And the other night I got dragged to another one called Mango Mama by Jac along with a few other badminton buddies. This place is much bigger and brighter than Mango Yummy, but I definitely prefer the intimate ambiance of the latter one. <\/p>\n<p>Looking at the menu, I was a little troubled by how much they charged for the dessert dishes made with fresh mango imported from the Philippines. Is it really that much better?  I finally decided on getting the moderately priced Mango Sago with Grapefruit ($8.95 for large), a popular drink in Hong Kong that features small tapioca pearls and grapefruit or pomelo. And I really can&#8217;t say I enjoyed it at all. The mango  flavour was just okay, nothing special. The tapioca pearls were almost undetectable and there were very few drops of grapefruit pulps,  making the drink seriously lacking in texture. <\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5812\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5812\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/image11.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-5812 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/image11.jpeg\" alt=\"mango sago with grapefruit\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/image11.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/image11-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/image11-174x131.jpeg 174w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/image11-70x53.jpeg 70w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5812\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">mango sago with grapefruit<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Jane ordered the Sago drink in a smaller size ($5.95), which only took her 2 sips to finish. <\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5810\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5810\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/image9.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-5810 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/image9.jpeg\" alt=\"mango sago with grapefruit\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/image9.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/image9-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/image9-174x131.jpeg 174w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/image9-70x53.jpeg 70w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5810\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">mango sago with grapefruit<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>My other friends ordered Mango Fluffy Ice ($5.95 + add-on&#8217;s) or Ice Cream.
