Mango-Mania






In my observation, mango is by far, the best-loved fruit ingredient in desserts amongst the Hong Kongers.  Most of the puddings, ice cream, frozen yogurt, drinks and even concoctions you find in this town contain mango in some form.

A mango lover will not have difficulty in finding his or her mango pudding, mango pomelo sago dessert, sago in mango juice or mango juice with real mango and extra mango in Hong Kong.  Certainly the best place to be consuming them raw and fresh would be within the border of the Philippines or Thailand - that is - only if you eat them in its entirety.  If it is style and creativeness you are after, there is no place a sweet tooth (who loves mangoes) would rather be.

I just know for certain that if the government somehow decides to stop importing mangoes into this country, it will pose serious trouble to the majority of the dessert houses in Hong Kong.  They will either run out of dessert ideas or they will simply go out of business!
