Alex Vegetable Stand

Very convenient for me when I am walking, I just walk down to Mapunapuna to get my veggies, they also have shredded Paypaya to make Papaya Salad, it comes with the sauce, lime and hot pepper. I usually find fresh tomatoes, papaya, salad, cucumbers, and whatever else is on my list for the week and it is reasonably prized and fresh.

Thank you strange vegetable stand for occupying a section of this even more stranger food court.
Whenever I am in need of fresh fruits & veggies I come here. It’s 5 minutes away from home. I regularly buy papaya, apple banana, basil, onion, garlic, and ginger. The stand even has fresh papaya salad for $ 5.00.
Just note that the shops regular hours may not be the true hours. On day I asked the lady what time she opens and she told me at 9:00am-5pm but she said not exact because she comes from Waianae so sometimes 9:30am. Also on a Sunday I visited at 4:45 pm and it was already closed.

Thanks to hour long gymnastic lessons, I now visit the former 99 Ranch Market twice a week. No, I am not learning how to do back flips but my kids are both getting topsy turvy. And with time to kill I am slowly but surely making my way through all the vendors that inhabit this huge space. Mostly out of boredom, rather than necessity, but I’m doing my best to keep an open mind.
Amongst the many food options there lies in a corner, the Alex Vegetable Stand. They offer a decent variety of fresh veggies which you’d see at any farmer’s market. These days its pretty difficult for me to make it to the farmer’s market so it’s nice to have a convenient way to buy veggies for my little family. The one big downside is that most of their produce isn’t locally grown. I’d prefer to buy local because it tastes better and is makes less of an impact on the environment.
The other oddity that you’ll notice at Alex Vegetable Stand are the multitude of posters with asian airbrushed women staring at you. They’re not nude or anything, but they just seem oddly out of place. Trust me, you’ll understand what I mean when you visit the stand.
