[@Yasin_Affandi]

What a lovely open night markets during Ramadan in Sydney.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi Yasin! We had a great time there and it brought back fond memories of being in Malaysian night markets. We wish there were more of these in Sydney. Thanks for watching!

[@Yasin_Affandi]

@@BucketListTravellers Hi there you guys. Glad to hear of your fond memories from Malaysia. This year, the open markets of Ramadan baazar are many more than the previous years. Few local food vloggers have filmed almost everyday from different locations since Ramadan started last Tuesday, and that are just around KL. Perhaps, there'll be more open markets in Sydney, Australia in the future. Otherwise, you guys just have to visit Malaysia again, hehe. 😀

[@BucketListTravellers]

We are going to try and find a Malaysian market in Sydney (if it exists) and share that video too. Nothing beats the real deal in Malaysia though and we'll defintively be back for all the yummy food!

[@Yasin_Affandi]

@@BucketListTravellers All the best, maybe there are other open markets during Ramadan in Sydney. But if I'm not mistaken, Malaysian food does exists in Sydney, somewhere at the Asian street food center, I saw that few years ago from a video by an Indonesian couple who lives in Sydney. 😀

[@BucketListTravellers]

We'll find it and report back!

[@dimassajja1186]

Happy Ramadhan Kareem From Jakarta..🎉

[@BucketListTravellers]

Happy Ramadan to you too Kareem. We hope we can experience takjil sometime soon too!

I might just fly in from Brisbane next year to experience this!

[@BucketListTravellers]

Awesome, thanks for watching! Are there any Ramadan night markets in Brissie?

[@Sharifuddin_Anwar]

@@BucketListTravellers Unfortunately not. Just waiting for the day it becomes a reality!

[@ProwalkTour]

A true pleasure explore more and more about the city through your eyes. Well done. Greeting from IRAN 🇮🇷 ❤

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thank you @ProwalkTour! We have plenty more to share about our home town of Sydney for you! Anything in particular that you would like to see? Iran is also high on our bucket list, we hope to visit one day soon!

[@aliabdul3914]

Thank you for this video, and thanks alot for showing the prices of the food is too :) So, it gave me an idea who much I'll be spending if i go there.

[@BucketListTravellers]

You're most welcome, thanks for watching! Our hot tip would be to go during the week when it isn't as busy. Enjoy!

[@sam4156]

loved this video, would love to experience these night markets. would love to see more food vlogs in Western sydney

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thanks for watching! We will definitely do more western Sydney food vlogs in the future. Do you have any places in particular you’d like to see or recommend for us?

[@richerick7442]

Very informative video! Thanks for making this and ignore the hater below they got nothing better to do than wasting their time.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thanks for watching and your kind words @romeekgan1527 ! Yes, haters gonna hate….

[@ranattiea]

أجواء جميله 🥺

[@BucketListTravellers]

نعم، لقد كانت تجربة ممتعة للغاية! شكرا للمشاهدة.

[@FrugalTravellers]

Awesome video, guys! 👏🤗 I made the fatal mistake of watching it just before making dinner so am now both starving and deeply envious of all the delicious food 😋😊 I wonder what Mandi means as I noticed both an Al Mandi and a Mandi King! We really loved the murtabbaq in Saudi Arabia, but hadn't heard of some of the other dishes... so would love to check out the Lakemba Ramadan Night Market one day. Oh, the camel burger looked excellent - Lee would love that. I'd have gone for the Green Apple Tikka... I'm guessing there weren't many savoury plant-based options? Once again, an excellent video, and your editing skills are verging on professional now 👏🎉 ~ Mandy

[@BucketListTravellers]

😂😂 I reckon Mandi means awesome! 😜 Interesting question about the savoury plant based options. There were samosas, egg and vege murtabbaqs and vegetarian gozleme and the potato spirals were also very popular too. However I would say the majority of the food stalls, that weren't desserts, were meat based. Thanks as always for your lovely and encouraging comments Mandy! - Jon

[@fahimsaifi7310]

Good

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thanks for watching.

[@wazzasometings5469]

Go down early guys just as the sun sets, before the long lines for food start😂

[@BucketListTravellers]

That’s a good tip!

[@PradeepRaajkumar1981]

Lovely NSW nice...

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi Pradeep, thanks for watching! Do you know whether there are Ramadan night markets in Melbourne?

