Although you can’t get Korbq’s ever-so-popular-at-the-Markets chicken waffle at their Civic or Belconnen restaurants, you can snap up their original Korean fried chicken in its place.

Yum, yum, yum, is all we have to say! Deep-fried banana fritters, peanut crumble and banana gelato was on offer last year’s Markets, however, it isn’t available on Gelato Messina’s regular menu.
However, if you’re after those crazy dessert designs, Braddon’s Messina or Frugii is the place to be. Ice cream heaven, ahoy!
