Here’s how to make the most of the Night Noodle Markets 

How to beat the queues

Get there early if you want to beat the queues. But if you don’t, you’ll know which stalls have the most sought-after food at the Brisbane Night Noodle Markets. The market is open 5 pm to 9  pm Monday to Wednesday, 5 pm to 10 pm Thursday and Friday, 4 pm to 10 pm Saturday and 5 pm to 9 pm on Sunday.

Divide and conquer

Go in a group and leave one person as a table spotter or holder and the rest as runners for the food. You’ll find some of the drinks stands will come to you if you are at the bridge end of the markets.

Don’t splash your cash!

The stalls are cashless, so make sure you take your cards with you, or you’ll go home hungry.

Plan your attack

Plan your attack by checking out the menus for each stall when they go online.

Hoy Pinoy's Filipino street food.

Smoke and fire

The award for most smoke and drama usually goes to Hoy Pinoy’s Filipino street food. You’ll want to wrap your lips around their baboy (smoked chopped pork belly), inihaw na baboy (pork belly skewers) and inhaw na manonk (chicken skewers). No problems finding this stall, just look for the smoke at the Brisbane Night Noodle Markets.

What to eat
