Mango Sago Dessert Recipe

Picture this: a sultry summer's day, the sun blazing down on the bustling streets of mid-1980's Hong Kong. From the famed kitchen of Lei Garden, a revolutionary dessert is born, a harmonious fusion of traditional Cantonese flavors and the tropical allure of Singapore - the Mango Sago. 


This Asian-inspired delicacy is a symphony of contrasts. The velvety smoothness of coconut tapioca pudding dances with the bold, sweet and tangy notes of ripe mango chunks. This chilled treat, a love letter to the tropics, takes the stage not just as a dessert but a cultural icon, transcending borders and making its mark from boba shops in Asia to dessert parlors across the globe. 


Now, imagine a spoonful of this silky pudding. Your senses awaken at the sight of the glowing mango chunks nestled amidst creamy tapioca pearls. The aroma of the coconut whispers of sun-kissed beaches. As you take a bite, the luscious creaminess of coconut milk entwines with the vibrant tartness of mango, the tiny pearls of tapioca adding a playful, chewy texture.

  • Tapioca Pearls: 1/2 cup, these tiny pearls will lend our dessert a delightful chewy texture.

  • Coconut Milk: 1 cup, its creamy richness will be the backbone of our pudding.

  • Fresh Milk: 1/2 cup, to enhance the creaminess.

  • Sugar: 2 tablespoons, to sweeten our concoction just perfectly.

  • Water: 2 cups, to cook our tapioca pearls.

Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Mango Sago Dessert

  1. First off, let's prepare our star ingredient - the mangoes. Peel and cut one mango into small chunks. The other mango will be used to make a puree.

  2. In a blender, add the second mango (cut into chunks), sugar, and a bit of water. Blend until you get a smooth puree.

  3. Now, onto the tapioca pearls. In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to boil. Add the tapioca pearls and let them simmer on medium heat until they turn transparent. This may take about 15-20 minutes.

  4. Drain the cooked tapioca pearls and immerse them in cold water. This will prevent them from sticking together.

  5. In a large bowl, combine the mango puree, coconut milk, fresh milk, and the cooled tapioca pearls. Stir well.

  6. Chill this mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours.

  7. When ready to serve, divide the pudding into individual bowls. Top each bowl with mango chunks, crushed ice, and a sprig of mint. Your Mango Sago is ready to be relished!
