47th Street Growers' Market, NYC

Whilst I was taking a walk down 2nd ave, I chanced upon this little congregation of growers selling their produce. It then dawned upon me that I was told of this grower's market before. Well, since I was here I decided to have a look around. I don't know which days exactly that they're open, but I was here on a Wednesday. It's July which is the season for berries. Although the blueberries did look very tempting, I get a better deal at my local supermarket haha.

I did pick up a punnet of white cherries though. I've only seen these once in Singapore and didn't buy any, so I was definitely going to try some that day. These tasted very similar to red and black cherries, maybe just very slightly a tad less tart. Then again, the novelty was quite fun.

oh my goodness.. look at those blueberries. One thing about being in Australia is the lack of produce that is out of season.

I'm thinking of blueberry muffins, pancakes, olive oil cake.......

Fret not, there IS mee pok in NYC! I hear it's available at Chao Zhou(潮洲), on 111 Mott Street (North of Canal Street) and Chao Fang 潮坊 on Main Street in Flushing. Of course, I doubt will be as good as mee pok back home! :P
