Timely-ness is everything, says my tutor.
So this is when I decide I should take those words on board and allow this one
post to jump the queue. Miss FJ, Miss CC and I popped by Burwood Festival over
the weekend all for the American pop up stall by Miss Chantii’s x Pigout.
The only stall that has a queue that
extended to a 90-minute wait if you arrived anytime after 11am. Thankfully, we
beat that and had arrived at 10.30am. So, times like this naturally comes with
the best conversations. I personally don’t like going to the Night Noodle
Markets (I know, and I try to call myself a foodie). I have my reasons, such
as, why am I queuing for food I can get at the restaurant and paying the a meal
price for a snack size? (Am I contradicting myself when standing in a queue
right now?)
Guess what, Miss CC agrees with but I know
she LOVES to go as well.
“So why do you go then?!” And I thought I
contradict myself.
“Because it’s a case of MOFO.”
“MOFO? What the hell is that? I can’t keep
up with these acronyms!” I know the naughty MOFO …
“Fear of missing out!” I literally repeated
it out loud, “It’s not good when you read it like a manual”
“Isn’t that FOMO!?”
I guess I ain’t that behind with these
acronyms after all…

The burger buns would have been nice to
have been warmed, but I can forgive that because we are at a festival. The
pulled pork was juicy and tasty, soaked in a sweet like sauce, however it was
so tasty and filled with flavours that it had overpowered the apple slaw. The
crackling, like omg it was so crunchy that Miss CC said, “I can’t hear
anything, om nom nom nom.” It was great to have the crunch element in the
burger.

The chicken wings were preferred over the
burgers as they were really succulent. The exterior crunchy and interior still
juicy, we had maple on the side, which was not really required for the chicken,
but if you wanted a touch of sauce you could for it. A bit steep for $12 with 3 chicken wings...
And while we like to maximize out time,
while Miss CC kept our spot held out queue to pigout (pun intended), Miss FJ
and I headed off to the takoyaki stand. Yeah, wait was like 10 mins max only
cause we had to wait for it to cook.

We had the sauces on the side, but while it
was burning hot – it was unfortunate that a few pieces were still a little
uncooked. We did think that it lacked a little flavour, as Miss CC and I did
drain them in as much sauce as possible and still found it was a little
tasteless. A little unfortunate, but made our anticipation for our burgers grow
even more.
So, do you keep up with all these new
acronyms? And do you like to attend festivals as well?
