Cheap Fruit Hunt

I've been searching for cheap pomegranates for a while. Finest had huge ones at 45c/100g but not anymore. The NTUC near my place has small ones at 55c/100g. Cold Storage doesn't have. Giant had but the 2 I bought were rotten at the bottom. Shop N Save doesn't have. Wet market stalls don't have. Central market doesn't have. Why is it so difficult to find a fruit that can be grown locally? I think I'll try to grow my own, hahaha.

Anyway, just as I was leaving NCC yesterday, I saw a huge crowd gathering round a makeshift fruit stall. I went to have a look and was wowed by the large selection. I bought 2 packets of mini mandarins ($2/packet or $5 for 3 packets) and 1 packet of longan (same price as mini mandarins). I also chose a packet of fragrant pear ($2.50) for Tiffy and when I thought that was about all I could carry, I saw the pomegranates. They weren't the red colour that I saw before. These were light brown. At $1 each, I asked for 2 and the man promptly gave me 3 for the price of 2. God is good :-)

I've not tried them yet. Will let you know if it's red inside soon.
