The bustle of an Asian night market will soon meet the comforting familiarity of a well-loved supermarket. T&T Supermarket, Canada's largest Asian supermarket chain, is joining forces with Marché de Nuit Asiatique for an extraordinary edition that's set to spice up Montreal's summer nights.

As the sun sets, from August 17 to 20, the sky around T&T will light up with festive lanterns while the air sizzles with the irresistible aroma of over 100 dishes from 30 restaurants and stalls, promising a feast of Asian cuisine, from succulent skewers to fluffy dumplings and refreshing bubble teas.

"The best part is, when you discover a food you love, you can walk right over to a T&T aisle and buy the ingredients to recreate that in your own kitchen," said T&T CEO Tina Lee.

Craft stalls showcasing unique artisan creations and live music performances will contribute to an immersive atmosphere, echoing the spirit and rhythm of traditional Asian markets.

Mix-a-bol Ham Chai, Hungry Diana, and Skew Krew will be offering a delightful range of dishes that transport you straight to the bustling streets of Asia. For those with a sweet tooth, Miss Croffle, Golden Lotus, and Zoe Dessert are bound to be the highlights. Beverage enthusiasts should make a beeline for Yifang Fruit Tea and OCHA, while Poke Bento and Restaurant Gohan promise a fresh and flavourful take on Asian classics.

But it's not just about the food. The event is also home to unique vendors like No.76 Accessory Boutique, Sweet Stationery Shop, and Dano. If you're seeking some relaxation, Clinique YuanQi will be on-site, offering wellness services.

"We are incredibly excited to collaborate with T&T and bring an extraordinary night market experience to Montréal. This partnership allows us to showcase the rich diversity of Asian culture," said Marché de Nuit Asiatique founder Yifang Eva Hu.

Parking during the event will be free, which ensures that visitors can focus solely on the rich culinary and cultural experiences awaiting them. It's an opportunity to enjoy a scrumptious summer evening outdoors before the weather takes a colder turn.

So, save the date, bring your appetite, and gear up for a market that transports Asia to your doorstep, and perhaps, even the secrets of its cuisine to your kitchen.

After the four-day feast at T&T, the festivities will continue with Marché de Nuit Asiatique in Montreal's Chinatown from August 24 to 27. That means Montrealers can enjoy a prolonged taste of Asia's enchanting night market atmosphere at Parc Sakura and Place Sun-Yat-Se.
