mango crunch cake

I can say that Philippines has the sweetest mango and that makes me feel LUCKY!.... 

How to pick the sweet ripe mangoes?

Look for mangoes with smooth, unblemished skin, without bruises. Bruised areas and those with excessive freckling  will promote spoiling. If the skin of the mango is wrinkling it it past beyond its peak flavor. Avoid those that have a dull look or a light yellow color. 

Smell the mangoes once you've selected a few nice looking. Those with a too heavily sweet smell are close to being too ripe, and will probably be starting to turn brown inside. Those without even a hint of smell to them are not a good choice, even for storing, as if it were picked too soon, it may never ripen correctly. If you are trying to choose mangoes that will last until your next shopping trip, choose those with a light scent around the stem area.
