Perhaps you're talking about longan? It's just coming into season. It might help if you described it. Longan are small dusty brown spheres about the size of a large wine grape, with meat similar to lychee.
The farmers market has things you won't easily find in other markets, and perhaps importantly in this case, most of the stalls can pack for export.

Maeng's bar, the Pickled Liver, is on a sub soi down Sukhumvit soi 11. Soi 11 is right at the stairway down from the Nana BTS station. Walk down soi 11, on the left side, go past the Zanzibar restaurant and their parking lot, and then you will see the little sub soi that goes past Cheap Charlies. Maeng's place is in the back part of this sub soi, almost next to the Suk 11 Hotel entrance. It is on the left side, just past the Tappas bar.
Hope you get to meet Maeng. Tell her you are a friend of Carol's from the internet. She has met a number of "us" fodorites.

Bill, to me, deals seem better at JJ Mall and the weekend market. But there are some things I buy at MBK because I don't see them at CC or JJ. Or maybe I just don't look hard enough for them....!
