Mango Season

On Thursday 10.mar.22, we bought 2 deliveries and he brought the delivered lunch over to the Elderlies.

*** Mart30 promo code ***

11.15 am - Nancy of chingchailah blogspot told me that it is mango season so when I saw mangoes listed in pandamart when it was not listed there two days ago, I bought them. Mango Lily and Mango Susu.

11.38 am - ate both mango lily as dessert after brunch. Very juicy so the juice flew everywhere when I am cutting them. One mango lily is sweet and sourish. Another one is very sour. It has fibers embedded in its meat but I still like to eat them because they are very refreshing.

Both the mango susu felt hard and don't have any ripe mango smell. Pandamart stored them in the fridge because they felt cold to touch. Will they still ripen since they have been in the fridge? I will wait for a while and then eat them if they still didn't ripen.

1.23 pm - when I eat mangoes, I must eat the meat on the seeds until the seeds look like what is shown in this photo. Have to gnaw at the seed.

Price inclusive of delivery fees is very good after mart30 discount for 5 items. The bread is for the Elderlies which is the reason I bought items via pandamart because I want to buy bread for them.

*** Dim Sum House ***

1.34 pm - ginger onion beef kway teow from Dim Sum House for us two to share for lunch.

Too much gravy but tastes good. The gravy is not salty so I drank it all and didn't get thirsty at all so I believe they didn't use any msg. Compared to the dry beef kway teow that NuxV recommended, I would prefer the dry beef version because I don't want to have to drink the gravy although it tastes quite nice.

*** Elderlies Lunch Dim Sum House ***

1 pm - the elderlies' lunch from Dim Sum House. Looks good but they don't like it so the food bearer wasn't a happy bunny hearing that.

One complained why so much tofu in the seafood tofu rice. Two complained that the chicken feet in the noodles are too dry. So strike these two meals off their list.

Used Allday promo code in Foodpanda to get max MYR 7.50 off so it costs about MYR 15 per pax per meal because this order provides food for 3 pax because I don't count. 😄 The kaya puff is for me and we love their egg tarts.

*** His food ***

9.31 am - he heated up the remaining stomach pepper soup from Chok Kar Chong eatery bought on the previous day and cooked tong hoon to go with it for his breakfast. There are many thick slices of stomach and a few pieces of pork ribs so it makes one good filling meal. He kept some soup and 4 pieces of stomach for me which I ate with 2 slices of bread during my lunch.

6.13 pm - he heated up the remaining steamed salted chicken from Chok Kar Chong eatery bought the previous day with some rice that I cooked for his dinner. He also put in a few leaves of romaine lettuce from pandamart bought on the same day. A wholesome meal. I didn't eat any of this meal because I didn't eat dinner.

For me who almost always order delivery daily the subscription plans of grabfood and Foodpanda sure help in lowering the costs a bit.

I was surprised the dish has longans in it! I also bought 3 pieces of stuffed bitter guard, that one is quite nice too.

  2. Yeah I definitely saw a lot of mangoes lately. But I prefer to eat the ones that we used to have years ago https://www.tekkaus.com/2010/12/bloody-mangoes-you-are-so-damn.html I don't buy mangoes.

    1. Your red mangoes are very rich in taste and very sweet. I have bought them before, quite expensive. Do you still get mangoes from that tree since you don't buy mangoes?

  3. The mangoes given to me by my neighbours are still hard and not ripen enough to eat. I was told to wait for a few days.

  4. I find Susu and Lily varieties can be very sour. Confused as Waterlily used to be premium and sweet.
