MANILA, Philippines — In what is touted to be the biggest Mango Sago ever made, roughly 150 kilos of ripe mangoes were used to make this record-breaking sweet and tangy, creamy dessert. Chef Richard Hao (3rd from right) together with his culinary students from the University of San Jose- Recoletos prepare the biggest Mango Sago using 150 kilos of ripe mangoes. There were packaged dried yellow and green mangoes, as well as vacuum-packed pickled mangoes, mango floats, mango sago drinks and even a free tasting of a Mango Passion cocktail made with one part mango juice, one part Emperador light and one part lime juice. “Our chairman, Dr. Andrew Tan, wanted to grow mango trees in the townships since Cebu is well known for its mangoes,” Hernandez relates. The Cebu Mangoes Festival is envisioned to be a province-wide annual summer celebration.
