Harum Manis mangoes - how not to get cheated


A 3 hour drive from Penang gets you to the border of Perlis , the tiniest state in Malaysia .
Thailand lies beyond , but now being June , sees our presence here for a sampling of the famed Harum Manis mangoes . This species of mangoes thrives best only in this state and is only available from May to June thus we made it just before the season ended .

That clutch of mangoes below weighs approximately 2 kilos and cost us 50 ringgit for the whole lot .
You might be turned off by the black spots and think that they are not perfect but not to worry , the fruits are still edible .
