Sago cake with gula Melaka @ House

Not tapioca. Sago is made from palm trees. It's a little chewy. You had bubble tea? The pearls are made from sago.

Haha sago is a very tropical ingredient. It's eaten in Southeast Asia and Africa in slightly different forms. The 'pearl' version is very popular in Southeast Asia and we put it in desserts.

Usually sago pearls are boiled and served with gula Melaka syrup as a dessert. Common in singapore and Malaysia.
