| Recipe by Bake with Paws
Sago Gula Melaka is one of Malaysian popular desserts. It is something you would often find in a Malaysian Buffet counter. Sago pudding is made by boiling pearl sago in water and serving it with syrup of palm sugar (gula melaka) and coconut milk. This sweet and cooling dessert is ideal after a meal of hot and spicy food.
This reminds me of my time in secondary school when I chose to make this dessert for my home science examination. It is simple to prepare and you will never go wrong.
