Mangos are in season right now so my mom went crazy and got a box of it to lure me home. It worked! Plus itty mangos, too! I like to cut it up like a hedgehog then scoop mouthfuls of it in. Heaaaven! If you ever make a trip to Hong Kong, there's a mango dessert chain called Hui Lau Shan and they serve bowls of mango ice cream with mango pudding, in a sea of mango juice, with fresh mango slices on top—to die for!
Have a fantastic weekend everyone...and eat a gripload of mangos!
Happy Friday Finds >>

ReplyDeleteLove your blog btw, it's always inspiring :)
Oh so very jealous! We couldn't be further from mango season :(
ReplyDeletemy favorite fruit :)
ReplyDeleteI have to show Banoo this. Mangoes are his ultimate super fave food, and these photos are like porn for him! He just rips the skin off and eats them up and gets them in his beard and 'tache though. Sort of like a tropical caveman? I'm going to hedgehog-cut it for him next time, though. One must eat one's mangoes with civility!
ReplyDeleteI love mangoes, too. Those look like some perfectly ripe ones! I love the yellow-skinned ones that you have...the Tommy Adkins ones (the red/green skin ones) are the most popular in the U.S. but the worst ones!
ReplyDeletemmm... i'm drooling right now! Funnily enough I have a box on the way myself from my mommy... should be arriving today, YES!

@ Stay under the stars Hiya! Thank you for stopping by and for the sweet comments.
ReplyDeleteI heard those tiny ones are very tasty. We only get the big ones here, like the one in your photo and the ones with red and green coloured skin.
ReplyDeleteHelen
So thát is how you peel a mango! I was eating one today (it was more yellowish, not that lovely deep orange) and i didn't no how to slice it properly: next time I will be hedgehogging!
ReplyDeleteI spy a very cute plate under that juicy mamma!
ReplyDeletei have never eaten a mango and i am oh so ashamed of that fact! mango smoothies = yes. mango flavored things = yes. a straight-up mango = no. i need to get one asap!
ReplyDeleteI've been in India for a bit and have gotten addicted to mangoes! Have you ever heard of the Alphonso variety? They don't ship well, so they're hard to find in the U.S. They're UNBEELEEBA good.
ReplyDeleteUuum, your photography is killing it right now! amazing.
ReplyDeleteI can taste it from here. Great shots!
ReplyDelete@ Nat :( double sad faces!
ReplyDelete@ Süsk Haha. I want pics of Banoo's mango mess! Ok, that sounds slightly foul. Anyway, have fun hedgehoggin' it!
@ Phoebe The yellow ones are my fave too. I like 'em all, like the greenish red ones, kinda tangy, really great with salt and chili.
@ Vintage Scapes Excellent! What a sweet mom!

Yummmm. I have noted that mango chain for our next trip to Asia, sounds like a bit of fruitheaven to me!
ReplyDeleteSmitten Kitchen has an astoundingly delicious mango salad recipe that I make regularly, and which is always a huge success..just in case you end up with surplus.

ReplyDeleteUmmm~ I want Summer back just because of Mango.
ReplyDeleteIt's Winter down here in Sydney. I want Mango Pancake and Yes I agree with Wecouldgrowup2gether, us Asians loves loves noodle and mango.
They opened a Hui Lau San in SF... but the mangos here are not the same. :( Tropical fruits always taste better in Asia! You just made me miss HK sooooo much!
ReplyDelete@ Esther Bummer. Sour mangos are still pretty delicious. Oh, I miss Sydney! If it gets too hot in LA, I might have to escape to one of my favorite cities.
ReplyDelete@ Jeanne The mangos in Hong Kong are ahhmazin'! We have a Hui Lau Shan here, too, and it's a joke. haha. Are you from HK? I studied abroad in college and loved it so much that I decided to join Cathay Pacific for a couple years just so I can shop and eat there. I miss HK!
Yummers!
ReplyDeletemy little one requested mangoes and blackberries for bfast yest...he's for real :)
