I Love Gedong Gincu Mango A Lot!

vanidiana- In my country, Indonesia, we don't celebrate thanksgiving day. But through September to November, with the beginning of rainy season in every year, Indonesian people harvest lots of delicious tropical fruits. My most favorite fruit at this wet and cold season is mango; especially Gedong Gincu Mango. 

A Bit About Gincu Mango...

Gedong Gincu Mango, or Gincu Mango, is a cultivar of mango. The word "Gincu" means lipstick, simply because this kind of mango has mixed reddish and yellowish skin colors. Meanwhile, the word "Gedong" means luxury, because this mango, despite its small size, has thick meat and delicious taste. Gincu mango are planted and cultivated in western part of Java Island, and in rainy season many of them are sold in markets and stores.

I personally think Gincu mango is the most delicious fruit I've ever eaten. It has flavorous smell, thick fruit meat (I believe I've said this before), and incredibly sweet and delicious taste. Whenever I eat Gincu mango, I always feel like Heaven....! Although there are other types of mango AND other fruits beside mangoes themselves, I'd prefer eating Gincu mango again, and again, and again...!

How Do I Like My Mango Served?

First of all, I always store my favorite Gincu mango in refrigerator (but not in the freezer!) for 2-3 hours. After it is cold enough, I peel the skin and cut the fruit into small cubes and place them in a plate. After that, I eat the mango pieces one by one by using fork. Tasty...!

Simply sliced or made into hedgehog style, Gincu mango never loses its tastiness.

Another way to enjoy the luxurious taste of Gincu mango is by making fruit juice of it. The steps are just like making any other fruit's juice; I put the sliced mango in the blender, pour some water and sugar, add some ice (or just use cold water), then switch the electricity on. There you go...! A glass of heavenly delicious Gingu mango juice!

    This lens is awesome. I love it. I am going to tell my editors on my Thai News website to write something about this lens and probably feature it.

    I will comment here again once we do.

    Great Work
