Picture of the Day: Only in WhereYuen Long

Where else can you buy bananas on a bike with a banana leaf draped over it?

Earlier this week, I met up with an acquaintance who lives in Yuen Long, in the northwest of the New Territories. She moved there when she was three-years-old, so she practically grew up in the area.

She's a food writer but also passionate about her neighbourhood so she took me around to various parts of town to see where some of her favourite eating spots were.

One area is nicknamed "food street" because the whole street (pedestrian only) was full of eateries, though we were there too early in the morning so they hadn't opened yet.

However, there was one banana farmer who had pitched his bicycle in the area with his locally-grown bananas in the basket and decorated with a giant banana leaf. Soon after I took this picture, some curious onlookers approached the bicycle. Wonder if it translated into sales...
