Honeydew Sago Dessert

This is a modified recipe which I came out with, after studying the one from Kuali and another recipe from M4M forum. Very yummy! Even my health conscious hubby couldn't resist, he had second helping. Thanks to the originator who invented such a wonderful dessert, though I don't know who, because there are so many Honeydew Sago Dessert recipes around.

Ingredients:
Honeydew melon ( approx 1kg)
120g sago
100ml coconut milk

Syrup Ingredients:

Method:

Remove the skin from the honeydew melon, halve then scoop out the seeds. Shape the honeydew melon into small round balls using a metal scoop. Puree the remaining honeydew melon. Chill in the fridge.

To prepare syrup, put water, gula melaka and pandan leaves in a saucepan. Boil until gula melaka dissolves. Strain and cool thoroughly.

Boil water in a pot. Add sago pearls to boil until transparent. Pour the cooked sago into a sieve then place under running tap water. Drain well.
