^Any clue on where hes gone? Or has he just stopped doing these competely?

A couple years back he said it was his last year. He had good prices and made buying from him interesting to watch. I think it was $3 for 1 or $5 for 3.

[PJ]

I just noticed nothing but many many hurricane potato stands all over the place, I remembered seeing around five at the original nightmarket last time I was there.

They're not that great.. are they? I've never been arsed to try because the lines were always abnormally huge

They're alright. It's the novelty of eating one. It's just deep fried potato with seasoning.

These places must bank like no tomorrow. How much is a potato, 20 cents? :nyan:

Same with the roasted corn places..



Did anyone notice that new kernelled corn stand run by brown people? Looks disgusting..
Looks like they just steam frozen corn kernels and then add liquid/powder flavor :heckno:

[GGnoRE]

Yea, whats with the hype in hurricane potato. Its not that good....

[i-VTEC]

hurricane potato was very popular when it first came out~ now, it isn't special, but there are still people lining up for them. I would still get it but it wouldn't be the first priority

[J-Chow]

Went there on Sunday with the fiancé. Parked at crappy tire and walked the distance. Thank god I didn't line up on no.3 rd. crazy backups!

The only thing that interested me was a shop selling hd dash cams for $50 and $70 lol

Also, you can usually talk down the price too. Just let people know. They already making crazy profit. For example, a regular ipod shuffle = 39.99 + tax, if a vendor sells a fake china brand one that looks exactly the same for 15, they are still making $10+ profit. I actually know a place in China that make those for about $3~$5 canadian. Cellphone cases as well, they making $5~$10 profit per

Didn't you know? LG's buy them, take pictures, and then post it on facebook.

[instantneedles]

honestly, besides food (and even this is debatable), none of the other stands at the night market were really worth the visit... I could go to ladies market at hk and get the same pieces of junk for 1/1000000000th the price. Yet, people still go and pay for it...

Perhaps this is a profitable opportunity for next year...

I'll be doing a set at the new location, with my buddy at around 9ish tonight

It seems like the River Rock location went up in price (according to friend's fb)... $1.50 for admission now

Not that I mind the admission fee (it's really a stupid head tax)

+1 to the organizers though they are smart cause they'll easily clear 1MM visitors this year EASY

That's $1 - 1.5MM in incremental cash revenue

$1.5 admission is unconfirmed unless true by poster above.

The annual attendance # is taking same comps of the IKEA night market for last few years (# is available on their website)

haven't even been to riverrock one yet, but since they bumped admission to $1.50 im going back to ikea one... plus prbly less of a shitshow anyway

[d1]

Went tonight, the fee was 1.50

[Edison_Chen]

wow.. what a ripp off..

[i-VTEC]

sucks~ oh well at least the multi zoom pass still stay at the same price right? $10 for 12 admission?

[HondaGuy]

Cant believe admission bumped to $1.50 now, they must be making good business...

I think I contracted food poisoning from one of the stands at the RR location. Chicken was improperly cooked. My friend who also ordered from the same stand/food item developed the stomach flu as well.

[cliffhanger33]

ya new night market inreased to 1.5$ yst, held up lineup; place sucked too

[yray]

sao many OGs :okay:

[vvd]

I've spoken to one of the vendors who's been a part of night market for a few years. The riverrock one is, apparently, charging less for stands than what bridgeport used to charge (bridgeport is charging vendors ridiculously low prices now). The admission fee probably has a lot to do with that.

I've been to both. They were both almost on par. Riverrock was really only good for the novelty of it. Food was expensive (more than birdgeport imo cuz portions are tiny), it was a giant hassle getting there and leaving, nothing particularly special was there, and even though it's only $1.50 I'm not too crazy about the idea of paying a fee just to get in. Went once. Don't feel need to go again. If I go, it'll be the bridgeport one.

[yray]

^ that's why you wait till closing :fullofwin:

[belaud]

It's 50c more, even if you're working minimum wage, I don't see a problem with it. I don't see the problem when parking is free, as well as having a multitude of vendors to browse around, whats there to complain about when its now 1.50c? It's not like they suddenly decided to charge for parking, as well as making the price $5 or something.

