Malaysian Cuisine - Nyonya Kuih/Desserts

Abok-Abok Sago (Steamed Sago Cake)

July 19, 2017 | Recipe by Bake with Paws



This is one of the Malaysian desserts that I learnt to make when I was studying Home Science during secondary school. I like the fragrant combination of coconut, pandan and gula Melaka along with the chewy texture of sago we call "QQ".
