If you’re not familiar with Harumanis mangoes, they are premium mangoes that are carefully grown and harvested by farmers and the Kelompok Harumanis Perlis Association in Perlis.
Since its introduction, Malaysians have been head over heels for Harumanis, and are always clamouring to get their hands on the seasonal fruit.
Despite being available only in Perlis, many resellers and distributors sell the Harumanis mangoes online, but they often run out quickly. And in most cases, the mangoes are sold at a high markup.
Through this initiative, Maybank is letting you directly support Perlis farmers by ordering the Harumanis mangoes via the Sama-Sama Lokal platform on the MAE app!
The best part? The Sama-Sama Lokal platform does not charge any commission, which means that 100% of the earnings will go to the Perlis farmers. Nice lahhhh.
Shipped all the way from Perlis, we received four mangoes, which weigh about 3kg in total.
What’s cool about the packaging is that there is Maybank’s Sama-Sama Lokal sticker on the front of the box. On the side, the distributor wrote a recommended date to consume the mangoes. Pretty helpful for noobs like us!
If you don’t know, most ripe Harumanis mangoes’ skin remains green in colour, instead of the usual bright yellow skin colour you see in supermarkets. It may be hard to tell when it’s ripe to eat, but so long as you eat it on the recommended date, you’re good to go!
Now, on to the taste test. Our verdict? So sweet and creamy! Unlike most mangoes, the plump Harumanis mango is juicy and has a silky smooth texture that made it oh-so-delectable. You just have to try it for yourself.
These promos are available from now until 22 May, so make sure to enjoy them while they last.
