Chamoy Mango

Me and Jeric wanted to go out and do something after work. He left finding what to do up to me. Normally we'd go out and eat, but we had just had dinner, so that was out of the question. So, while Jeric was at the gym, I had the task of looking for something to do.

I thought movie.. but there really isn't a good movie worth spending tons of $ on. I couldn't think of anything else.. so I started searching the web. I found mini golf.. but then we were like.. nah, that's one we'd save to do with more people.

So, I went on yelp to see if there were any dessert spots I bookmarked. That's when I found Natural. I've been wanting to try one of these delicious looking smoothies for so long. When I worked at EdgeMAC, one of the employees there came back with one of their drinks and it looked like this drink I've been seeing around instagram. So I asked her where she got it from and she mentioned Natural.

Looks like that's where we're going!

They didn't really have the drink item advertised so I actually ordered wrong the first time. Haha. What I had ordered was a regular fruit cup with some spicy/sweet powder on it. Luckily they didn't create it yet, so I was able to show them a picture and ask them if we can order that instead. It turns out it's called Chamoy Mango and is totally not on their menu anywhere!

Chamoy is this Mexican sauce that's a blend of salty, sweet & spicy. Toss that in a blender with Mango and ice and you get Chamoy Mango. It also comes with a straw covered with tamarind! When I tasted it, I knew that this was what I've been looking for for soooo long! I asked my dad if he remembered what we ate one time. It was unripe mango with a salty, sweet & spicy powder. He kept saying bagoong, but I knew that wasn't it.

Now I know! It's Chamoy!

Jeric tried it and totally hated it. Hahaha. But that's because when he was little he didn't like Lucas the way I did. Haha. Hell, I'd eat that stuff now! Sooo good!
