Okie. I decided to make a icy-cold mango slushy as a hot-weather pick-me-up! Lots of crushed ice, a mangoe and a small pomelo/grapefruit.
Mango slushy, mango drink/dessert (serve 2)
How to: Blend/puree half the quantity of mangoes slices, and keep the rest in slices. Mix the crushed ice with the mango puree, add in remaining mango slices, and drop in few slices of sweet pomelo/grapefruit. Serve icy-cold in cocktail glass or a dessert bowl.

Hi Chipmunk, Is your mango from R99? It looks really sweet and "meaty".
ReplyDeleteHoard those snacks!
ReplyDelete... I do it too.
when i cut mango like that i just eat from the skin :) no fair...it's not very hot here yet!
ReplyDeleteThis is actually a very informative blog, especially to beginners. A month ago, I had invited our church pastor to our home. After dinner, I took a few pomelo and a knife. I started to use the knife and cut the pomelo into slices. Juices flowed out and after minutes of "agony", with politeness the pastor said, "Lee Ping, you are very attentive to details, we just peel our pomelos".
ReplyDeletesimcooks, this one was less sweet than the one I featured in the halibut dish. That one(Peru Mango) was from Olsen Cherry(not cheap, though). This one, I think I got from SF. Not as sweet and much cheaper. The only mangoes I saw and bought from R99 are manila mangoes. Sweet but no meat and very fibrous.
ReplyDeletechubbypanda, yes, I'm still doing it and will do it. *lol*
ReplyDeleteNo one can stop me. Mr. TF wants to ransack all the pantry cabinets and
find out where I keep my snacks now!!!
eliza, yep! I just eat those meaty cubes from the skin.
ReplyDeleteNah...you won't like it so hot. I prefer the 60F-ish temp.:D
lee ping, my mom does it this way, so I followed.:D
If you peel the pomelo like this, it should work. But if you peel a grapefruit this way- there will still be juices flowing out.
tiger, I put all my snacks next to my recliner hehe, very reachable, and if tt's not enough, the kitchen got somemore hehe..:) btw, the pomelo skin, you can use that to braise some kinda meat dish, very yummy too, bit citrusy n light :)
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the mango pitters on the market? How ingenious!

Oh... so this is the way they cut the mango and peel the pomelo! I used to wonder how people cut the mango into this shape...
ReplyDeleteMW, wah...got recliner somemore, enjoy life har :D
ReplyDeleteYep, I have some out in the open, some in the kitchen, and even some under the bed...*lol*
Thks for the pomelo skin tip! Shall not waste it next time. I thought maybe you will ask me to keep the skin for some red bean paste dessert...they use orange skin for that. Wonder if pomelo skin can substitute...heh heh..
Vicki, cool gadget! Do you own one?
ReplyDeleteomnivore, use small paring knife can do the job.
But look at the gadget my reader Vicki just linked to...cool, isn't it?
I hoard my snacks too! Then I forget about them, they expire or go bad or whatever and then I'm sad. lol. Your mango and pomelo slushie looks so refreshing. I can't wait to try it this summer. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds yummy! I love mango ice-cream and mango sorbet. So I can imagine how delicious this dessert is.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love grapefruit and pomelo.
Looks extremely refreshing--and healthy, too!
ReplyDeleteToday, went out for Mother's Day lunch. We had mango puree like that, but now I know what they miss out! The did not put in the Pomelo!
ReplyDeletethats my fav dessert of all time, mango slushy!!
ReplyDeleteamy, hahah....that's what has happened to me sometimes too! So I TRY..to remember.
ReplyDeleteTry this summer dessert!
ming merciless, the mango dessert actually goes better with pomelo but it's easier
to find grapefruit than pomelo here. So grapefruit is the next alternative :)
Urban Vegan, it is refreshing! Esp when the weather is hot! Thks for visiting:D
ReplyDeletekeropok man, for this dessert, I was inspired by Curry Favor...they even put
ReplyDeletealoe vera cubes in theirs...for that I omitted.
zeezee, woohoo....get even get brain freeze sometimes, esp on the first mouthful ;p
