Green Mango Salad in Singapore

5/1/2014

Waiting for the fruit to fall on its own accord, the mango is small, round, green on the outside but wonderfully sweet and yellow inside. The last time it fruited, most of the mangoes had little black worms, but this time, the mango is perfect. However, because of the last experience, no one else is gathering the mangoes.

The mango tree in our private compound is fruiting, with hundreds of mangoes hanging deliciously just at the foot of my office. Everyday, 5 - 10 mangoes would make their way down to the ground and splatter when the cars run over it, so I decided to start gathering mangoes every morning, before the cars start coming in.

We decided to use a long stick with a pen attached to the end to try and hook some mangoes. The mangoes that fell down were hard, crunchy, sour, but perfect for the thai mango salad that I saw in my travels to Udonthani.

You can see how hard, crunchy and unripe the magoes are! Using the knife to make repeated cuts on the mango before shearing it off, we managed to get the mango all sliced into tiny silvers.

Mix sugar with fish sauce and there you have it, Thai green mango salad! It was fabulously crunchy and the sugar took away the natural tangy flavor of the unripe mango. Singapore is very densely populated, but if you look around, there are many green pockets filled with a promise of adventure!

    I care alot about air quality, because since I was a child, I've had difficulty breathing especially in the mornings. I would wake with Sinus and after I got my ioniser, things changed. I stopped having Sinus in the mornings! I've since added a PSI indicator to my blog after the national concern, HAZE that peaked on the 21st June 2013. I now realise how good the air quality in Singapore is, after the horrific comparison when haze from Indonesia descended upon us in Singapore.
