The One Filipino Food That BLACKPINK’s Lisa Can’t Get Enough Of
BLACKPINK‘s YouTube series, B.P.M Roll, follows the four members as they perform around the globe for their BORN PINK world tour. The latest release included the two days when they were in the Philippine Arena, Bulacan.
It was here when main dancer Lisa revealed a small tidbit of information about her food preferences.
She mentioned that she ate a mango earlier that day. This small and sweet food is the country’s national fruit.
I had mango after arriving at the hotel earlier.

Lisa told the camera that she knew it would taste good—and it delivered fully to her expectations.
It was as delicious as expected.

She went so far as to say that the mangoes grown in the Philippines are the best that she’s ever tried.
Philippine mangoes are the best!
— Lisa
Lisa is not the only K-Pop idol who has fallen in love with Filipino mangoes. LE SSERAFIM‘s Kazuha also expressed how much she loves them in a solo video. Instead of the fresh version, she particularly likes the dried mangoes that come in packs.
There’s this food that I’m into these days. It’s dried mango. So I didn’t even know that I had two dried mangoes at home. This one, I bought, and this one, I brought from a set. Dried mangoes are so delicious, and I’m eating a lot these days.
— Kazuha
She’s eaten it so many times, there is a certain way that she likes to prepare it the most.
I put two or three slices of dried mango in a cup of plain yogurt. I put it in the fridge overnight. When I wake up the next day and open the yogurt, the dried mango has soaked up the moisture and becomes fresh again. The yogurt becomes sweeter, and the mango becomes fresh, so it’s really cool.
— Kazuha
Both Lisa and Kazuha can’t seem to resist the charm of mangoes!
