The Moon festival is celebrated each year in Cabramatta close to the equinox. This suburb has a large Vietnamese population. John Street is its main street. Temperature on this day soared to 35°C.

Cafe Nhớ is a popular place to try the strong and flavourful Vietnamese coffee. There are variations that make use of condensed milk, yoghurt, eggs and even fruit. We settled for iced coffee because it was a warm day. Their desserts are laden with calories and artificial colouring though.

Knafeh is a Middle Eastern dessert made with cheese pastry. Once the sweet cheese is baked it has a nice crispy coating. Crushed pistachios is sprinkled on top and it is also drizzled with sugar syrup. It's like a hot crème brulee.

This is part of the street art decorating the shipping container that has been repurposed to serve the signature dish Knafeh.