[@PradeepRaajkumar1981]

The Multicultural Ramadan Shopping Festival 2024, is a vibrant celebration happening in Melbourne's west at Koomail Tardy Community Centre on March 30, 2024, from 2pm-7pm by Ausmc Inc(Australian multicultural communities).@@BucketListTravellers

[@PradeepRaajkumar1981]

Bolan Restaurant, Carlton North Pakistani restaurant, Bolan, is all aboard the buffet train for Iftar. There are two-dozen items in the line up, with the cost per head $42.99 for adults and $21.99 for kids between five and 11 years old. Start with snacks such as dahi bhalay (fritters soaked in curd), move onto mains - perhaps goat karahi (a gingery Pakistani curry) and chicken boti (marinated kebab) - before finishing with gulab jamun (syrup-soaked doughnut spheres made from milk solids). Chicken nuggets, pasta and chocolate mousse will keep kids (and fussy eaters) happy. Come back another time for brain masala. 665 Nicholson Street, Carlton North @@BucketListTravellers

[@Hedriks]

That green apple tikka sounds interesting to me.

[@BucketListTravellers]

It certainly caught our attention! You can definitely taste the apple flavour.😋

[@zuraidazakaria7419]

Love the festive Ramadan vibes of the market. A pass on the camel burger haha but I'll take the green apple chicken tikka. Kinda disappointed there is no Malaysian kiosk with nasi lemak and satay etc but thanks for the Malaysian shout out where you were introduced to murtabak 😊

[@BucketListTravellers]

🤣🤣 I was a little apprehensive about trying the camel burger as well, but it was pretty good! Yeah, we were surprised that we didn't see a Malaysian kiosk there. There was one Indonesian satay kiosk that we found at the end, but that was it sadly. I think that is a missed opportunity and I'm sure it would prove very popular, I'd be first in line for an ABC! I miss Malaysian murtabak too! Thanks for watching @zuraidazakaria7419 -Jon

[@shubhajitbhowmik2687]

Your sound quality is really good mate. What mics you are using? I live in Lakemba btw 😁

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi @shubhajitbhowmik2687, thanks for the feedback, that is really pleasing to hear. We are using the DJI 2 mic in this video and found it to be awesome! Here is a link to it on amazon: amzn.to/4aUSI8z. This is an affiliate link, meaning that we may earn a small commission on purchases at no additional cost to you. Sound quality really makes or breaks a video and we found that out the hard way when we bought a cheap wireless microphone in Malaysia.

[@ruangan.fahmi_]

that delicious camel burger makes me drool!!

[@BucketListTravellers]

It was very tasty, glad I gave it a go. We had two meat patties as well, so a lot of camel to try!😋😋 Thanks for watching @ruangan.fahmi_

[@ryanhp3170]

Went there a couple of years ago and never again. The food was exy. Alot of people and long queues everywhere. There were many potato spiral on stick and quite expensive. Easy money. We saw this camel burger stall and they were halving the meat patties because there were lots of people queuing. I certainly hoped they did not charge normal price for half a patty.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi Ryan, we have to agree with you about the food being exy. Sadly it is just the reality of living in Sydney. You are also right about a lot of people being there and the queues. We found that the queues were good between 6pm-7:00pm and after that it got really busy. Thanks for watching!

[@mariamjaf6010]

They are small businesses after all that are trying to make an earning and keep Up with inflation. We don’t realise that we’re spending an amount not very different to their pricing everytime we shop at our local supermarkets.

[@be4wd]

Any recommendations for the Best Sydney night market only here for the weekend. Thanks

[@BucketListTravellers]

Good question. There aren’t too many regular night markets to choose from in Sydney and something we need to dig into more. If you are around tonight (Friday), there is a weekly Chinatown night market in Haymarket. That is probably your best bet.

[@be4wd]

Perfect yep I think we’re gonna go check it out. Thanks

[@tiggakayz]

I don't understand why we can't do this all across Sydney without ramadan on a regular basis that's what the rest of the world does particularly in Asia

[@detroitdawg81]

Because this crowd is the blessings of Ramadan, try it without Ramadan and Muslims and it will fail

[@tiggakayz]

@@detroitdawg81 lol

[@BucketListTravellers]

We agree with you. We miss all the Asian food markets. The pop up markets here tend to be temporary and generally really exy. 😢
