We all know it as the Richmond Night Market but it's official name is Summer Night Market. It's at the same location, behind Home Depot in Richmond. There are many new booths this year. They relocated the main stage. They had more people selling stuff. One stand I liked very much was the one selling iphone covers. There was many selling them for $5 each. I found one stand which was selling them for $10 for 3. Of course I got 3. The main focus of night market for me is the food.
There was many food stands. Lots of stands with the usual suspects: bubble tea, egg ball waffles, dim sum, fish balls, octopus balls and skewers. We walked around to see what else was new. There was a new stand and it is called Sumo Bites Rice Burgers. We looked at the menu to see what they were selling. It looked interesting. There were 7 people working the stand. From that we concluded that it was busy and the food must be worth trying. We tried the Kurobuta Pork Sausage Rice Burger. The 'bun' was made from rice patties instead of bread. The burger had lettuce, the pork sausage and fried onions. It was good to try it once to see what it was about. It tasted to me like sausage with rice. Instead of eating the sausage on top of rice it was holding it all in one hand. After trying someone new, we reverted back to the tried and true. We had some bubble tea. We had some really spicey fish balls, some fried squid, some skewers, some octopus balls and some tapioca dessert. The octopus balls were the first items on our list. We knew the stand would be busy later on the night. The spicey fish balls was way too spicey for me. I had half of one and I already had a spiced covered tongue. The fried squid wasn't anything too special but it had the crunchy texture. The skewers we had were pork, chicken, lamb and shrimp. It was 7 skewers for $10. But we were waiting a long time so the cook gave us an extra chicken skewer. They were delicious. It had a sweet sauce (may have been teriyaki) on them. Eating a few skewers totally hit the spot because it was filling. The tapioca dessert was small tapioca balls with milk and mixed fruit. It was good. But it was kinda a pain in the ass to eat something liquidy in a such an overcrowded space. We had to stop at the end of the aisle, where there wasn't much traffic, to finish up the tapioca dessert. We finished the night with another bubble tea.
