Mango & Sago Dessert

This is a cold dessert originally uses pomelos. I didn't have any so I substitute it with sago pearls instead. It is real good eaten chilled and a great dessert especially for mango lovers. I have to thank Jingle for sharing this wonderful recipe.

Zu, what a coincidence. I have already bought a mango and waiting for it to ripen a bit to make this dessert. Also planned to use sago pearls, Jingle`s advice. It looks so tempting. Can`t wait to make it.

Hi

My 1st visit here.

Thanks for telling sago pearls have to be soaked in water till slightly translucent before boiling. I used to boil them till completely translucent but then pearls are really sticky and not chewy.
