From non-stop fasting to Sydney’s iconic Lakemba Market – where Ramadan has become a mainstream sight as well as the entire area buzzing around the holy month like it wasn’t just a few days ago.
For over a decade the Iftar market has been sitting on Sydney’s Lakemba Railway Parade. Bangladeshi food traders have been organizing this to present local food and culture at Iftar after fasting all day.
City of Canterbury Bankstown Council has approved the sale of ‘street food’ on Haldon Street and Railway Parade from 4pm to 3am during Ramadan.
In addition to local food, the Iftar market also offers a variety of Arabian juice and fresh fruit juices. Among them, the demand for carrot and orange juice is high.
After the Maghrib call to prayer, the busy Railway Parade converged on Haldon Street. Where there is no place to step. Thousands of people come from far and wide to have a delicious dinner. They stood in line for more than half an hour laughing to eat Camel Burger.
A month-long street food event like this is truly rare in Australia. Where along with the professional traders.
