A feast for the eyes, and an anticipated food extravaganza; there are so many tastes to sample from all corners of the globe.   <strong>From spicy Caribbean cuisine on offer at Carib Sunfood, to the tasty Japanese vegetarian pancakes displayed at the Takoyak stall. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During my visit to Camden market on Saturday, I salivated over a massive selection of doughnuts; I munched on <strong>\u201cChinese KFC\u201d<\/strong>, and I relished in the freshly made Vietnamese rice paper rolls made at Kims Vietnamese Food Hut. Worth noting, my taste buds were fired up and excited by these exquisite rice paper rolls served with a spicy dipping sauce complete with fresh chilli\u2019s\u00ad &#8211; seeds and all!<\/p>\n<p>Visiting a market is all about getting out of the house on the weekend and exposing yourself to a world that you may not interact with daily. It\u2019s about meeting new people and exploring their fascinating traditions, flavours and exotic foods.<\/p>\n<p>My weekly trip to the Camden market was, as always, a taste sensation. Having sampled as many dishes as my belt buckle would allow, I regretfully headed home with a satisfied smile on my face and a spicy Indian curry under my arm for later.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nJacklyn Swiecicki <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Camden Market &#8211; a Taste Sensation One of my hobbies, aside from eating, is strolling around weekend markets.
