Guimaras' Best Dried Mangoes

Where I found it: Guimaras Island, Philippines

Thoughts:

Guimaras is well knows for the mangoes they grow. The mangoes as sweet as candy. This was decent but not as sweet as I expected.

It's refreshing and sweet. It's fruity but not quite certain the mango is distinguishable.

McNester Dried Mango

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars

Where I found it: Guimaras Island, Philippines

Thoughts:

Well this brand was a big let-down. First of all, Guimaras island is well-known for growing the sweetest mangoes. That's their thing. I also know that it's quite factual: I have tried their mangoes and they taste like candy! This brand claims it's made from Guimaras mangoes. Maybe it's the way it's processed but their dried mangoes did not look pretty. They looked more brown than golden; it was a more try than other brands; and I wasn't sure it was as sweet as I had expected.

Theo & Philo dark chocolate with green mango and sea salt

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Where I found it: Bo's Coffee, BGC, Manila

Thoughts:

The chocolate is not as fine or silky as most high end chocolates but it tastes really good. The rich cacao blends will with the sourness of the green mango and the salt. Delicious!

Jumex Mango Nectar

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Where I found it: Red Lion

What I thought of it:

Very decent, especially when chilled. I don't think it's too sweet despite the high fructose corn syrup. Though my mango loving five year old's earnest feedback is a lukewarm "eh."
