Mango is one of the Egyptian local produce abundantly available during summer. One must try ‘aser mangga’ or literally means Mango juice from any fruit juice shops. The rich pure Mango juice is a must-drink juice for anyone who visits the exotic Egypt during summer. And, the price is ridiculously cheap - USD 1 for 3 big glasses.
The first time I tried the Egyptian Mango was in August 2006, during the ELNG luncheon with the VP Gas Datuk Wan Dzul and Datuk Rahim. I sat next to the ELNG Security Manager Abd Moneim. After the main course, he offered me a medium size Mango! Not to embarrass him, I took it hesitantly and at the same time, naively, I asked him for a piece of knife to skin-off the Mango. He responded cynically, but sincerely offered me a brief lesson on how to eat the Mango in the Egyptian way.
First, wash the Mango thoroughly or use a piece of tissue paper to wipe-off any sand or debris on the Mango skin.
By using a medium size table knife, cut the middle portion of the Mango to divide it into two portions. It is sunnah to apply the table knife towards you.
Hold tight the top part; turn it to the left and right briefly, then split into two parts, one side with the seed on it and the other part is ready to for your consumption.
Use a teaspoon to scoop the juicy sweetie Mango flesh. One must make sure to look or select a good fresh solid Mango before you pay for it. Too ripe the Mango, wll make it difficult to consume through this method.
After completing the first part, use the empty skin to hold the seed on the second portion and take it out from the flesh. Again, use the teaspoon to enjoy the juicy luscious Mango. Please do not use this method to eat Durian.
