The Star of the Show: Green Carabao Mango

The green carabao mango, known as Manggang Kalabaw, is a Filipino favorite. These unripe mangoes are famous for their sharp tanginess, making them an ideal partner for salty dips like shrimp paste or rock salt. For this mukbang, I chose perfectly firm and vibrant green mangoes—each slice a promise of a mouth-puckering burst of flavor. As I took the first bite, the sourness washed over me, creating an intense yet incredibly satisfying experience. I savored every bite, embracing the sharp tanginess with pure enjoyment.

The Perfect Pair: Sautéed Shrimp Paste

What’s green mango without its faithful companion, bagoong alamang? The sautéed shrimp paste I prepared was rich, slightly sweet, and savory with a hint of spice. It’s a condiment that carries the essence of Filipino culinary heritage. The process of dipping each mango slice into the warm shrimp paste and taking a bite was nothing short of divine. The flavors complemented each other perfectly, creating a harmony of sour, salty, and umami that left me craving for more with each bite.

Mukbang Moments: Relishing Every Bite

As I filmed the mukbang, I found myself completely immersed in the flavors. The intense sourness didn’t make me laugh—it made me savor and enjoy the moment even more. Each bite was a delightful challenge to my taste buds, and I couldn’t get enough of the nostalgic blend of green mango and shrimp paste. Sharing this culinary journey with my audience was a rewarding experience, showcasing the beauty of simple yet iconic Filipino food.

This mukbang was more than just a food adventure—it was a nostalgic journey filled with flavors that reminded me of home.
