My Notes:
A simple yummy dessert best relished when chilled. Once tasted you would want this summer dessert year long! And with the hot weather spell hovering Singapore, a chill dessert such as this most welcomed on a weekend after lunch. 😋
A famous southeast Asian dessert. In Chinese restaurants, pomelo is also added to the dessert. The recipe does not call for any flavouring like cardamom or any nuts for garnishing. The mango flavour on the coconut base is well enough for the dessert. A creamy yummy dish.
Mango puree can also be used for the mango lovers. Coconut milk is high in calories but nothing beats this ingredient in this recipe. Fresh milk pales here. Best is to use fresh coconut milk rather than a tetrapack one.
Rinse the soaked sago one or two times to remove the extra starch that you may want to.
Sago is a simple ingredient suggested for people who want to gain weight. Rich in carbohydrates and calories with little fat and protein.
I shall post a savoury recipe, that is prepared usually to break one' fasting, later.
