Night Noodle Markets are heading to Auckland

NIGHT NOODLE MARKETS ARE COMING TO NEW ZEALAND!

Kicking off in Auckland at Victoria Park, from Nov 29th – Dec 8th.

It's not often we get the chance to feed our Kiwi friends, but we're making the flight over just before Christmas and commemorating the occasion with our Full Moon Gelato Party. The Night Noodle Markets are starting out in Auckland, before making it's way to Christchurch and Wellington later in 2020.

This year we've launched a brand new Messina menu. Aftering heading to the sunny shores of Thailand for inspiration, we returned with a golden tan, a bit of a Chang-over and four delicious new dessert creations.

Noodle Markets wouldn’t be complete without a custom Messina stand, so we’ve enlisted the help of artist Barry P to illustrate this year’s theme – a Full Moon Gelato Party. Famous on the island of Koh Phangan, The Full Moon Party is an all-night beach party that originated at Hat Rin beach on the night of, before or after everyfull moon.

From drinking Chang beer, to fire jumping, neon body paint and sipping from bucket cocktails on the beach - anyone who’s visited the island of Koh Phangan for a Full Moon Party will recognise some familiar sights and scenes.

Each of the four desserts have been created exclusively for the Night Noodle Markets by our team of in-house chefs. Put to the test by many eager taste testers, you’ll find some of Thailand’s most loved flavours on the menu – from coconut sticky rice to our PHUKET BUCKET sundae which uses a popular Thai syrup called sala.

Night Noodle Markets kick off in Auckland runs from Friday 29th November – Sunday 8th December. After that, our Thai-themed stand will be making its way round the country to Christchurch and Wellington.