[blee123]

do any of u have the thought that ppl might bump into u when u are eating a skewer and then that wooden pick poking into ur inner cheek? :heckno:

Went today and was $1.5 admission and was dodging ppl the whole time cause saw so many goofs from highskool that i don't even wana see :fuckthatshit:

[bartone]

The thing is.. they probably realized they are getting so much business they decided to raise the price by 50 cents. They will probably try it out at the new price for a few weeks then raise it again if business is still good....

To protect yourself, you should hold the skewer positing like when you are brushing your front teeth from the side ways, thus you'll never poke your throat.

So eat it side ways especially the Tornado Potato

[jACEDesignsLtd]

I would imagine that given the popularity of the night markets (especially the river rock one), the vendors would be scrutinized for food safety and business permits? Running hot water, proper storage of food, city of Richmond business permits... I haven't been to any this year maybe someone can shed some light onto this

[yray]

^they do have hot water and running water there

Some booth was selling horse skewers, didn't think they were selling much :lawl:.

they all have business permits to be allowed to open a booth at the night market.

food safety is necessary for at least one of the people working in the booth, and they have health inspectors to inspect everything before they are allowed to open

they do random checks throughout the weeks to make sure things are still done correctly.

but then since they aren't there daily, there will be lots of corners being cut to meet demands of food and to save on cost

[Grandmaster TSE]

wonder if revenue Canada checks up on those food vendors....

i don't think they can because the sheer volume of people there doesn't always mean success for your booth. i have seen vendors fail before for many different factors

[Yuffa]

I have a booth at both location and it's a pretty different crowd. Rent works out to the same amount I paid for one at bridgeport last year....xP

Old location has an older crowd in general and way more tourist. New location has mostly younger kids and more Asians because that's where they focus their advertising.

I have to say that the new location is much better organized though....even though the owner is a sketchy snobby douche bag....=\

[Tapioca]

^ Rumour has it that the Richmond Night Market was forced to close in 2008 because the owner got into personal debt problems as a result of gambling. Completely unsubstantiated of course, but rumours don't come out of nowhere.

I saw the owner myself when I visited the Richmind Night Market. He didn't seem like the nicest guy as he gave some teenage garbage guy crap in public.

[Jas29]

not sure but i've heard 3 grand for the whole summer at the old 1

[blee123]

not sure but i've heard 3 grand for the whole summer at the old 1

it starts from may and ends in October. If its $3000 for 5 months, works out to be $600/month which is dirt cheap

I think it should be more than $3000, anyone else chime in?

[spyker]

Why would anyone agree to pay more for something.If the vendors get charged more on rent,they will just pass on the added costs for the overhead onto the consumer.

[Obsideon]

Actually $600 per month, being only open 3 days a week so you technically only get 12 business days to work with. You will need to sell at least $50 worth of PROFIT on your merchandise each day to at least break even (that is considering that you are working the stall yourself) or you will have to split the earnings ... you better have a damn good niche market or you won't be making a "killing" per se ... how many toys or gadgets do these stands actually sell? Doesn't everyone just go there for the food anyways? I've personally never bought anything at the NM ... oh once, I did, those cups with the dice inside haha ... but that's 1 purchase in 5+ years of going there...

[importantLS]

i go once every year...in hopes of seeing the vietnamese sugar cane drink stand and every year since 2007 still no luck, but I go once a year with hopes of seeing it again...:okay:

Oh, my bad I was under the impression that $600/mo was for vendor stalls only and that food stalls would cost a lot more due to safety/gas/heating/lighting/size/popularity.

you think that, but a lot of people do buy merchandise there, it is very niche though
you gotta look at it this way, if these people aren't making money, they wont be back each year, but its pretty much the same people each year getting these booths

and food stalls do cost a lot more, but they can easily make up the cost of rent in a week

[HonestTea]

How much are food stalls?

[Grandmaster TSE]

i'm not certain about this year, but previous was anywhere from 7k to 10k

[Obsideon]

Would you think these "return vendors" get special rates just to fill up the stalls?
Also how about money laundering, would having a space at the Night Market help them with that?... I'm not making any accusations, just random speculation. :)

they might get a bit of a discount for sticking with that particular night market, but nothing super significant

as for money laundering i'm uncertain, but i can see how that would help

[Grandmaster TSE]

the companies running the night markets only deal with the rentals, they don't play much of a factor when it comes to each vendors' personal sales.

they could always ban sales of certain things like copyright materials and create limits if they feel that the market is too saturated with certain items (ie. cell phone accessories limited to only 5 vendors)

[Jas29]

i got the info off a kid in my class who said he has a stand at the old night market

[blee123]

didnt some dude cut the electric cords of the old nightmarket causing there to be electric problems last year? Was it due to conflict with the douche bag owner of the riverrock nightmarket or someone else?

can someone clarify this?

