Fruit Station

There are plenty of places to buy fruit in HK, but I have chanced upon a great little stall/​hole in the wall shop, that sells the slightly more off beat fruits. Based in Tin Hau, a block or so away from the MTR along Electric Road, is this little mom and pop fruit stall, which does exactly that, it sells more off beat fruits, rather than the standard fare.
First thing I notice is that the fruit is fresh and ripe, but not spoiled. I find in the supermarkets in HK, they have a habit of packaging fruit and veg into bags with x number of pieces, only for you to get home and find the half of them are rotten. Here, like a market stall, you can choose your fruit individually, and they charge by weight, not number.
There is always plenty on display, but never so much that they have to keep the products out to spoil. They must actually do a roaring and fast turning trade.
The main highlight for me and Mrs L, is the availability of slightly odd fruits, like custard apples. Some of these things are not so available in HK, so it’s good to have a stall that has them in season.
Give it a go, the staff are surprisingly nice, given it is a market stall and stall holders can be surprisingly pushy, these folks are happy for you to browse and take photos, even if you don’t end up buying.
