A year has gone by since the launch of Luna 1878 at the Queen Victoria Market and this year the Winter Night Market is back with some new tastes and vibrant entertainment.
The bonfires lure you in from the cold winter's air while you are welcomed by the delicious smells from the amazing food on offer.
My usual game plan is to do a lap and then make the tough decision of where to start and this time I started my tasting journey with Hoy Pinoy Filipino BBQ. I had their traditional glaze chicken skewers which are a must-try! The glaze melts in your mouth and in combination with the smokey charcoal flavour, it is a sure winner!
Next stop was Hungarian Street Food where I tried a savoury langos - a traditional fried bread, with cheese and garlic, accompanied by a mulled wine to help keep warm.
But the choices don't end there.... The Meatball Company are back for more this year, with their large pans of meatballs sizzling away and delicious fries which seem to be a popular choice for all guests. On a sweeter note, there's pancakes with oozy chocolate sauce and ricotta cream or if you feel like a taste of Germany - try Bretzel Biz for a warm pretzel!
While I was enjoying my food and inhaling the brilliant aroma from my mulled wine, a rush of music comes marching through the market and drew in the attention of all the market goers. It was the lively drumming of percussion group Maracatu Estrela do Mar!
With two weeks left of this Winter Night Market, I suggest you get out of your winter blues and make the most of what this market has to offer (and perhaps gain a new appreciation for Melbourne's colder months).
Luna 1878 is on every Wednesday night through August from 5pm - 10pm. See you there!
