This weekend we got out to do a few things that I have been on the list of to do things for a while. Last night we checked out the Richmond Night Market, down by the Fraser River. We got there about 9pm and I couldn't get over the never ending stream of people that were heading in and out of the market. The smells were great - one moment you could smell sugar, and those little dough nuts and you would swear that you were at the PNE, and the next moment, the smells of kebabs and curry beef stew, and some unknown fried seafood assailed your senses.
It was cool - you had to practically swim through the people through the food stalls, but the merchandise stalls were just ok - a lot of really "cutesie" stuff, and then a lot of no name gadgets - like knock off ipods for $15... you could probably find a little something of just about anything here... although in my opinion, I usually find more stuff at the flea market... more variety, surprisingly enough..a nd not the swarms of people to deal with either!! Needless to say, it was a cool experience, and the weather was perfect for the night out - it was clear and warm enough.
This morning, we joined up with PKY and the folks for dim sum. We went here, and the food was good. This only being my 3rd time for dim sum, you watch what other people are eating, and then just dive in. I tried the chicken feet last time (not for the faint of heart, but not bad, it is hard to get over the image and the mental part though) so I totally let them pass this time around. It was cool. Ken's mom did awesome, she tried just about everything as well. It is a huge restaurant, and it gets really noisy, but there are food servers coming around all the time, and there is something of everything.
