NIGHT IT UP 2011

One of the most awaited food festivals of the year - NIGHT IT UP! This year, they have changed their location to Markham (Warden/Hwy 7). For many years, Night It Up (formally called Asian Night Out) was located at Metro Square (Warden/Steeles). Changing their location did not make a big difference because it is still SO CROWDED this year!!! You know an event is popular when you go there and you bump into more than three friends lol.

My sole purpose of attending to this event was to eat stinky tofu and takoyaki (like every year as usual). One smart tip when going to these food festivals is know what you want to eat and line up for that booth first OR line up for the most popular food first to avoid long and huge line ups. My boyfriend and I lined up for the two most popular food first once we got there: stinky tofu and takoyaki. We ended up leaving without no hassle and no long line-ups. :) I was a happy camper indeed.

Look at the goodness..MmmMm

I believe that the stinkier the tofu is, the better it tastes

Didn't get a chance to try this - Oyster Omelette (a popular Taiwanese street food)

Pineapple smoothie - $6

the Takoyaki booth!

Always my favorite night market food - Takoyaki (aka Japanese squid balls)

Paper fish netting! I caught two! Yippee!

Tornado taters - potato carved in a creative way (Warning: super oily)

A very popular event indeed! Look at the crowd!
