Give the mangoes a good sniff! A really ripe one will have a strong, sweet aroma. Also, gently squeeze them – they should yield to gentle pressure, but not be mushy.

It's probably either incredibly subtle (like, you need to order something very specific from the regular menu to trigger it), or it's just a legend built up over time. Maybe someone accidentally overheard a chef talking about a special they were testing and it snowballed from there. Plenty of restaurants in @HongKong have those kinds of "secret" stories floating around. Could be totally fake, or maybe you just weren't secret enough. 😉
