Yet another cooking reality show has kicked off in the US with pure television viewing glory.
Besides, “Night Noodle, Dim Sim and other Asian-Influenced-Food Markets” is just not as catchy. It might not be perfect food but it is good food. It’s about relaxing with food, friends and family. This event that drew 120,000 people last year is about embracing culture and enjoying unique spring alfresco dining. I’m afraid the only place you’ll find an ‘authentic Asian hawker market’ is actually in Asia. While these are both valid points, I feel they miss the point. I’ve also heard that the name ‘noodle markets’ is misleading because first-timers arrive expecting, well, just noodles. I’ve read lot of feedback from people disappointed in the lack of Asian authenticity with the Westernised influence on foods and flavours. Ding Tai Fung and Shanghai Express had chefs behind clear plastic screens and mouth-masks, creating production lines of dumplings with bullet-fast hands. Most stalls are Thai, Malaysian, Chinese and Japanese but whichever you choose, you can’t escape a long queue. While the boys guarded our seats, the girls explored the park to see what we could scavenge. We had ladies in skirts and heels among us so we stalked a table of suits that were already onto dessert. We arrived at about 6pm and all the tables were already occupied.
