From their website, ‘The Southeast Asian Market in FDR Park is a community of refugees and immigrant members who have called the Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) Park their home since the 1980’s. For 35+ years, they have cultivated an open community space all their own, providing a cultural hub for social gatherings, sharing of ethnic cuisines, and business opportunities through vending. Our vending community has blossomed from the original Lao and Khmer sellers, expanding to Thai, Vietnamese, and Indonesian vendors -- each a part of the Southeast Asian refugee and immigrant narrative of Philadelphia, having found a haven in FDR Park. Here, you can enjoy many native cuisine dishes, culturally specific produce, plants, clothing, and jewelry, as well as services provided by entrepreneurs speaking multiple languages.’ From the Philadelphia Eater website, ‘On the shortlist of must-eats: grilled steak on a stick, deboned Cambodian chicken wings stuffed with meats and glass noodles, nom banchok (Khmer rice noodles in a light green curry with chicken and fish, topped with crunchy banana blossoms and a sugary chili crisp), ansorm chhrouk (tender pork belly and mung bean encased in sticky rice, best sliced and fried with fish sauce), Cambodian pork rolls, and steamed beef tripe and spleen with cabbage and cucumber salad and addictive anchovy peanut lime sauce. Move onto sweets like plae aie (sweet mochi-like balls stuffed with palm sugar and shredded coconut); coconut and black sesame rice cake; sweet banana sticky rice wrapped in banana leaves and toasted on the grill; and crispy fried bananas fresh from a wok the size of a bass drum. The weekend market is open Saturday and Sunday from April through October.’
July – October from 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday
