The suburb of Inglewood in Perth was buzzing with a hive of activity as we headed to the Inglewood night markets on a Monday night.
The person behind the idea for the markets is none other than the “Prince of Flesh” Vince Garreffa of Mondo Butchers whose vision is to bring to life the laneways of Inglewood.
The markets have been running since their big opening night on Monday 8 December 2014, and it has certainly brought out every man, woman and his dog from the burbs which are usually quiet on Monday evenings.
For those looking for a unique food and cultural experience, the Gardens of Government House will be open today for the Perth Consular Corps World of Food Festival.
Food will be present from countries as far and wide as Kenya, Portugal, Peru, Japan, India, Mauritius, and Nepal, so foodie lovers will be looking forward to this event of gastronomic proportions. There will also be cultural performances during the day.
Maylands hawkers markets kicked off the season on Saturday 1 November with the theme of Day of the Dead and it certainly kicked off with a bang. It was a full house and when we arrived, we were greeted to a huge crowd of patrons, family, kids and dogs in tow, in the area outside the Maylands RISE.
Though it was quite crowded, it was a friendly atmosphere, with people enjoying their meal, chatting, talking, and checking out the food stalls. Kids were kept entertained playing amongst themselves, and running around on the grassed areas.
The markets had a lively atmosphere, and the usual suspects were there.

Perth Walkabout presents a sneak peak of upcoming Perth events in November, 2014:
Gasp! By Ben Elton first debuted way back in 1990 in London under the stage name Gasping, and was set in corporate Britain.
25 years later, the team of Black Swan State Theatre Company, Queensland Theatre Company and Elton have dug it up from the depths, transplanted it to Australia's mining industry, given it a bit of a modern spit and polish and set it loose on unsuspecting theatregoers.
Did someone say Brazouk?
Yes - the much anticipated Brazouka has opened in Perth at the Regal Theatre in Subiaco.
The high energy dance performance tells the story of the main character Braz Dos Santos.
Braz grew up in Portos Seguro, Brazil, where his childhood is shared with many other siblings, and times are tough, as he spends much of his time out at sea to help his family put food on the table.
As the evening progresses, we are swept into Braz’s other exciting world, that of his passion for dance.
