Sydney’s Carriageworks will be the venue for an exciting Night Market on January 28th, curated by celebrated chef and Audi ambassador, Kylie Kwong. Featuring more than 50 stalls, it will provide a bustling, vibrant event for Sydney siders in the lead in to Chinese New Year.

Featuring the very best of contemporary Asian food as well as pop culture and sounds, the market will bring together all of the vibrancy of Harajuku in Japan, AnFu Lu in Shanghai and Hangdae in Seoul, in the Harbour City, with some of the city’s most celebrated restaurants represented. 

“The Night Market will mark the first night of the 2017 Sydney Chinese New Year Festival and Sydney Festival’s final evening through a vibrant celebration created by some of Australia’s most exciting chefs, producers and winemakers with a focus on Asian cuisine,” says Kylie Kwong.

“My vision is to offer a melting pot of multi-cultural food dishes in which all of these amazing foodies are asked to think of a dish that reflects their own unique style, with an Asian twist!”  

Visitors will have no end of choice with the likes of Rockpool Bar and Grill; Eleven Bridge; Moon Park; Good Luck Pinbone; Lankan Filling Station; Almond Bar; Bar Brose; Edible Bug Shop; The Urban Beehive; Icebergs Dining Room & Bar; The Dolphin Hotel; The Wayside Chapel; Two Good Company; Saskia Beer Farm Produce; Mark Eather Sustainable Seafood; Long Chim; Cornersmith all represented.

Many of the dishes will be specially created for the Night Markets, while some food highlights, including the edible insects from the Edible Bug Shop will offer a unique experience for diners, but one with an obviously traditional Chinese bent.

Other food highlights include Billy Kwong’s Pork Dumplings with Ginger & Tamari, Pork Buns filled with Saskia Beer’s Pork and Wayside Chapel Rooftop Honey; and Steamed Savoury Pancakes with Organic Eggs, Salt Bush and Asian Herbs. 

Tasmanian fisherman Mark Eather will serve his pristine, line-caught, sashimi grade seafood while Good Luck Pinbone will offer a Vegetarian-style Mapo Tofu in a Bun, Rockpool Bar & Grill will serve up ‘Beef Short Rib Bossam with Cumin Chilli and Black Vinegar’ and Saskia Beer Farm Produce will offer her Barossa Valley produced ‘Berkshire Pork with Chinese spice, white sesame and Sorrel, a touch of the Barossa.’ 

The Night Market will not just be a celebration of fine Asian cuisine, but will also showcase the best quality vignerons from Australia, craft breweries and entertainment. Rootstock Sydney will provide a variety of outstanding wines, while Tasmanian craft brewery, Two Metre Tall Company will be pouring their latest collaboration ‘BK Project Brew – Farmhouse ambigua 3’ on tap as well as local ales from Batch Brewing Company and The Grifter Brewing Company. Add to that cocktails from Spirit People & PS40, Poor Tom’s Gin, Tasmanian Killara Distillery as well as Sake from Black Market Sake.

Entertainment on the night will be provided by DJ Tyson Koh, delivering a heady mixture of sounds described as a cocktail of soul, disco, yacht rock and fuzzy world funk. 

An event not to be missed and the perfect way to start the celebrations for the coming Year of the Rooster.
