One of the great things that Perth has to offer in the summer (besides the beaches and beautiful ocean) is the Friday night Food Hawkers Market in the city. They turn the big plaza in the mall downtown into a foodies dream come true. As you make the lap around the piazza you are greeted by wondrous sights and smells. Choose your country, there is food for everyone from everywhere. You can have Argentinian style ribs, Japanese sushi and dumplings, Moroccan dishes, Lebanese gozelemes (this is what the kiddies had) , Indian curries and those are only a few of the choices.
Ed and I shared a couple of different dishes, our first was a wonderful Paella. A spanish rice and meat dish that if you haven't had an opportunity to enjoy you should find one. My favourite dish of the evening however, was a wrap we shared, which I hope to replicate pretty soon and will do it's very own blog post about so you'll just have to wait and see. :) Teaser to keep posted.
This was our Friday activity for our advent calendar. We combined enjoyment for the kids with something Ed and I were really wanting to do, so great night for everyone. It wasn't just fun for the foodies like me, but they also had things for the kids as well.

We took the train into the city, which is always a favorite of the little people. Tilly loved seeing the "fairies" on stilts making their way through the crowd.
Nathan loved seeing Santa and even greeted him with a fist bump.
Tilly was less enthusiastic. This is pretty much as close as she would allow the picture to be taken.
Much to our surprise and enjoyment we met up with some wonderful friends down in the city.
Good food, Christmas music, good friends, not much more you could ask for for a fun filled Friday night.

This looks like so much fun! I'd love to go to something like this! I'd love to try paella sometime because I don't think it is something I could make at home, especially in that you have to have a special pan and all.
