More of Buddha's Birthday Celebrations, Darling Harbour 2006
Even more pics from Buddha's Birthday Celebrations, which were held in Sydney's Darling Harbour, 6-7 May 2006.
Young Buddhists taking part in the Path to Light Adulthood Ceremony
Buddhist literature
Panfrying roti Malaysian pancake
Roti with curry sauce
Vegetarian rolls wrapped in beancurd sheets
Red bean filled cakes
Tasty panfried vegetarian bun
I couldn't resist this vegetarian bun which was unlike any I'd seen (I can never resist trying something new). I watched fascinated as the Nan Tien Temple volunteers kneaded dough, rolled it out into circles, added some mysterious brown filling, rolled it up and then coiled it into a snail. The package was then squished flat and panfried on a smoking grill.
The bun was flaky, crispy and pastry-like. The filling was "mushroom and herbs" I was told, but I was sure I could detect finely chopped pickled mustard greens too.
Ice kacang
And to wash it all down: a big plastic cup of ice kacang. Sweetened cooked mung beans, cubes of agar jelly, coconut strips and sweet corn kernels topped with shaved ice, a squirt of bright red syrup and a dollop of creamy sweetened condensed milk. Refreshing!

Hi Julia - You can get all kinds of variants of ice kacang in the foodcourts in Chinatown (Sussex Centre, Dixon House, Market City and Eating World). Usually you get to choose which things you'd like (you can choose about 5 options from an array of up to 20).
It can come in a bowl or a cup and costs about $4.50. Enjoy!
Hi foodcrazee - lol. I agree. Sydney is great that way!
Hi Chas - Thanks, and yes the food tasted great. I do love a food festival!