[Grandmaster TSE]

the power pole was cut down the first year the summer night market opened, can't confirm who was the culprit

[J-Chow]

went back to river rock night market and bit the bullet on the dash cam:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v55/seney/dvr.jpg

They had two versions.

720 resolution for $50 or 1080 resolution for $70.
Fiance bought something else from the store, and they gave us a deal, so I got the 1080 for $60 :)

Just bought it for shits and giggles. Don't have a big enough SD card yet, but once I do, I'll do a quick review of this car cam.

Turned it on a few times, no problems there. Exterior plastic is cheapo (expected). :whistle:

But other than that, menu and user interface is simple and straight forward.

*The box says 720, but it's actually 1080. You can change the resolutions in the option menu*

Box includes: AV wires, USB connector, car adapter charger, and suction cup mounting hardware.

If you want to wait, you can pick up the same one for $25 on ebay.

[drunkrussian]

went to bridgeport location yesterday and it was really dead. there were like 4 hurricane potato stands all beside each other. the hot item everyone was eating was this deep fried squid - its $7 but u get waaaaay too much. the guys atthe booth are hilarious shouting "DEEP FRIED SQUID" and SPECIAL NOODLE $2!!" at the top of their lungs every 5 seconds to get a crowd hahaha

[BlackZRoadster]

^ the squid was really good and fresh.

It's not expensive considering the amount but you really need to share it. Me and my fiancé had it and was stuffed full.

[Paradise240]

Went to the RiverRock one. Just typical nightmarket stuff, I didn't find anything too good.

Only thing I bought, was jumbo bbt for $5. My friend had green apple, which tasted pretty much like water and they offer free pearls, because they only give you about 15 or so.

[see.lai]

The new one looks nice and all, but the old one is better in my opinion. You don't have to pay $1.50 :fullofwin:

[rb]

first time going to any Richmond night market. Dont get the hype but then again maybe I'm old and i'm not into annoying LG's + you can buy basically everything thats being sold at the stands on ebay or most dollar stores for much less.

imo, the Chinatown night market is still the best when it first started up and had the two streets going. Reminded me of temple street

Fucking dead hahaha got so much hook up, takoyaki for 3$, 2 egg bubbles for 4$. Bbq squid for 2.50, hurricane potatoes for 2$ each and large fishball for 3$ :D stoners delight

^^ damn i went on the wrong night LOL

i know its not surpsing but one of the egg bubble guys handles money and food without washing up..i'm sure theres more food stands that dont care and plus its hella busy.but i guess im a bit of a germ phobe

on a positive note LG's full force on friday night this past weekend

[blkgsr]

was there friday night...as a white guy that eats alot, the food is expensive for what you get

just a whole lot of crap for not really all that cheap

will never go back

[i-VTEC]

If you guys want to get a discount on foods, go really late at night, probably 1 hour before closing, those vendors had to clear the food out for the day, then they will give you a deal. Last time I got a big bag of pop corn chicken with a big bag of yam fries for $5 Original would have cost $8

[Anjew]

i used to think doing that was a good idea then i realized the food i got was cold, mushy, tough etc.

[i-VTEC]

i used to think doing that was a good idea then i realized the food i got was cold, mushy, tough etc.

Man I feel bad for the vendors that spent all that money renting the spots.

The nightmarket near homedepot opened a week before the RR nightmarket and it was packed while vendors were doing really well. When RR nightmarket opened, all the attention went to RR location. What can they do, Better location, easy access and more vendors.

Im not sure if RR nightmarket will be forever and years to come, because City of Richmond did purpose to transform that location into some massive shopping hotel centre.

