Took awhile, but I finally made the trek out to Queens Night Market. It was a bit smaller than I had imagined, but there was still a solid amount of good eats. I did a pretty poor job of noting which food stalls we visited, but I do remember what I enjoyed most. Moon Man was the stand out of the bunch for their Indonesian desserts. Their Pandan rice cake, served warm, was particularly good. Being Cantonese, I had to check out the Hong Kong food stall as well, which served a nice selection of street snacks. We went with the sesame/peanut sauce noodles, a classic. Yak in Town is the last stall I’m 100% sure I dined at. Their fried yak dumplings was the most unique thing I had there. I found the meat to be a little gamey, similar to lamb, so if gaminess is something you enjoy, def try it. There were two more stalls we visited. One of which was either Cambodia Now or Thai Yum Mama. What drew me to this stall was their garlic noodles, a California favorite. We also got some Crab Rangoon. Both were quite good, though the garlics noodles weirdly came with a single shrimp. The very last stall served tacos and unfortunately, this was the least memorable. We didn’t take down the name for this one. Around $40 – $50 was spent between the two of us; pretty good value there. My one critique would be the rather small selection of artisans. I went in hoping for more variety and an opportunity to do some thrifting, but they were mostly trinket sellers.
