Ripe and green mangoes are in this summer in my country , both are delicious and is my favorite as desert or snack . Some Filipinos dip mangoes with their favorite dips to enjoy its taste more. Asians like me have a variety of dips to boost our food's taste even more. Sometimes I like spicy dips or sweet and sour ones or a combination of both , it is truly so delish when there's dip around. For green mangoes usually they dip it with salty dips and spicy dips or sometimes sweet and sour or both. Same goes with the ripe ones, although some with ripe mangoes , it is sweet already they do not dip it anymore and just eat it as is . Mangoes when ripe are so juicy and you will want to eat more. In my picture here, the mango is half ripe and green on the other side, I am dipping it with shrimp paste or what we call it bagoong in tagalog. The taste is heaven.. Do you love mangoes too? Have you tried mangoes dipped in shrimp paste or any dips available in your country? How was the taste?

I love the ripe ones more than the green ones. But sometimes I do crave sour green mangoes with a flavorful shrimp paste to go with it.

Yes, we like mangoes that we eat as a dessert, with a little lime juice. I also prepare a mango chutney that is delicious. We do not like shrimp paste.
