Melody Markets- Chatswood

If only i lived in Chatswood, i would spend all every single Thursday afternoon there snaking on the biggest variety of food that i have ever found. . Melody Markets is a market for food that is hold every single Thursday of the week. Best thing about it is that there are so many cultures that unite at one common place.

 

Fancy some delicious dessert which are on the go? No problem, visit Hontou Box for the most amazing pancakes with a variety of fillings. These go for about 3 for $5 which is not too bad considering that all snack foods are expensive. 

They have special trays filled with pancakes which are in the progress of transforming into orgasmic snacks. The most popular flavours there are red bean and green tea.

 

My personal stash of hontou pancakes. There are like soft, warm pancakes with sweet filling of either green tea, red bean, custard or chocolate.

 

Green Tea Hontou Pancake has a very soft and custard like filling. The green tea flavour is very subtle, which i dislike but the texture makes up for it. 

 

The red bean filling is definitely a favourite. The red bean has a relatively smooth texture whilst having chunks of red bean still there. The flavour is not too sweet nor too subtle, hence creating a harmony of flavours with the hontou pancakes. 

 

If you have ever been to the Melody Markets then you must have seen the ColoTako store which is usually the one with the longest line of hungry people waiting for their fresh Takoyaki. 

 

There are various fillings that you can choose from, you can even choose half and half flavours. This is great because consumers love having the ability of trying out different flavours for a similar low price.

 

All the staff are busy turning takoyaki balls before they burn. The atmosphere of this store is so warm and welcoming. No wonder, they always have such a long line.

 

Takoyaki balls are jam packed with mayonnaise, bonito flakes and other sauces, creating the most delicious snack on the go. What a god send that Japanese street food can be found in the North Shore.
