can do (jewelry, clothing, artwork, etc).

    Richmond Night Market has been around for 26 years now. It is a good concept to bring the night…read moremarket atmosphere commonly found in Asia to Vancouver. It is more than just food stalls and vendors selling jewelry, stickers, socks, cell phone accessories etc. There are bouncy castle, inflatable balls to run around in, zip line, fair games like the PNE etc. What I find ridiculous but common here in North America is having to pay an admission fee just so you can go spend more money on food and shopping. In other parts of the world where night market or Christmas market is a common thing, you just go stroll through the streets where vendors and shops are for free. Buy food and things when they catch your eye. So it's $7 general admission now, $5 after 10 pm for late night. Seniors (60+) and children (under 7) are free. There are some stalls offering happy hours items for the entire night ($10 under food and $7 under drinks). Otherwise food is around $15 on average. The food stalls are still mostly Asian fare. Many bbq skewers and I saw many getting the squids. I tried a frozen banana dessert which was cut up frozen banana dipped in chocolate and drizzled with pistachio sauce and that's the Dubai inspired dessert. Not that great. The cheese coin was decent with plenty of cheese. The inari bomb was pretty tasty. Many stalls are cash only. So bring cash, lots of cash. There is a 3% charge for admission ticket if paying by card. I'll say budget for minimum $100 each if you want to fully enjoy the experience of buying food from a few stalls, play a couple of games and buy things. Parking is free and well organized. There is also a lot of soccer related theme this year because of the World Cup where a few games will be held in Vancouver. I can see this place being popular for young kids, teenagers and young adults as something to do with friends. As I still travel to Asia at least once a year, I can totally skip this. If you're expecting it to be like the night markets like in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia etc, this is not it.

    Hurray for candy trucks! I was waiting for my husband at Second Beach and walked over the this…read moretruck where I saw a group to cyclists buying water. I looked at the sign at all the different types of candy and many of them sounded great! The woman working there offered me a free sample of any of the candy and I tried a mango piece. I didn't find the flavour to be as strong as I like but we decided to get 3 bags for $11 (or $4/bag). I got a bag for friends and I tried the peanut brittle and fizz candy. The bag looks small but you get lots for 100 grams. I liked the fizz candy as it wasn't too fizzy. The peanut brittle was good too and great for crushing and putting on ice cream. Great food truck and location to enjoy during a walk along the seawall. The woman working was really friendly too. Would be great to see more candy trucks!

    Ok so it's really fun to have a candy truck in the city and to be able to try traditional German…read morecandies. However, there is no shortage of candy in this city, even organic all-natural dye-free candy. Just look to Whole Foods, Save-on or other bulk foods places around the city and in the GVR. What they do well though is service. How many stores/vendors around this city are giving out free samples? I mean, seriously, do you know of any? I don't. Even places like Kernels and Starbucks don't do it often, and overpriced candy vendors at Granville Island could take some advice from this business. So while my marine life-shaped marshmallows were delicious and cheaper than Butter bakery at only $4, I don't see myself stopping by this truck often as I find it easier to walk into the nearest natural foods store. However, as a person who appreciates good customer service, I will be coming back to buy some product once in a while. Perhaps this business could sell their product in Whole Foods/Choices? Easier access for me!:)