But if RR nightmarket will be there next year, I doubt any vendors want to rent at homedepot nightmarket. Pretty much they will forced to close the year after then thew RR nightmarket founder will then take over that location. When the City of Richmond takes the RR location back for developing the shopping centre

[Drow]

i went to nite market for the first time in 2012 a couple weeks back... to the old location. everything was bumping but i saw something that sorta ruined my night. my friends and i were in this huge lineup for the tornado potaters. I looked around and noticed that next to the potater stand was this small stand which a black guy had opened. he was selling chinese food. you could clearly see the difference on how well the the stand / food was presented, and well... the difference on how many customers each stand pulled. The whole time i was lining up i couldn't help but feel sorry for the guy. he had no customers whatsoever, whereas the tornado potater stand's customers pretty much lined up right infront of his stand, completely blocking his stand out of sight.

i believe it was a bad choice for him to invest in a night market stand selling CHINESE food. not trying to be racist here but do you think the traditional chinese people, or even the westerners would buy CHINESE food from a BLACK guy in a CHINESE night market? i went a couple weeks after to see if he was still there and lo and behold, his stand was gone.. :okay:

[i-VTEC]

Yea I feel bad for those people who rent for a stand, but didn't receive much customers.

In the old night market, there is an Indian stand that sells curry chicken etc.. The curry chicken is probably good, but just not nightmarket type of food.

Also, there is a chicken teriyaki stand where this time, two Chinese guy were selling, yet not one goes. I heard the guy yell, Teriyaki! Teriyaki! Teriyaki! yet no one wants it

People think they can just have a stand, and customers will come to you. Thats not true.

[mickz]

You could go to a food court in any mall and get teriyaki. People who buy food at these events want something that will give them an unique experience.

I always get those fish shaped waffles because you can't get them anywhere else.

[Culverin]

you just killed the nightmarket guys business.

The ones that used to sell it at nightmarket have their cart outside Hannam.
Not sure if current nightmarket business is related as I haven't gone in the last 2 years.

[Splmash]

On rainy nights like tonight, do you get hook ups on food? I haven't been to the NM this year yet.

[knight604]

I haven't been to NM in like 4 years, whats new ? iphone cases and food?

[Vansterdam]

and shit you dont think you need but you do :concentrate:

[JL23]

Hi,

I just had a question to anyone that has been to the night market on a Sunday recently. I'm planning on going to the casino for dinner at 7pm and was wondering what the traffic is like around that area heading to the casino parking. I was hoping things have improved but any input would be appreciated. Thanks

It's pissing rain I assume that the NM is pretty quiet on nights like these ... maybe a lot of vendors aren't even open?

back when I worked the nightmarket, there was a clause in the agreement that said you must pay the day's rent if you choose to not open. basically, it's a lose-lose situation. don't open? pay up. show up on shitty weather day? hardly any business and you're stuck outside in the cold rain.

[Verdasco]

thinking of opening up a nightmarket next year... maybe just dim sum but with young adults working there :troll: any tips on opening one? i know some ppl who opened it 3 years ago but quit to due being busy all the time :/

[Energy]

Isn't being busy all the time good? Just hire more people then.

Raining again in richmond, guess the vendors are debating if they shud open tonight or not :lawl:

I had a rice burger for the first time at the new nightmarket. I don't know about you guys but I thought it was absolutely delicious, although it may have cost me five bucks. Hands down the most brilliant thing I have ever had in terms of nightmarket food so far

[Grandmaster TSE]

had that a few years ago at the old night market lol

wats in it??

[AW607]

It's grilled, formed rice for buns and you get a choice of either chicken, beef or pork in between. Just think your ordinary run of the mill sandwich/burger nut with rice for buns

had that a few years ago at the old night market lol

haha really? I never really seen or heard of it a few years back :/

Its so hilarious .....:fullofwin: !


i went to nite market for the first time in 2012 a couple weeks back... to the old location. everything was bumping but i saw something that sorta ruined my night. my friends and i were in this huge lineup for the tornado potaters. I looked around and noticed that next to the potater stand was this small stand which a black guy had opened. he was selling chinese food. you could clearly see the difference on how well the the stand / food was presented, and well... the difference on how many customers each stand pulled. The whole time i was lining up i couldn't help but feel sorry for the guy. he had no customers whatsoever, whereas the tornado potater stand's customers pretty much lined up right infront of his stand, completely blocking his stand out of sight.

i believe it was a bad choice for him to invest in a night market stand selling CHINESE food. not trying to be racist here but do you think the traditional chinese people, or even the westerners would buy CHINESE food from a BLACK guy in a CHINESE night market? i went a couple weeks after to see if he was still there and lo and behold, his stand was gone.. :okay:

[jing]

Went to the new one today... Scraped the shit out of my front lip the entire time I was on the gravel lot. Car is barely lowered too. Can't imagine what havoc it would wreak if my car was any lower. Definitely won't be returning in this car especially once I lower it some more

i went tonight also and felt the same way! my tl is lowered only 1.5 inches and i was like damn this is stupid... if i brought my celica(if i still had it) that had about 1 inch of clearance it woulda been rape!



overall though i liked how this new nightmarket had quite a bit of space to walk in, it wasnt super crampped like the bridgeport one. it also had nicer decoration and felt cleaner.

