SPOTTED: Mango-Ong in SM Hypermarket Frontera Verde

My husband said it best: Street food is migrating to the malls because that's where the Pinoys hang out nowadays.

Mango with Bagoong*?  I think it's brilliant!

There were countless times I wanted to buy mango with bagoong from the streets.  But I have a weak stomach so I usually decide against it.  But if it's from a stall inside a mall, I will have no hesitations.  There's a perception that both the mango and bagoong are cleaner (both handling and preparation).

They chop the mangoes in bite-size pieces, put it on a mini paper plate and ask for your bagoong preference.  They have several bagoong options ranging from sweet to spicy.
