"Black Gold"
Wednesday, July 01, 2009
Last week, i went to morning market, i saw this "black gold", first glance at it, it look like mangoes to me, but how come so big mangoes? I ask the vege seller, what is it, he told me it is "black gold" from Bidor, hardly got. I asked, "is it sweet?" because i don't take sour stuff, he said "yea, very very sweet" but looking at the green skin it look sourish to me.
The vege seller told me, just keep it out for a day, don't put in fridge then can eat it the next day. I still find it funny, by looking at that big mangoes!! It cost me RM9 for just one mangoes. Sat, Elaine was at my house to pick up something, i show her the mangoes, i ask her whether she know what is it or not. She and her hub said "mangoes lo!!" hahahhahah To me, it still look like vege or something that fall under "cucumber" group.
this is call "black gold" wor...
see the plate underneath, cannot fit the mangoes

This type of mango is called " harum manis". The skin will always stay green even though ripe. There is a big plantation in Perlis for this type of mango and the season to get it is only around March every year.
I know it because Perlis is my hometown :). Every year my hubby will wait for this season then we will buy a big pack back to penang. We miss it this year because we didn't go back during the season time. -

I love most apple mangoes, very sweet with a tingle of freshly sour.
You know, after the Tsunami, Aceh produced the yummiest mangoes I've ever ate, maybe the mangoes trees were fattened with very nutritious fertilizer... you know what i mean? -
