An Asian fusion-inspired street food pop-up? Here’s the scoop.

Organised by The Reckless Chef, you’ll find ’em anchoring their food stall in Dunmore on the Harbour. Serving up all kinds of delish street food, the menu is Asian fusion inspired.

And yes, there will be banh mi – including a new (saucy as always) vegan version made from Thai peanut tofu and pineapple.

Amongst the other bits on offer, you’ll find plenty of fermented foods and drinks – the likes of kimchi mayo and kombucha. We love us some ‘buch.

You should note that this is a cash-only event though so make sure to hit up the ATM before heading down… there’s nothing I’d rather spend my communion money on more tbh.

The street food pop-up will be at East Pier in Dunmore from 1pm to sell out.
