What's on the menu at the Canberra Enlighten Night Noodle Markets

The Enlighten Night Noodle Markets are back, filling Reconciliation Place from March 2-11 as part of the Enlighten Festival. With 21 stalls, there's a lot to eat in only a little time.

Here are nine dishes to get you drooling that will satisfy both your tastebuds and your Instagram feed:

1. Kamikaze Katsu Sandwich

There are ice cream sandwiches, and then there are ice cream sandwiches. Gelato aficionados Gelato Messina bring an exciting lineup of custom creations every year and this year's theme is Japanese gameshow. The Kamikaze Katsu is a deep-fried gelato katsu sandwich - sudachi lime gelato is coated in red velvet cake and panko crumbs, then sandwiched in fluffy white bread with yuzu sauce. While you're there, you can spin the Useless Spinning Wheel of Happiness and win prizes, from Hello Kitty tattoos to chair socks.

2. KFC cheese puffle

While it sounds like some kind of adorable fluffy creature, a puffle is a cone shaped egg-filled cheese waffle. The KFC cheese version comes stuffed with Korean fried chicken, and topped with Japanese mayo and shallots.

3. Phoritto

For when you can't choose between the two, Little Kyoto X Pho Real's phorrito turns the Vietnamese soup into a burrito.

4. Poklol

Get loaded fries Asian style at Poklol, who fuse Vietnamese, Korean and Mexican cuisines.Choose from bulgogi beef, chilli chicken or chilli pork for the Chichi Fries, which come topped with cheese, kimchi, shallots, Japanese mayo and a sweet Korean barbecue sauce.

5. Teppanyaki Noodles

They are the noodle markets after all. Get your noodle fix with authentic yakisoba noodles at Teppanyaki Noodles - they come in beef, chicken or vegetarian.

6. Meat on a stick

Hoy Pinoy is bringing their Lechon Rotisseries to the Enlighten Night Noodle Markets for the first time this year - so expect sizzling, steamy, charred and succulent meats.

7. Chips on a stick

If you really can't go past a chip on a stick, head to the Original Korean Twist Potato – potatoes hand cut into a tornado shape, twisted on a stick, deep fried and finished with seasonings.

8. Chur Burger

Sydney's Chur Burger is coming back to the markets, again bringing a pun-tastic range of burgers. Try the Hoisin Goin Bro (grilled beef, American cheese, lettuce, five-spice bacon, prawn cracker, aioli, hoisin bbq sauce, and rice wine pickle), Notorious P.I.G (crispy pork belly, Asian slaw, aioli, pickled carrot and chilli caramel) or keep it local with the A.C.T. (Asian chicken Tonkatsu burger).

9. Strawberry Watermelon Cake

The one and only strawberry watermelon cake from Black Star Pastry is back, with layers of almond cake, rose cream, and watermelon, topped off with strawberries and rose petals. And this year you can try the ice cream version - N2 Gelato has created strawberry watermelon cake soft serve form, served in a waffle cone.
