delhi post : mango shake

i like mango. you may see a lot of stalls selling mangoes by the road side, at any corner of congested new delhi, i think throughout india. during summer, the mango season is started, getting sweet in spring. a few types of mango, yellow coloured skin, green and redish. you can buy them with cheap price such as 40 rupees per kilogram. at the same moment, drink base on mango will be among the favourite juice ordered at any stall.

peeled off the mango, get the juicy paste by blending it together with milk and ice cubes. pour into slim transparent glasses, top up with vanilla ice cream and spread on top with some gajus nuts, crushed badam, dried grapes and cheeries. this classy glass of mango shake will be serve to you with very reasonable price of 25 rupees. it tastes nice and sweet, you may feel the taste remains delicious untill the several glasses you order for, ask for more and more unconciously!

tragedi buah mangga ;

hadirmu si buah mangga,
menjadi ingatan kami diduga,
tatkala isimu manis menerpa,
merasa nikmat tidak terkata.

hadirmu si buah mangga,
mencipta tragedi takkan kulupa,
menjejak dirimu ke mana ada,
kerana rindukan manis si mangga.

hadirmu si buah mangga,
dikisar halus enak terasa,
bersama susu halwa dahaga,
menghias meja berbuka puasa.

hadirmu si buah mangga,
kisah dirimu dibawa bicara,
tika saat dirimu menjelma,
tika itu sejarah tercipta.

hadirmu si buah mangga,
mengukir rindu memahat jiwa,
kenangan tidak bernilai harga,
antara kami dan dikau si mangga.
