dessert for you ?
Last night, i made this dessert after dinner. I was craving for honeydew & sago but the honeydew found in the local supermarket is too expensive and i got another substitute.. Rockmelon! Close enough, isn't it..
It is pretty easy to make and you can whipped this up in less than 10 mins for those who do not live near any S'porean or M'sian restaurants..
Recipe:
- some chopped cubes of rockmelon/ honeydew
- rock sugar, 2 big rocks
- water
- pandan leaves, knotted
- sago
- evaporated milk
directions:
- to make the sugar syrup, boil 3 cups of water with rock sugar & pandan leaves till all the sugars dissolve, and set aside to cool, preferably in the fridge.
- to cook the sago, boil in water and constantly stirring till sago swells and turn semi translucent and soft. ( some people prefer complete translucent sago) to prevent the sago from clumping up.
- Strain sago after cooking and add it to the sugar syrup, add cubed honeydew and evaporated milk and mixed
- Enjoy it chilled
p.s: add sugar or evaporated milk according to taste..

It looks so yummy, that it's making me hungry (actually greedy is more like it) and rockmelon is better than honeydew. There are lots of Hong Kong style cafes here nowadays and they make a version of this with mango cubes and add pomelo as well. I'm addicted to the stuff :)
try it with coconut milk and soy bean milk mixed, instead of evaporated milk - can add less sugar and its real creamy...
