Mango Sago with Pomelo

After reading the Sunday Times Lifestyle, I was inspired to do the mango sago. It is one of my favourite desserts. When visiting CL in Hong Kong, we love to try out their desserts. Mango sago tastes great with vanilla ice cream too!

I had a tub of mango pudding in the fridge. So I decided to use some of that for the dessert.

3 mangoes--peeled and seeded
3 stalks of pandan leaves
4 Tbsp brown sugar
3/4 cup pearl sago
1 tub mango pudding
1 cup of peeled pomelo

1. Boil pandan leaves with 3 cups of water. Add sugar.
2. Puree the flesh of 2 mangoes and 1/2 tub of mango pudding with the boiled sugar solution. May not need all the water--depends on the consistency you want.
3. Cut 1 mango and 1/2 tub mango pudding into cubes.
4. Put sago pearls in boiling water for 10 minutes. Drain and wash under running water.
4. Arrange mango puree, sago, mango cubes and pudding, and pomelo in a dessert glass.
5. Chill before serving.

Sunday Night Dinner

Mummy, KL and HN came over for dinner as usual. Cooked teriyaki chicken, yong tau foo and mango jellyfish salad. Experimented with the sauce for the first time. My colleague JH shared with me how she did the sauce. First fried some shallots,garlic and pounded chilli. Then added some plum sauce and a small packet of "chee cheong fun" sauce that was bought from the market. Added some lime juice and water, and finally thicken with corn flour. The yong tau foo pieces are then fried lightly. KL bought some durians over--D24 and "Ang Hei" (Red Prawn) They were GOOD! We also had plums(Australian) which I bought from NTUC today. Very sweet! Will buy some more! Then the usual fruit juice...





For dessert, G asked for Mango Smoothie. Went to a restaurant for lunch where we had baked rice and fish and chips as well as mango smoothie and a sundae for dessert. The smoothie did not taste very natural. So we decided to try it at home--using fresh mangoes, vanilla ice cream, fresh milk and orange juice.

J and G have been asking for muah chee also. Used to make it quite some time ago, using Leng's mum's recipe. But I've forgotten where I wrote the recipe, so surfed some food websites and got this recipe using the microwave. It's really so easy. Just mix 250g glutinous rice flour with 380ml of water. Add some shallot oil and microwave on high for 2 minutes, take out to stir and put it back to micorwave again for 1 minute, then stir again. Cut inot smaller pieces and toss in peanut-sugar-sesame seed mixture.
