The Korea Festival was in Melbourne this year. This is the first time that it has ever arrived in Melbourne. It was on one Saturday afternoon in May. This afternoon was sunny. So of course naturally lots of people and kids came to the free festival in Federation Square. It was more of a carnival style there with heaps of balloons.
I loved the Korean drumming performance. It added to the party atmosphere.
I also loved looking at the Hanbok (Korean dress costumes) as they were very pretty.
There were heaps of free samples and things from the sponsors and tasting kitchen. Everyone got a bit of Korean culture in them when they tried the Japchae and the bibimbab. We also tried some weird Korean teas and noodles made out of rice wheat. We also tried these rice cakes which are similar in texture to mochi.
Pity though that the rice noodles didn't have much taste
There was no beer on site but there was the Transport bar as well as the stalls that sold food for $8-$10 for just a tiny plate.
I tried the Korean version of Coconut juice for $2. It had all the coconut bits in there which was quite fun to drink. Pity though this isn't readily available in Melbourne.
Many thanks to the City of Melbourne for organizing this event for students and Meld will have a write up very soon
