PREPARATION:
- For an easier peeling method, simply slice off the fattest part, sometimes called the “cheek”, of both sides of the mango.
- Now score the “cheek”. That means to make shallow cuts with a paring knife. Make each cut about ½ inch apart, and then turn the “cheek” and make perpendicular cuts as well

- Once scored, press the back side of the mango so that all the flesh is standing at attention. Then trim off the flesh from the skin.

Vietnamese banana ice cream(Kem chuối)


Remind me of the childhood, i always went to the grocery store after school for this ice cream.At that time it was 2 cents i guess...It is a extremely thin layer of ice cream,hold by a small long stick and covered with a clear wrap. That's why they sell it for a very cheap price...of course,for the kids like me. I could never forget the mouthwatering taste....Cool me down immediately in such scorching weather.
