Taste and experience the flavours and fragrances of Asia

Why? Nose-tickling spices, enticing aromas, clacking bowls, clashing woks and delicious dishes.

Let your senses be stimulated as the sounds and smells of Asia rise and float over Melbourne once again with the highly anticipated return of the original Heat Beads® Hawkers’ Market.

Follow the glow of incandescent lantern light for three special evenings of street food ambience. Choose from a selection of Melbourne's top 30 hawkers' dishes – okonomiyaki, gado gado, ikan penggang, bulgogi, fried ice cream and more – from 12 of our city's most popular Asian chefs and restaurants, then match your selections to Scotchmans Hill wines and frothy James Boag’s brews.

Learn the secrets to noodle pulling, dumpling making, spring roll-ing and rice frying to the beat of Japanese drumming and other lively entertainment. From Japan to Vietnam, Singapore to Indonesia, walk your palate through the bustling backstreets of Asia.

HAWKERS' RYTHMS

Adding to the hustle and bustle will be the thundering sounds of music, dance and drumming, both traditional and contemporary.
