This is my blog for this month's - April Kulinarya theme. Our host Lala of This Little Piggy challenged us w/ DECADENCE food and the first that came to mind is mango!!! It is Asian mango season here. I know, you'll probably say whattt? they are always available. Yes, the greenish, reddish type of mango which i don't like. and no, i'm not a snub, i'm just spoiled ha!ha!.. Try the other variety of mango which is commonly called Asian mango or Atulfo, i'm sure you'll agree with me. .Asian mangoes are way better. They are sweeter and not fibrous at all.
This is just to compare and show how big these mangoes are.
I've blogged mango dishes please click http://bisayajudkaayo.blogspot.com/search/label/Mangoes.

1. Slice mangoes thinly, discard the seeds. Set aside.
