Honey Dew Dessert with Sago Pearls Recipe

The afternoon heat is getting rather unbearable, so it is time to cook up some nice cool dessert. I have a half cut of honey dew fruit in my fridge and my kids do not like it because it is not sweet. However, the green honey dew is juicy and fresh but I know that if I leave it in the fridge, no one is going to eat it! I thought that the honey dew might be suitable as one of the ingredients in a sago dessert. Anyway, I sliced the honey dew into thin strips and then add it into my palm sugar sago dessert and the taste turned out quite unique! I love the creamy taste of coconut and the fresh fruity honey dew in this dessert. Here is my recipe for Honey Dew Dessert with Sago Pearls

Ingredients
Honey dew, 2 slices, cut into thin strips (better to use a grater)
Sago Pearls, ½ cup, soak in water until all of them expanded
Pandan leaves (screwpine), 5 pcs
Palm Sugar (Gula Melaka, or you can use normal brown sugar), to taste (dissolved in hot water and sieved) Coconut Milk, from 1 coconut Put around 5 bowls of water in pot and bring to a boil.

Add in the softened sago pearls, pandan leaves and honey dew. Then add in the coconut milk. You must keep on stirring the mixture so that the coconut milk will not form lumps! Add in the palm sugar to taste. Serve chilled! Taste good if eaten with Yau Char Kwai (Yue Tiau) or fried bihun (rice vermicelli).
