GREATER Dandenong is in the full swing of the festival scene, leaving residents and visitors spoilt for choice with full stomachs.
Dandenong Market culinary extravaganza the World Food Fare on Sunday treated thousands of people to global cuisines and entertainment.
Outdoor hawker market stalls, sizzling hot plates and cooking demonstrations took inspiration from some of the world’s most important river systems, from the Mekong and Ganges to the Murray-Darling and Niger.
Stilt-walking giraffes, delicious dishes and carbs as far as the eye could see greeted guests to the Dandenong Market on Sunday.
Feasts for young and old were on offer – with everything from raw vegan tiramisu all the way to Argentinian ribs and fully-loaded American hot dogs.
Dandenong Journal photographer JARROD POTTER was tempted to taste his way through the stalls as he took in the sights, sounds and scents of the foodie’s paradise.