[dlo]

went yday and holy fuck my car is a dirty dirtayy girl lol

[Verdasco]

go park in casino guys... it has been posted countless of times to NOT go through the trouble and park on the gravol...

[Paradise240]

You could park in the lot under the skytrain, but I don't recommend it if you have a lowered car. The surface is like the moon and I raped my front lip/chassis trying to leave the parking lot because of random rocks. But it's right across the night market, so its a quick walk.

Btw, if someone didnt know, you can take River Road there instead of taking Bridgeport or something. Enter River road from No.5 (If you're coming from Vancouver) and just follow it all the way to the casino. I find it A LOT quicker and barely any traffic.

[melloman]

Went to old nightmarket on Sunday night.. and noticed that the mini-donut place left.. was like :okay:

So decided to walk over to Bubble WAFFLE! :ilied:

[Valour]

$99 bought a package from COP paintball promotions. I got 24 admission+ rental + Equipment. But I need to buy my own ammo.

And jailbait selling porkhock (say that ten times fast)
Nice to see white peeps setting up cultural food stalls! Oktoberfest bratwurst or something

[Verdasco]

I told my gf this.

To protect yourself, you should hold the skewer positing like when you are brushing your front teeth from the side ways, thus you'll never poke your throat.

So eat it side ways especially the Tornado Potato

Time to troll that phone #.. :fullofwin:

[Presto]

My wife and I went on Friday night. I was thinking about getting some meat-on-a-stick, but then we spotted the pizza truck. They had a stone oven in the truck! Incredible pizza. Recommended. Also got the rice burger. Not $4 awesome, but tasty, nonetheless. Parking was a cinch in the free, gravel lot. My car is a bit lowered, and had no issues.

I think 75% of the non-food stands were cell phone (iPhone) accessories.

[Ronin]

I'm going to write a wicked dirty one and put it up there.

[604778]

Anyone know when's the last day? I know they usually extend the length of being open.

[Presto]

Last official day, according to website: October 8

[phunky.FOB]

i've been there soo many times, the thai ice tea booth recognizes me.. dont even have to order, hey know what i want.

where is this booth i try to find it

[Vansterdam]

i found this one stall that has killer popcorn chicken :sweetjesus:

whats the best stand for bbt/bubble waffles and takoyaki at new nightmarket?

[spoon.ek9]

finally went to the new night market on friday night. i gotta say, it was an enjoyable experience. parking was free and even though the lineup to get in was massive, it only took 4 mins to get through the queue!

better organization and cleanliness are what made me choose to visit the new night market rather than the old. also, my friend has a burger stand and i paid him a visit :D

anyways, i like the setup they have at the new place. i'll be sure to make a stop at the old night market for comparison if nothing else at all. there's supposed to be a pretty girl selling takoyaki at the old place anyways :pokerface:

[HondaGuy]

Went there on Saturday night and the corn has shrunk... lol... girl at counter said season is almost over and crop has reduced. :okay:

Walked over to the performance stage and saw a guy dressed as Pikachu dancing in the crowd... LOL...

Ken and/or William at Kungfucious?

[Wormiez]

I've got to give props to the organizers and the parking attendants. Having one of the guys over watching on top of a crane and directing parking to the attendants on the ground was very efficient.

Was shocked at how fast they located a parking spot and guided cars to it...

[spoon.ek9]

Ken and/or William at Kungfucious?

you know ken too? now i'm curious who you are irl :suspicious:

I went to the old night market on Friday and.... it had less than half the amount of people walking around in it. I felt kind of bad for the vendors there, it's not even close to the potential earnings they could amass at the new night market.

[melloman]

^^ Supposedly they're still pulling in profit overall.. :pokerface:

[tiger_handheld]

Pay night market is open until Oct 8
