cravings for dried mangoes

Nom nom nom


Those who follow my twitter will know that I’m back :) I apologise for my absence and really do appreciate all those who sent me twitter messages, replies, commented on my blog, or emailed me directly. You guys are the sweetest!


So, the other day, I had a crazy urge to eat dried mangoes – like seriously, I had a whole dream about eating a tonne of them, and then still craved them the next day. I went online to look up where they actually do do bulk purchases and they had heaps of online stores which produced dried mangoes! There were even recipes on how to make dried mangoes such as:



Though I wouldn’t bother trying to make them – just buy it! They’re too yummy to have to wait to process!!


This is the mini-loot I was craving! The middle packet is already eaten. haha!! I ate it in the car when mr.CG was driving home because I couldn’t stand my craving anymore!



Dried mangoes are just so popular to the Filipinos that they’ve totally mastered at producing them!!! I’m lovin’ them so much!!!!!!


I always only purchase dried mangoes manufactured in Philippines – because they are famous for their fabulous dried fruits!! All three of the dried mangoes I purchased were from Philippines, and because I’m always on the look-out for the best one, I finally found it!!!!!!!


(excuse my plain nails, I haven’t had time to deal with them lately :P)


Okay, this is the one I normally buy – because it is sold in most asian stores and I thought it was the best one out of all the Philippine made dried mangoes – however, when I walked into corner asian store the other day, I found this:


The brand is Young’s!!!!!!!

And honestly, if you guys see this any where, any where at all, you have to pick it up and try it!!!!!!!!!!! It’s freaking amazing yummy!!

Normally, the thing I look for in dried mangoes is its realistic taste. Most dried mangoes which are sold in those “Made in China” packages taste like they are just made out of plastic – they don’t even have a mango taste at all! The difference between this fabulous packet of dried mangoes is that it actually does contain a mango taste – a very strong taste! It’s not just artifical sugar and plastic!!! It actually has a mango scent to it, and its chewy – its stringy! You know, like when you take a bite, and you see strings of the mango comin’ out of it??? That’s when you know that it’s real!!!

Super excited about my dried mangoes and planning to stock up!



Okay, what a silly “I’m back” blog post!
Promise to update more from now!! I’m going home tonight so my pictures can finally be photoshopped and look proper again!!

    hahaha I love your dried mango post! I haven’t tried that brand but the ones I have eaten are usually made in the Philippines. my mom and dad usually pick up a pack or two. I think the first time I tried them was when I was visiting my family in the Philippines. They make yummy banana chips too! I really should try the brand that you found because it looks really yummy. I also really like those rice crackers that are also in the photo haha. I buy the same ones ^^

    Just a shame you can’t buy them over here in the Netherlands.
