澳洲夜市魅力：美食和異國情調/ Eat Street/Bite Markets/

當抵達布里斯本不久朋友就約去逛夜市，腦中就已經浮現台灣夜市的場景，但知道會完全不一樣所以非常期待去逛「澳洲版夜市」。

Upon arriving in Brisbane, not long after, a friend invited me to explore the night market. In my mind, scenes of Taiwanese night markets emerged, yet I'm fully aware that it will be an entirely different experience, so I'm eagerly looking forward to visiting the "Australian version of a night market."

首先是Eat Street Northshore ，抵達的時候風非常的大，也許是因為在碼頭旁邊，以前是貨櫃碼頭現在改建為異國小吃的夜市。

First stop: Eat Street Northshore. When we arrived, the wind was incredibly strong, possibly due to its location near the wharf. This used to be a container wharf but has now been transformed into a night market filled with exotic eats.

從停車場走一段路就可以看到由貨櫃搭建起的入口處上面就寫著Hello，接著就是給工作人員看入場券。沒錯澳洲的夜市是需要付費才能進場，一張大概是6AUD台幣大概120元，可以先線上購買，個人是覺得不貴畢竟場內規劃真的很不錯。

After a short walk from the parking lot, we could see the entrance constructed from shipping containers, with a big "Hello" sign on top. Following that, there's a ticket check where staff verify entry passes. Yes, indeed, Australian night markets usually require payment for entry. It's around 6 AUD per person, roughly 120 TWD. Tickets can be purchased online beforehand. Personally, I don't find it expensive considering the great setup inside.

走進去之後會看到許多可愛造型的小餐車之外還會有些裝置藝術，例如我自己最喜歡這個愛心霓虹燈的裝飾。

Upon entering, you'll encounter several charmingly designed food trucks, alongside some art installations. My personal favorite is this heart-shaped neon light decoration, adding a touch of artistic flair to the atmosphere.

為這個夜晚點亮了一點愛的燈光，散發愛的光芒。

It lit up the night with a touch of love, radiating the glow of affection all around.

還有結合復古主題的區域，好喜歡頭頂上的disco球燈，這裡的氛圍就像是以前在電視上看到國外的電影還在讀高中的男女主角會在這裡約會而出現的場景，自己親自來了的感受是真的跟電視看到的一樣，也算是圓了我的夢吧。

There's also a section with a retro theme that I absolutely adore, especially the disco ball hanging overhead. The ambiance here feels like scenes from those old movies you'd watch on TV, where high school sweethearts would meet up in places like this. Experiencing it firsthand felt just like what I'd seen on TV, so I guess it's safe to say I've lived out that dream!

如果走累了還可以在碼頭旁邊的餐桌區休息，天色還沒暗，人也不算太多，非常適合帶著一杯啤酒來這裡放空。

If you're feeling tired from all the walking, there's a relaxing dining area by the wharf where you can take a break. The evening hasn't fully set in, and the crowd isn't overwhelming yet, making it the perfect spot to unwind with a beer in hand.

走著走著就餓了於是走到了Diner的區域準備開始點食物來吃，這裡的食物除了熱狗是屬於小吃之外其他的攤販賣的食物比較偏向主食，對於小鳥胃的人來說應該很快就吃飽了。

As we walked, hunger struck, so we headed to the diner area, ready to order some food. The options here leaned more towards main courses, except for hot dogs, which were categorized as snacks. For those with smaller appetites, you'd probably feel full pretty quickly here.

首先與朋友一起點了窯烤pizza搭配這裡很有名的薑汁啤酒，薑汁啤酒還是老闆自己釀造的，在澳洲也可以自己釀啤酒來喝，甚至超市也都會販賣釀酒的器材，我很想嘗試看看但又知識不夠豐富還是喝看看老闆純手工的薑汁啤酒來品嚐就好。

First, my friend and I ordered wood-fired pizza paired with the famous ginger beer here. The ginger beer was actually brewed by the owner themselves. In Australia, there's a culture of brewing your own beer, and you can even find homebrewing equipment in supermarkets. I was eager to try brewing but lacked enough knowledge, so I opted to taste the owner's homemade ginger beer instead.

買完之後坐在中間的座位區開始品嚐，不愧是現烤的pizza，剛烤好的起司搭配火腿非常完美，好吃到差點再點第二個，但是還想吃其他食物就作罷。我們點的是夏威夷pizza所以裡頭有鳳梨，義大利人請不要生氣。

After purchasing, we settled in the central seating area to savor our food. True to its nature as freshly baked pizza, the melted cheese and ham were a perfect combination—so delicious that I almost ordered a second one. However, we wanted to try other foods, so we resisted the temptation. We opted for the Hawaiian pizza, which had pineapple inside. To any Italians reading this, please don't be offended!

