It's watermelon galore as cartloads and truckloads of juicy green watermelons descend upon the city, esp the outskirts. The market price in the outskirts is 3,000VND per kg - about 25 cents. So a 4kg melon costs only S$1!! Bought this cute watermelon today from a vendor along Highway 1A - 3,000VND each. Watermelons here are small - 5-6kg is considered big. The really big ones are available only during Tet (Chinese New Year).
And mangoes too ... though the season seems to come a little later than the melons. Here are three (1 kg) that I bought for 6,000VND (in Binh Chanh District) - less than S$0.20 each. Can you believe that? And it's good. The better ones go for about 15,000VND/kg and they're very good.
