Lust of the Week: fresh mangos



I haven't had a food lust for awhile, but after a week of heavy meat-filled dim sum lunches and a meat-filled bento box last night, the desire for light, fresh, fare is strong. Enter in one of my favourite fruits, the humble mango. Juicy, sweet, melt-in-your-mouth textures all combine to result in a tangy fruit sensation party! Nothing says summer like some ripe fruits and this tropical beauty is certainly worth picking up. Sorry 100-mile dieters, look like you lose out again ;)

YUM! I love mangoes! Strawberries, peaches, cherries and kiwi are also my favorites. Do you have a farmers market near you? I wish I did! It's hard to get really fresh fruit where I am.

I think its funny when people cut their mangos in cubes like the picture above . . .I strip away all the skin then cut them into long strips. . .but then again, other people probably think its funny when I cut my mangos too! haha

I'm allergic to mangoes, but I do enjoy their smell when I walk past the mango display in the supermarket.

Mangos are my fav...it's so sensual and messy to eat them. So decadent. I always pick up a few when I see them :)

My favorite fruit by far. I had it all the time when I lived in Asia, but it's really hard to get in Europe :/ I just have to settle with the dried version, which is better than nothing.

@Delectable Swank: Ooh yes strawberries and kiwis are amazing as well! No, I live downtown so no farms near me at all lol.

@Starving Stylist: I cut it like that too! I wish I could cut it into fancy cubes :(

@Wanderlusting: haha I was thinking more sticky than sensual but sure!

@The Haute-Shopper: you poor thing! Fresh mango is so much better, if only I could send you some :(

Mangoes are the best! It's a pity that they are sort of not in season in Malaysia right now. Durian, mangosteen and lychee are everywhere now hahaha
