Fine! Laugh at my lame joke, but I get the last laugh now because I had mangoes for dessert 2 nights in a row on Monday and Tuesday. We bought these mangoes from Jusco last Sunday – according to my hubby, there was a large crowd gathering round the new stock of mangoes that had just arrived. Curiosity got the better of him and he chose two. Each was approximately RM3++. But boy, were they worth every single sen.
Choosing a mango that is sweet is really a gamble in itself. Some mangoes look so ripe and almost reek of sweetness, you just have to buy it. But once you slice it, the aroma will tell you it’s far from being sweet at all. On the other hand there are some mangoes which look green on the outside with dark spots all over them, but taste so good. Makes me wonder sometimes how mangoes are so like people eh? The idiom “Never judge a book by its cover” springs to mind.
But I digress… The mango we had the opportunity to savor had every element of being tastylicious. Looking like a million bucks from the outside, what with a sticker that boasted “Best Quality”, I just knew we had a winner when I gingerly sliced off its skin, piece by piece. Little by little, the orangey smooth mango flesh was revealed. I sliced it up into bite-size chunks and sank my teeth into them.
Sensational. It has been a long while since I had tasted mango this good. Just the right texture and color. Succulent. Juicy. Every bite was like manna from heaven. Had me wishing there was more. Even Ethan enjoyed it. And of course, hubby enjoyed it even more. It is, after all, his favorite fruit.
…and we’re going back for more this weekend! Woohoo!

so juicy the mango….alas after my tyroid problem, i m now not allowed to eat mago anymore 🙁
The Giddy Tiger says: Gee….sorry to hear that…not even mango juice?
*wipes drool off face* *ties bib round neck ala Ethan* I want me some mangoes too!
The Giddy Tiger says: Heh… Ethan does drool, but he prefers to go bibless….you want to use one of his bibs then?
Oh! No! Not mangoes! Why is it that everywhere I go I see food on blogs that I cannot eat? Why? Why? *throws a LB-esque tantrum and slinks off to sulk in the corner*
The Giddy Tiger says: Now now….don’t worry. All you need to do is to come over to Penang pronto, cos hubby and I just bought 3 more mangoes! Hehehehe……
My FAVORITE fruit in the whole wide world!!! 😛
The Giddy Tiger says: Then you gotta try these from Jusco – they are so good!
Aiyo…this is painful! Mangoes are my ultimate favourite! But I agree with you that overripe, dark yellow mangoes are really off-putting.
I once bought a whole lot of mangoes from Lumut when I went there for a biz trip. We happily cut it open and started shrieking…there was a little white worm gorging itself on the mango juice! But still hasn’t put me off mangoes! 😛
The Giddy Tiger says: I suppose you weren’t a blogger then, right? Otherwise we would definitely have pictures! Eeeek.
Thanks for the tip, JUSCO, I am coming.
The Giddy Tiger says: I couldn’t wait till the weekend, so I went to get 3 just now already 🙂
i oso want!
The Giddy Tiger says: Then you use your spy skills to get it lo! Wuahahahaha…..
I just had mangoes. Btw, I prefer those semi ripe mangoes – those with harder texture with tinge of sourness. Hehhee 😛
The Giddy Tiger says: Is that more medically hygienic? LOL
*repeats mantra: S O O N S O O N S O O N S O O N S O O O O O N*
The Giddy Tiger says: And SOON it shall be….
Where can I get man-goes in Phuket? 🙂
The Giddy Tiger says: I dunno… maybe just pluck them off trees?
That day Sunshine were selling Rm3 per kg…me grab the big ones…:P
The Giddy Tiger says: Were they sweet though? *mentally plans to visit Sunshine Square soon*
I absolutely love mangoes! my second favourite fruit after bananas. not in season now, but hopefully when summer comes, we’ll have loads to eat here… yumyumyum!
The Giddy Tiger says: So this one’s a preview of mangoes to come!

The Giddy Tiger runs over to Amah’s blog to wait….
You remind me of the Mango juice in Egypt, fantastic! Miss it so much. BTW, What is the country of Origin for the Mango that you bought?
The Giddy Tiger says: These are Indian mangoes.
my house has a lot of mangoes…
next time if you come to KK, pay me a visit, i can treat you a mango feast.
The Giddy Tiger says: Okay! After a mango treat only then can I scale Mount Kinabalu! 😀
* sob sob * I want some!!!! It’s been so long since I had a nice mango. Here the mangos are so lousy. : (
The Giddy Tiger says: But you get good nectarines and peaches there, right? And so cheap too!

RM3++ for 1 mango? You mean three ringgit or three hundred?
You are real siao if it’s three hundred.. Manggo is my favourite too.. but I won’t pay anything beyond RM10 for 1 fruit. 😛
The Giddy Tiger says: Three ringgit plus la. I don’t grow money on trees…. 😛