再來是第一次品嚐的薑汁啤酒，第一口下去腦中是出現許多問號所以再喝第二口就再也喝不下去了。很難形容的口感，有薑本身的辣味再加上啤酒的苦味味道混合在一起口感實在特別，因為也沒有甜味沒有嘗試過的人應該會很難接受，但人在異地總是要品嚐沒吃過的食物才算好玩，還是推薦大家喝看看薑汁啤酒。

Trying ginger beer for the first time was quite an experience. The first sip left me with a lot of question marks, and by the second, I couldn't bring myself to drink more. It's a taste that's hard to describe—combining the spiciness of ginger with the bitterness of beer creates a truly unique flavor. With no sweetness, it might be challenging for those who haven't tried it before. Yet, when in a new place, it's part of the adventure to sample unfamiliar foods and drinks. I still recommend giving ginger beer a try; the novelty factor is definitely there.

再來是經過一家有賣看起來像西班牙海鮮燉飯的店家，但好像也沒有菜單於是乎我就走過去用我的手指頭指了一下與店員互動了一下才點單成功，拿到收據後我看了一下，我以為他給我他的簽名。

Next, passing by a shop that seemed to sell what looked like Spanish seafood paella but without a menu, I approached and gestured with my finger to interact with the staff to place an order. After receiving the receipt, I took a glance and thought the staff had given me their signature.

後來去拿餐點的時候店員說了一堆但我完全聽不懂只能乾笑。

Later, when I went to pick up my order, the staff said a bunch of things, but I couldn't understand at all, so I just nervously laughed.

拿到後又在旁邊的座位區準備品嚐，還發現桌上多了鳳梨裝飾，搭配著南洋風情的擺設，很有誠意的是使用真的鳳梨本人，實在是太有趣又很可愛。

After receiving the order, I moved to the nearby seating area to enjoy the meal and noticed pineapple decorations on the table. Paired with the tropical-themed setting, what struck me was their genuine use of real pineapples as decorations. It was incredibly fun and adorable, showing genuine effort and creativity.

拍完照之後就開始品嚐燉飯，發現真的是海鮮燉飯，再擠上檸檬汁真的很好吃，後來仔細看收據上面寫的是Spanish西班牙的意思不是店員本人亂簽名唷。

After taking photos, I started tasting the seafood paella and realized it truly was seafood paella. Squeezing some lemon juice on top made it even more delicious. Later, upon closer inspection of the receipt, I noticed it said "Spanish," indicating the Spanish style of the dish, not that the staff had signed randomly.

吃飽後開始散步看看還有賣什麼，經過啤酒專賣店的時候我就停下來了，決定先來一杯啤酒再來逛，於是就在人家店門口先喝起來，一杯大概是5塊澳幣，啤酒達人可以來嘗試看看，我是喝開心但不知道差別在哪，比較下來我認為台灣的生啤酒比較好喝。

After eating, I started strolling around to see what else was being sold. When I passed by the beer specialty store, I decided to pause and have a beer before continuing. So, I began sipping it right at the entrance. A glass was around 5 Australian dollars. Beer enthusiasts might want to give it a try, but personally, I enjoyed it without being able to pinpoint the differences. Comparatively, I think Taiwan's draft beer is more enjoyable.

整個night market區域很大，也有分很多區域，五種主題還有來自亞洲、澳洲、歐洲、北美跟南美的食物，共有70多家，還有現場的音樂表演讓你可以邊吃邊享受音樂表演之外走著走著也會遇到在現場表演的街頭藝人。

The entire night market area is quite expansive and segmented into various zones. There are five main themes featuring over 70 vendors offering food from Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America. Additionally, there are live music performances that let you enjoy your meal with some tunes. While wandering around, you might also encounter street performers showcasing their talents live.

或是盡情享受現場的音樂表演，感染力超強身體會不自覺地想要跟著一起動起來。

Absolutely indulge in the live music performances; they're so infectious that your body can't help but move along with the rhythm.

或者也可以走到戶外區坐著，總體來說這裡是一個燈光美氣氛佳又可以吃飽的地方，食物的選擇也非常多真的不用怕吃不慣，這裡還有亞洲區的美食可以選擇，但來到異地我還是會先嘗試沒吃過的食物為優先。

Alternatively, you can also head to the outdoor area and find a seat. Overall, it's a place filled with beautiful lights, great ambiance, and plenty to eat. There's such a wide variety of food options available that you needn't worry about not finding something to your taste. Even though there are Asian food options here, being in a different place, I'd still prioritize trying foods I've never had before.

