AWE-STRUCK!!!

Close encounter with the MOST EXPENSIVE Mango I have ever come across at 'Freshway Foodmart, Markham'!

Price of these two ' Miyazaki Kamyuku Mango ' ( $150 ) = Cost of a tasting menu dinner at ALO!!

BTW, those $10 each ' Gamagori Kankitsu Kumiai Tangerine Orange ' managed to play 2nd fiddle only!! :D

      Money aside, apparently this Miyazaki mango is the pride and joy of the Japanese and revered by Mango lovers all over the world......not unlike Alba White Truffles to the Italians.
      Experts actually use ' Brix ' measuring system, used for measuring sweetness in dessert wines, to monitor the sugar level of the fruit and ensure they meet the desired, regulated, sweetness level prior to selling these priced ones in ' auctions'!

      May be I'll try one if I win the lottery next week?! Ha!:D
