A Hot Bowl of Ramen in July? Yes!

{ back blip from Fri July 10 because blip site was not working - the paragraphs written last night are lost, and I'm not going to attempt a rewrite, so . . .  .  }


Suffice it to say, a wonderful time was had at our first visit to the Richmond Night Market, complete with a bowl of steaming hot ramen noodle soup. Besides the hundreds of food stalls, there were vendors selling wares from iphone cases, colored contact lenses, novelty toothbrush holders, and zany colored socks and stockings ( I bought a new pair of leggings).

The food was pretty good, but not great. (admittedly I'm comparing this market to memories of the incredible outdoor food hawkers of Singapore - shout out to Singapore blipper hsuf!) We still managed to eat ourselves silly, capping things off with sweet bubble tea and slushies.

Extra Photos (at right) include fresh squid on the grill and the sea of humanity eating their way through the night.
