October is Good Food Month and last Friday was the last night the Noodle Markets were held. at Hyde Park, and I went to check it out. The atmosphere was amazing, the north side of the park packed with people chatting, drinking, eating. Musing blaring in the background and an array of coloured lighting transformed the trees and walkways.
The food on offer was pretty good too. The best part? The fact that I went at 8.30pm. The stalls all close at 9.30pm, and it's the time to flog off whatever they had left. This means shorter queues, and cheaper food. I also got to try out the Citi VIP area. The area is just a small barricaded area in the middle of everything, and it had a private bar, and some candle lit tables draped with red table cloth. It gave a very intimate feel to the area. The noodle markets were very well carried out, and I'll be back next year for sure.
After the noodle markets, I headed to World Bar with some friends. For a bar right in the heart of the Cross, we were told that we would only get in if we were casual and not business attire. One of my friends had to go buy a t-shirt from a near by shop after he turned up in a dressy shirt. The bar was pretty packed and a live band was playing. The trademark for the bar though had to be their teapots. Several cocktails - Long Island Iced Tea, Tropicana, etc, are served in teapots you would find at a Yum Cha restaurant. One pot is about 7 shots, which is pretty awesome!
