I love victoria market. But i like to buy from the white(or other races) than chinese bcos they are friendlier. I was choosing kiwi's from this chinese ahpek and he wasnt all that friendly. He kept on saying "Lady, no need to choose. All same..All same" and kept shaking his head at me. I mean, duh......Why can't i blardee choose my kiwi's?!?! I'm getting it as a gift for someone special and i must make sure its spotless no?!
fashionasia: ur quite right, a lot of asian vendors r very unfriendly, not just in vic market but in asian areas like richmond, footscray & springvale too!
I've never seen a buttercup pumpkin and white onion before. Looks like the only fruits that is expensive is the banana. Yeah! I love sarawak pineapple too.
hijackqueen: yalor! banana in shortage at the moment thus the high price!
cost of living is affordable over there.. no inflation meh?
