On our last trip to HK (October 2006) we were buying one every day because they were just $8-$10HK. That's less than $2 CDN each.
    Park n Shop has them for $10 for 3 now

    I bought 3 the other day, going to find out how sweet they are later...

    Mangosteens have to be one of the most gorgeous tasting fruits on earth.
