Others have said this above, but must say it again, this is the best place to buy tropical fruits in Melbourne, it is strangely like a farmers market in its seasonality, piles of everything in season in different grades but virtually nothing out of season. This is one reason why it is so good and affordable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-51806488491582499242012-07-30T18:30:16.323+10:002012-07-30T18:30:16.323+10:00Little Saigon Market in Footscray is a worthwhile ...Little Saigon Market in Footscray is a worthwhile place to shop, especially in the warmer weather.
