Mango King

Mango King Sekinchan

Remind me not to go there during public holidays!!!

We were there on Raya Day One. Disaster! Chaos!

Super duper jampacked that for the first time I had my mango smoothie in the car!

Mango King was ready for the people but of course crowds  are hard to control. They were ready with their mango smoothies though; they went ahead and blended more so the line was faster moving. 

Mangoes were plentiful. Other fruits and veggies were available too. 

I hadn’t seen the boss in quite a while. The past 2 times we cane, he was out. So this time I had to say hello. He gave me free mangoes!!!

Had to take some pics with the ripening paddy fields. They are ready to be harvested in a month or 2. 

Love my sweet giants!

 

Raya Day One 2023

Day one of Hari Raya 2023 - 22 April 

I had decided to drive to Sekinchan to get my mangoes, to eat with my lemang! Hoping and praying the jam only involved inter-state, we took the drive.

To Sekinchan was a breeze, thank God. The town was exceptionally quiet but when we reached Parit 6 road, OMG there were SO MANY cars and people! Good God. 

Drove straight up to Mango King to get mangoes, thank God for a park in that jampacked scene. Then I received Azahar’s Raya invite, at Parit 8 road.

I was excited… WOW to get a chance to celebrate Hari Raya in a true kampung house in the middle of paddy fields! 

There’s the forever jovial Azahar welcoming us!
