Just like in Bahasa Indonesia, mango is called mangga in Bahasa Malaysia. It is also popularly called mempelam in some states in Malaysia.
In the east coast state of Kelantan it is pronounced as pelae. So, when someone offers you pelae in Kelantan and not knowing what in the world a pelae is, my advice is don't turn to your trusted English-Malay dictionary. You'll find "bananas" instead.
Anyway, I took the pic above in a minimart nearby my residence. Though this variety of mango has a very odd name, they're deliciously sweet. However, they are smaller compared to the other varieties. The price is a lot cheaper if you get them in hypermarts.
Still on mangoes, the next time you're in Jakarta, do try the mango juice. They're really thick and sweet (unlike the diluted version you'd normally get at "gerai makan Siam" in KL).
But, I have to admit though, nothing beats the taste of a glass of Indonesian jus alpukat.

jus alpukat dengan susu coklat... wah emang enak tuh... bicara mangga, pernah coba jenis mangga apel? bentuknya seperti buah apel, orang sering tertukar dengan mangga gedong gincu ini, tapi sepertinya sih beda...
