King Street Wharf Festival 2013

I heart food festivals. The thought of having an endless selection of food stalls always excites me. The live music, the atmosphere, the crowd and of course, the packaging of food where it is served in mini cardboard boxes and plates. King Street Wharf is currently whipping up a festival from the 19th to the 25th of July 2013. I will admit I am generally skeptical of the pricing at food festivals because most of the times, the dishes are over priced but to my surprise, I found quite a few bargain dishes that at the King Wharf Festival. 

King Street Wharf (KSW) Festival

The petite steak from Steersons Steakhouse was one of my favourites of the afternoon. It might appear to be a small serving for $12  but once you break through the pastry lid, you will find chunks and chunks of flavoursome meat. Delicious. And surprisingly, this was so filling that I wasn't sure how many more dishes I could demolish especially when I just started. 

Chicken satay skewers from The Malaya - $12

The chicken satay skewers from The Malaya were tender and they weren't your typical skinny skewers. These babies had large chunks of meat on each stick and were flooded in all that sweet satay sauce. 

Grilled prawns from Kobe Jones - $12

No. 1 special skewers from Wharf Teppayaki - $12

Pepper salmon (120grams) from Wharf Teppanyaki - $5

Pepper salmon (120grams) from Wharf Teppanyaki - $5

The pepper salmon from Wharf Teppyanki was another favorite and one of the best value for money dishes. For 5 measly bucks you got a serving for a fresh and well cooked salmon. The skin was crispy and the meat was soft and packed full of teriyaki flavor. Loved and cherished every bite of it. 

Hot dog

Pad thai chicken from I Thai - $12

Ricotta filled cannoli from Vessel Italian and Bar - $5

The pad thai from I Thai had a good balance of flavor and you can request for it to covered in extra peanuts. The pad thai is made beforehand but it is re-heated on the hot bbq plate upon each order. 

KSW Festival 2013

For the first two days, the restaurants along the wharf will be setting up a stall and serving a couple of dishes each while for the remaining of the week, the restaurants will be offering special meal deals. 
The good thing about these deals is that you will be dining at the restaurants itself by the water anddddd you won't have to worry about the rain. Mother nature must of been pmsing on the day I had visited because it went from a beautiful winter chill to pouring rain clouds and then to a beautiful warm afternoon. Luckily the rain didn't last very long and all my food was sprinkled on! 
Gotta go eat!!
