(You can have a bucket list for a summer.....of course you can... don't let anyone tell you different!)
It took me all Summer to get to #3.......but on September 1, 2012 - I checked it off my bucket list!
On David's 13th Birthday evening the whole family caught the skytrain to the River Rock and got in the loooong line-up to get into the Night Market.
When I saw the line I felt good about that decision.
However the line went super fast and in a few minutes we were in. We followed the crowd to the "back" of the market to the food area and employed a divide and conquer approach.... someone get seats, someone get in the line for Rotator.....someone else get other food...someone else take photos....
It was about this time I realised that I had forgotten my camera and only had my iPhone...after feeling crushed for a moment I decided to embrace the restrictions of the iPhone camera and go for it.
It was also at this moment I totally regretted eating before we came. Stupid white rookie move. UGH!
It was so exciting wandering around all the stalls - the smells so enticing. Some vendors had amazing systems for moving customers through quickly - like the rotator folks - they have it down!! And the Dim Sum..... but the Roti guy was overwhelmed and I didn't wait.....the bubble waffles were slow too....but who walks away from a chocolate bubble waffle......????
Having eaten and snacked and unable to justify any further food purchases - not to mention the place was now packed.....in a cheery and friendly sort of way..... we took off to see what the rest fo the market held.
In short........
iPhone case stalls - tempting - hilarious....... but no thanks
I do think if Allan really loved me he would have got us these matching cases.
And all this led to an exchange with my friend Jennifer........

More on my Asian education and induction into the "White Girls Asian Hall of Food Fame" coming up soon......
