Mango Mania: Load Up On Dessert, Drinks And Salads Featuring The King Of Fruits

With the mango season and summer in full swing, its only fair you honour this fruit and the heat by quenching your thrist with a surprise, more specifically, a Mango Surprise from Shiro. Fresh mango muddle with lime juice, mango syrup and juice, and the best bit -- glugs of white rum and ice, we really don't see a more fitting cocktail for the season!

No need to troop all the way to Thailand for some sticky rice and mango. Just set GPS to Misu on St Marks Road, or Indiranagar, and order up this dessert. Made from sweet sticky rice, coconut milk and garnished with chunks of fresh mango, you may want to skip main in favour of two portions of this! They also have a refreshing Shredded Green Mango Prawn Salad (a veg version too) and a delicious Golden Fried Prawns with Mango Relish, for those after savoury mango dishes.

For summer, Smoor has these lovely mango cupcakes, mango macarons, mango truffles and the star special, the Alphonso Sundae -- that is, vanilla bean ice cream topped with fresh Alphonso mangoes -- a mango lover’s dream come true! Prices start from INR 80 upwards, and they’re available at all Smoor outlets.

Adding tropical flavours to their very Asian menu, Sriracha at UB City and Indiranagar is bringing some mango to your plate. Lo and behold, the Barbecue Butterfly Prawns Satay served with a delectable, seasonal sweet and sour Alphonso Mango Salad. Priced at INR 585, pair this with a chilled cocktail or mocktail, and you’re good to go!
