I have tried it and the result is good. I thought you may want to try this mehtod out.<BR/><BR/>*To cook sago:<BR/><BR/>1. Boil about 3 cups of water in a saucepan. Add in sago pearls and bring to boil.<BR/><BR/>2. Once it boils, cover saucepan and turn off heat. Leave for 20 minutes.<BR/><BR/>3. Remove the lid, stir the mixture, turn on the heat and bring it to boil again.<BR/><BR/>4. Once it boils the second time, cover again, turn off the heat and leave covered for 10 minutes. The sago should be cooked by now.<BR/><BR/>5. Drain the sago from the hot water and rinse. Soak in cold water (to stop it cooking further). When completely cool drain again and set aside.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24892184.post-37924259418053322092008-09-07T19:22:00.000+08:002008-09-07T19:22:00.000+08:00Hahahahha seconds.. not minutes...oh god; i cant b...Hahahahha seconds.. not minutes...oh god; i cant believe i made that error. so sorry poofyeSu-Yin -Décorateurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02815943675408514244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24892184.post-33549725051967684622008-09-07T14:29:00.000+08:002008-09-07T14:29:00.000+08:00Hi Su-yin, i really love your blog, you inspire me...Hi Su-yin, i really love your blog, you inspire me alot in cooking and baking ;)<BR/><BR/>just a question, how many grams is your one block of gula melaka? because when i melted the gula melaka in the microwave for 40mins, 10mins into the melting, it got burnt.. can you please tell me why? <BR/><BR/>thanks :)poofyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10293689120617133872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24892184.post-74968376596134480292008-06-23T08:05:00.000+08:002008-06-23T08:05:00.000+08:00helloo.i love love this. mom has been doing this e...helloo.<BR/>i love love this. mom has been doing this eversince i was young and this has been our favourite buka-puasa dessert :) thanks for posting this anyway because i've never bothered to ask mom how to make this. lol.<BR/><BR/>btw, your blog inspires me a lot and i enjoy reading each of your posts :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24892184.post-65405818771687248042007-10-27T16:44:00.000+08:002007-10-27T16:44:00.000+08:00Hmmm, one wonders if the Malaysian / indian / chin...Hmmm, one wonders if the Malaysian / indian / chinese accent is 'put on' or if it's the other way around - that the English / Aussie etc accent is put on. My English husband thinks it's funny how I regress to speaking 'manglish' when I'm with Malaysian friends or my family. I can't help it! It happens automatically!! LOL!! Back to this recipe - I always thought you had to rinse the cooked sago to wash away any residual starches so that when it is served, it breaks up into perfect little sago pearls. Is this the case or are modern sago pearls less starchy?Adyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14111166923424161393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24892184.post-50595753737567491992007-06-02T16:32:00.000+08:002007-06-02T16:32:00.000+08:00Hello Darlings, Just made some pudding, before see...Hello Darlings, Just made some pudding, before seeing your site! Has turned out lovely just the same. I drained as best I could and introduced the gorgeous pearls into a simple sugar syrup, to avoid the clumping. Will shortly make a nice sweet milky, coconuty mix to pour these into. Should be delish. Thanks for your tips too.

Sago...oh...i've must have made a mixtake somewhere. Sago and tapioca are certainly very different. Wouldnt dream of making tapioca puddings this way! *laughs*.<BR/>There are many sizes of sago pearls...and I'm guessing you've used smaller pearls and cooked them for longer than you should have. They should be translucent but still in tiny droplet forms. When left on the stove with too much water for too long, the mixture turns into a mush. Try using larger sized sago pearls; they're easier to cook.Su-Yin -Décorateurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02815943675408514244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24892184.post-14002617725167098192007-04-21T13:11:00.000+08:002007-04-21T13:11:00.000+08:00Hello,Thank you for your delightful recipes and co...Hello,<BR/>Thank you for your delightful recipes and coments.<BR/>I notice you use sago & tapioca interchangably however they are quite different ingredients.<BR/><BR/>When I tried cooking sago seeds in water, they totally disintegrated and there were no pearls.