Eat Street比較像是台灣有時候會舉辦的假日市集不像是傳統的台灣夜市。

Eat Street is more akin to the holiday markets occasionally held in Taiwan rather than the traditional Taiwanese night markets.

另外一個較小的夜市是Bite Markets，這個夜市離當時住的地方滿近的所以下班後朋友直接開車帶我們去逛逛。

Another smaller night market is Bite Markets, which was conveniently close to where I was staying at that time. After work, my friend drove us there to explore.

門口會有一個寫著Bite的入口處，一樣是需要付門票才能進場，費用大概是3AUD比Eat Street便宜，相對來說規劃就比較普通，這裡的攤位就跟台灣的夜市就滿像的，商家大概40家攤位還會有給小孩玩的遊樂設施。

At the entrance, there's a sign displaying "Bite," and similarly, entry requires a ticket. The cost is around 3 AUD, cheaper compared to Eat Street. In contrast, the setup here is more ordinary. The stalls resemble those at Taiwanese night markets, with about 40 vendors and even some play facilities for children.

Bite Markets會放比較流行的歌曲，但相較之下我更喜歡現場演奏的氛圍。

Bite Markets play more popular songs, but personally, I prefer the ambiance created by live performances.

但讓我驚豔的是這裡的攤販有些設計圖就很吸引我，反而會停留多看幾眼，食物的菜單反而就滿普通的。

What surprised me were some vendors here with captivating designs that caught my eye, making me linger for a closer look. Surprisingly, the food menus seemed rather ordinary in comparison.

逛著逛著竟然還看到有在賣刈包，朋友說她懷念家鄉味就點來吃，不過看起來是改良版的刈包，包著肉之外竟然還出現小黃瓜的組合，看著吃著津津有味的朋友雖然刈包跟台灣的味道還是有差但卻緩解了她的思鄉情結。

As we were strolling around, we unexpectedly stumbled upon a vendor selling guabao. My friend, feeling nostalgic for flavors from home, decided to order one. However, it looked like a modified version of guabao – apart from the meat, it even had cucumber inside. Watching my friend enjoy it with relish, although the taste of guabao was different from that in Taiwan, it managed to ease her homesickness.

（附上澳式刈包圖一張）

而我點了荷蘭小鬆餅，圖片的菜單跟我拿到的食物長的一模一樣，喜歡吃甜品的人應該會愛，滿滿的糖粉跟巧克力醬，大概吃到第三個就會開始覺得甜到吃不下了，可能是澳洲人都喜歡吃很甜，幾乎蛋糕或著是甜甜圈都是死甜的程度，所以後來我很少會吃澳洲的甜品，只有一次在市集買到手工做的布朗尼，完全不死甜非常好吃，唯一一個甜食是我能接受的。

I ordered some Dutch poffertjes, and they looked exactly like the picture on the menu. It's a treat for those with a sweet tooth—covered in loads of powdered sugar and chocolate sauce. By the third one, it became overwhelmingly sweet, maybe because Australians tend to prefer really sweet treats. Cakes and donuts here are often super sweet. That's why I seldom indulge in Australian desserts. There was only one exception—a handmade brownie I found at the market. It wasn't overly sweet and tasted fantastic; it's the only sweet treat here that I could really enjoy.

再來朋友點的類似韓式炸雞的食物，因為我們抵達的時間已經快打烊了，所以很多食物會開始特價，像這盤炸雞就是1塊錢，也是我們吃到第一名好吃的食物，酸甜酸甜的醬汁搭配炸雞非常好吃，只是要再去買的時候已經賣完了。

Later, my friend ordered something similar to Korean-style fried chicken. Since we arrived close to closing time, many vendors started offering discounts. This plate of fried chicken was just 1 dollar, and it turned out to be our favorite dish. The tangy-sweet sauce paired with the fried chicken was incredibly delicious. Sadly, when we wanted to buy more, they were already sold out.

場地雖然不大但卻有給小孩玩的遊樂設施區，雖然這個遊戲區域在我眼裡很不適合給小朋友玩，因為我覺得偏向危險，這應該也算是一種文化衝擊吧。

The venue, while not large, includes a play area for kids. However, in my opinion, this playground isn't suitable for children as I find it somewhat risky. This might also be considered a cultural clash.

總體來說這裡跟台灣夜市比較像之外也比較適合一家大小來逛，但是我個人還是會比較喜歡Eat Street給我的氛圍。

Overall, this place is more akin to Taiwanese night markets and is more suitable for families to visit. However, personally, I still prefer the ambiance that Eat Street offers.
