There were really simple snaps as I was carrying a lot of shopping for mum. So framing was a little off.
Springvale, Melbourne, is a veritable melting pot of cultures. Traditionally, it has been one of the trios of renowned Asian street grocery regions, providing access to a plethora of Asian goods and produce. Remarkably, Springvale is one of the few suburbs that remains open during Easter weekend, Christmas, and indeed, every day of the year. However, the area is plagued by a dearth of parking facilities, an abundance of outdoor smokers, and the conspicuous presence of drug addicts loitering in the streets during broad daylight.
Some of these Vietnamese street foods were exotic and lovely

I bet I could get some very tasty food there.
ReplyDeleteVery yummy
DeleteI suppose addicts loiter near street food outlets hoping for a handout or the chance to pick a pocket or two. (I feel a song coming on . . . )
ReplyDeleteI am curious about the song
DeleteIt looks and sounds like a most interesting neighbourhood.
ReplyDeleteNot as bad as some surrounding burbs
DeleteI like those places with so many different types of food. But not that environment that you say...
ReplyDeleteA rough area to walk through
DeleteTasty signs. :-D
ReplyDeleteSome street foods look very nice
DeleteLots of nice and bright signs. Great pics!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill. Better at night I bet
DeleteGoodness, it sounds like kind of a dangerous place. Are the police ever there? I bet the food is so good! I would love to taste something from the first potato truck!
ReplyDeletePolice are known to stay safe themselves. Mortgage is more important
DeleteThis gives a wonderful feeling of this street! Don't worry about the framing -- it's real life, not perfectly framed.
ReplyDeleteI was clicking the shots by one hand holding the camera
DeleteNo se ve mucha gente comprando. Resulta muy atractiva las imágenes de los puestos.
ReplyDeleteThe Vietnamese food looks delicious. I wish I could buy food from these stalls. We have a selection of Chinese restaurants, but no Vietnamese places. Great signs.
ReplyDeleteI love the small eats
DeleteIt's been a couple of years since I've been to Springvale, but I thought it felt quite safe and I never noticed addicts or dealers or troublesome people in the street. Maybe I should visit again. I'm sure there are delicious Bahn Mi everywhere.
ReplyDeleteThe area has deteriorated pretty badly.
DeleteSpringvale looks so lively and full of culture.
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday, Roentare!
Strange that a few druggies and so on can spoil a place if you go there at the wrong time.
ReplyDeleteThe photos are good, nothing wrong with them, they show colour and so on.
Your post has made me want to disregard my rule against midnight snacks.
ReplyDeleteThe signs are colorful, I hope everyone is safe walking around there.
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a great day!
Never liked smokers since I gave up that bad habit. Big fan of steeet food though.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you can find some delicious food in some of those vans. I've never tried those twisted potatoes.
ReplyDelete...these colorful signs are perfect to capture customer's attention!
ReplyDeleteYummy signs!
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like tasting the street food from thee food trucks on the street. I'd love to have a wander around the area. It must be something like the Chinatown area here in Toronto. Very tasty stuff.
ReplyDeletePor lo que nos comentas es un barrio en el que mejor entrar en compañía, para disfrutar de esos platos orientales.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
