Sago and Brown Sugar Syrup
August 17, 2011
Time flies and another week just flew out of the window... and soon Eid Celebration will be at our door steps...
I have to start my cookies baking soon...
If one were to visit some hotels in Malaysia for their Ramadan (Fasting Month) Buffet Spread... one of the desserts that you are likely to find is Sago Pearls served with dark brown sugar syrup and coconut milk...
And that was where D had his first taste of this gorgeous dessert and has not forgotten about it eversince... it was like ~ love at first taste for him...
With a packet of sago in hand... I asked him... and knowing what his answer would be ...
"Which would you prefer: Kuih Sago or Sago with dark brown sugar syrup and coconut milk...?"
Without a second to waste...I got his reply...
Enjoy this dessert either as it is or chilled for a couple of hours in the fridge.
Like D, you will craving for more .

I have yet to try the savoury version... that would be interesting ..:)
I love sagu gula melaka. Nak buat lah kejap lagi. Hari tu buat lopes so ada lebih lagi syrup gula melaka n 2 hari lepas buat rendang 'low-fat' so sekotak santan yg dah buka pun masih ada dlm fridge. Dessert yg paling sedap n rasa yang paling sedap.
ReplyDeleteSOOOOOOOOOO pretty! I love sago and coconut milk. I never thought IKEA spoons can be this pretty! =P

it's been a long time since i last had this..also at the hotels. Love the creaminess of the santan. You celebrating hari raya? i think for the next 2 weeks, you're going to bake like crazy!
ReplyDeleteSuch a simple yet luscious dessert :)
ReplyDeleteThese puddings are my husband's absolute favourite. Last time I made a batch I found him in the middle of the night, eating it straight out of the bowl from the fridge. Thank you for reminding me! nb, your photos are absolutely stunning.

I still have some sago in the pantry that I bought quite some time ago. Better use them before too late. Thank you, Lisa, for this simple and delicious dessert.
