Cyrus,

Several markets claim to be selling cebu and guimaras mangoes, the two places that seem to have really good ones… I get mine at the Saturday market at FTI Taguig which seems to have a lot of them. I suspect some of the same vendors also make their way to the Sunday market at the Lung Center in QC which is closer to you. Farmer’s Market in Cubao should also be a good choice for looking for mangoes…good luck!

Hi Marketman,

I would like to ask where I can buy good mangoes here in Metro Manila, by good, I mean those of the Zambales and Cebu variety. Are there markets here in Metro Manila which sell these mangoes?

I have only known mangoes sold in the local markets near our vicinity (SM North Edsa, Quezon City). I have yet to taste the best mangoes that our country has to offer.

Thanks Rick, will keep my eyes out for those Australian ones, though I do like our own varieties… Erleen, sounds like you had big-time mango access as a kid!

The Australian variety mangoes are now being sold in ECJ Farms in Tiendesitas for P110 per kilo. I think they call this the R2E2 variety. I’ve tasted these before and still think the local Kalabaw’s better, but it’s worth a try.

i forgot to say that we have several kalabaw trees. my mom would cook alamang by the Caterplan-size mayonnaise jars. we would always sungkit the bubot ones and eat them while swimming sa ilog.

YUM. YUM. YUM.

sarap ng site na to.

nothing beats bubot na manggang kalabaw!(the ones that are sobrang hilaw that when you slice them, the seed breaks apart, no strings whatsover)the more bubot, the better.

They are the best with my mom’s bagongg alamang, sweet and slightly spicy with rock salt sprinkled at the top.

yun ang pinaglihian ko when I was pregnant. good thing it was mango season. i was eating it at 1am in the morning at 8am in the ofc. yumyum! *mouth watering excessively*

Wow! All these comments are making my mouth water. I grew up in Iloilo so i’m used to eating Guimaras mangoes. Leon town in Iloilo can also boast their century old mango trees which comes close to the Guimaras mangoes in sweetness. I love eatng green mangoes in sinamak, soy sauce and bagoong. My mom also make these burong fish liver we call una. These aloy fish we call in Ilonggo I think is a family of tuna. Aren’t they baby tuna? Whatever. hehehe…I don’t know anybody else making this una but the neighbors are always asking my mom to make one. It looks awful but it does taste good with green mangoes.
