In Cambodia, mango is not one flavour or one season. It changes through the year, and there is more than one way to enjoy it.
Picked green, it is crisp and sharp, eaten with a little salt and chilli. Left to ripen, the same kind turns soft, fragrant and deeply sweet.
The most famous is Keo Romeat, Cambodia’s signature variety. It makes up over 80% of the country’s mango and, thanks to the climate, ripens more than once a year.
Mango trees grow in every province, and the fruit runs through daily life here, from fresh slices and street snacks to juices, desserts and a cold mango shake.
At Apsara, we lean towards that last one, especially when the sun is high and the sea is a few steps away.
So which one are you, fresh mango or mango shake?
