It’s a surprise to me seeing people doing silence disco and a clown performing his tricks. The best of the night was snow!!! Can’t imagine it’s snowing at the market. The winter market is operating every Wednesdays with fun activities to carry out. It’s so different from the morning one. Highlights - Snow and everything you couldn’t imagine Avg.

Queen victoria market famous sugar doughnuts did not disappoint. It was freshly made on the spot and served hot. Did not know that there was jam inside but eventhough i was never a fan of jam doughnuts, it did not taste bad. The jam was sweet but light. The dough was soo good , not too heavy and soft and the sugar was just right. Price wise: 5 for $10 was a little pricy considering that it was alot cheaper years back. Do drop by when you are visiting Queen Victoria market in Melbourne, Victoria.

#visitmelbourne #melbourne #australia #tripblazers QVM is always a go-to destination for everyone visiting or living in Melbourne! They sell EVERYTHING there. From fresh produce to tourist’s souvenirs, cheeses and wines to arts and crafts, various food trucks, make sure you bring a big shopping bags (or better, shopping trolley!) here. Follow the crowd when you’re there. I noticed a very long queue and they were all queuing for a $1 bags of veggies. Can’t buy those at supermarkets for sure! Address - Queen St, Melbourne, Australia Opens everyday except Monday and Wednesday (but they have Night Market on Wednesdays during winter time).

#wecreate Buying souvenirs during your travel can be a bit complicated sometimes as it depends on the space on our luggage/bag left, the price and also the weight you have to carry after. But no need to worry as in Queen Victoria Market you will be able to purchase various type of souvenirs. There’s lot of option such as keychains, socks, tote bag, T-shirt, woodcraft and the list just goes on. The price is so affordable as you can get about 6-10 magnets/keychain combo for as low as AUD10. A really good bargain compared to the other shops. Besides souvenirs, you can also grab some food as there’s lot of food truck and cafe in the market area offering variety of meals/snacks. And if you’re planning to visit State Library Victoria its just around 10 minutes walk and you may continue your journey to Chinatown after that - only 5 minutes walk. #souvenirshopping #queenvictoriamarket #melbourne

#australiaroadtrip Last weekend I went on a cafe tour with my korean friends. We went to Auction Rooms. Which is a brunch cafe and they were using St. Ali bean. The inside of the cafe was very spacious. It also had a vintage mood combined with modern elements. That day was the weekend. So many customers visited in there. So they were very busy and hectic. By the way, you know? Suprisingly Auction Rooms originally started as a Small Batch show room. I didn’t know that. I just thought it was a brunch cafe🤣 now It seems like there are separate locations for small batch roastery and auction rooms. I ordered a cappuccino with extra choc. When the cup came out, I added two extra sugar😋 Even though They were very busy and hectic, the coffee was nice! Next time Let’s go for brunch as well:) Excellent food and service. We got the pumpkin pie porridge and it was delicious. They were also considerate when my friend asked if they could remove the cinnamon dusting on top. The breakfast board is very well presented and has both sweet and savoury items. But the drinks are what make this place so signature Melbourne, especially the coffee! Location : 103-107 Errol St, North Melbourne, Australia Open Hours: 08:00 - 20:00

#australiaroadtrip This place has great food and vibe. the lamb here is so good. Breakfast board was well combined and balanced, salmon was fresh, high quality and then the granola made it a perfect combination. Barramundi was a stand out, it was baked with a flavor of smoke. Beef hash was ok. However Im not a fan of the coffee roaster here, they roasted the beans a bit dark which makes the coffee bitter, I had the batch and couldn’t finish. My friend for iced long black and felt like it was burn. But the iced filter smelt good tho :)) the building is beautiful and keeps a lot of the original character. The lighting is REALLY pretty, as you can see from how beautiful it made the food look. Definitely a little more on the pricey end of the sort of average Melbourne brunch experience Location : 103-107 Errol St, North Melbourne VIC 3051, Australia. Open Hours: 08:00 - 20:00

Melbourne is a food lover’s paradise, offering an incredible mix of global cuisines, fresh local produce, and innovative culinary experiences. Whether you’re strolling through the city’s famous laneways, visiting vibrant markets, or dining at award-winning restaurants, Melbourne has something to satisfy every craving. One of the best places to experience Melbourne’s diverse food culture is at Queen Victoria Market. This iconic market is a must-visit for food lovers, offering everything from freshly baked pastries and artisanal cheeses to gourmet meats and seafood. The hot jam doughnuts from the American Doughnut Kitchen, served fresh from a vintage van, are a local favorite.

I recently took a trip to Melbourne, and it turned out to be one of the most exciting weekends I’ve had in a long time! The main reason I was there was to catch a concert by one of my favorite bands, but the whole experience became so much more. I arrived on a Friday afternoon, checked into my cozy hotel, and set off to explore the city. Melbourne has such a vibrant energy—there’s always something happening, and you can feel it in the air. I wandered around the laneways, exploring quirky street art and popping into little cafes. After getting settled, I headed over to the concert venue, which was buzzing with anticipation. The atmosphere was electric, and the moment the band took the stage, the crowd went wild. It was amazing to see them perform live, and the acoustics in the venue made it feel like the music was surrounding me. The next day, I spent the morning walking through Federation Square and then hit up the Queen Victoria Market. The food there was incredible! I tried fresh seafood, artisanal cheeses, and some mouth-watering pastries. Then I made my way to a local ramen bar I’d heard about and was not disappointed—rich, savory broth and perfectly cooked noodles. That evening, I treated myself to a fancy dinner at one of Melbourne's renowned fine dining spots. The food was a true work of art; I tried everything from creative cocktails to a perfectly cooked steak that melted in my mouth. The following day, I explored a few more neighborhoods. I stopped by Fitzroy for its cool vibe and popped into a few boutiques. By the time I had to head to the airport, I was full of good memories (and a little too much food, if I'm being honest!). In just two nights, I felt like I experienced so much of what makes Melbourne such a unique and exciting city—from incredible music to unforgettable food and the vibrant street culture. I can’t wait to go back!
