After delighting foodies for the past couple of years, the team from Asia Oasis are coming back to Melbourne for another exciting street food festival. Wander over to Alexandra Gardens, and taste your way through over 200 dishes from over 35 vendors. When you’re not sampling the food, soak in the atmosphere with lion dances, cultural performances, firecrackers and more. The Colours of Asia Festival will return across six days, from November 13 to 15 and November 20 to 22. Entry is free!
Colours of Asia: Garden of Wonders festival
Walk underneath the glow of Hoi An lanterns and see some Balinese huts serving flavoursome dishes. Expect over 35 curated Asian street food vendors, representing a range of cuisines from Vietnam, Thailand, China, the Philippines, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, India, Tibet, Nepal and more.
The theme this year is Garden of Wonders, and if you’re not sure what to try first, you can follow the dishes recommended in the Wonders Menu Passport. Try 30 specially chosen dishes and drinks and collect stickers along the way to win gifts like a keepsake lantern.
Dishes you can look forward to include yakisoba, beef momo, traditional lamprais, Korean fried chicken, flame-grilled skewers and more! Sweeten things up with treats like tanghulu, earl grey bubble waffle and cloud matcha latte.
When you’re not eating and drinking, explore a mini arts and crafts market, take part in lantern-making workshops and stay entertained by over 50 performers and groups. Look forward to a mix of traditional and contemporary performances, with lion and dragon dances, fire shows and even a cosplay runway.
