Melbourne 🇦🇺 | A Global Food Journey at Queen Victoria Night Market

The Queen Victoria Night Market is truly a paradise for international food lovers 😭. I was in absolute heaven—imagine wanting to try every single food stall but having limited stomach space, plus it's only open on Wednesdays! The struggle of weaving through crowds, debating endlessly over what to eat... And wow, it was PACKED. Nearly every stall had a line (proof of how quiet Melbourne's nightlife is beyond pubs...). ✨ Walking through felt like a whirlwind world tour. Here's my delicious recap: Asia 🌏 🇮🇳 India's Rhythm Curry – Entertaining to watch as they flip curry on sizzling hot plates with tiny shovels! 🇱🇰 Sri Lankan street food – Similar to Indian flavors but with its own twist. 🇹🇷 Turkish kebabs – Smoky, juicy, and worth the long queue! 🇻🇳 Vietnamese banh mi – Crispy baguettes stuffed with savory goodness. 🇵🇭 Filipino BBQ – Sweet, sticky, and full of flavor. 🇨🇳 Chinese BAO buns – Soft, pillowy perfection. 🇨🇳 Spiral potato skewers – SO GOOD! Perfectly crispy with amazing seasoning (salt chicken flavor = winner 🏆). 🇰🇷 Korean tteokbokki & coin hotteok – Spicy rice cakes and sweet filled pancakes (mostly enjoyed by fellow Asians—that tteokbokki looked fiery!). North & South America 🌍 🇵🇪 Peruvian arepas & corn empanadas – The white corn cakes had a familiar texture, and the empanadas with chili sauce were unique! 🇲🇽 Mexican tacos 🌮 – Classic, messy, delicious. 🇺🇸 American doughnuts – Because sometimes you just need deep-fried sugar. Africa 🌍 African grilled meat – Surprisingly juicy and packed with flavor! Europe 🌍 🇫🇷 French street food – Including flattened croissants (weird but good?). 🇪🇸 Spanish churros – Served in a bowl with ice cream (way too sweet though...). 🇪🇸 Spanish paella – Wanted squid ink, but it sold out 😂. The seafood paella was decent, though the rice was a bit undercooked. 🇳🇱 Dutch sweets – Basically mini pancakes drowned in Nutella. 🇬🇷 Greek souvlaki – Always reliable. 🇮🇹 Sicilian desserts – Looked suspiciously like Turkish sweets? 🇵🇹 Portuguese egg tarts – Flaky crust, creamy filling—and watching them being made was mesmerizing! 🥖 Bread bowl soup – A whole loaf filled with creamy chicken corn chowder. Genius. 🌭 Black Sheep lobster roll – THE hype dish. The line was insane, but lobster lovers swore by it. Despite the crowds, the vibe was electric! The silent disco (10🔪) had everyone belting out Baby by Justin Bieber—hilariously, most only knew the chorus 😂. There were also fire-breathing magicians and acrobats performing nearby. Sitting there with food and drinks, watching the show under the stars... pure bliss ☺️. 🍽️ Queen Victoria Market #QVNightMarket #MelbourneFood #WinterNightMarket 🎪🍜🌮🔥🎶🍷✨😋
