Mango Sago

Mango sago is a popular dessert originating from Hong Kong that has become beloved throughout various parts of Asia. It typically consists of diced ripe mangoes mixed with small tapioca pearls (sago), coconut milk, and sometimes evaporated milk or condensed milk for added richness. The dessert is often served chilled, making it refreshing and perfect for hot weather.

The origins of mango sago can be traced back to Hong Kong, where it gained popularity in the late 20th century as a light and delightful dessert option. Over time, it has spread to other parts of Asia, where variations might include additional ingredients like pomelo citrus segments or mango purée layered with sago and mango chunks.

Mango sago's appeal lies in its combination of sweet mangoes, creamy coconut milk, and the delightful texture of sago pearls, creating a harmonious balance of flavors and a pleasing contrast of textures. It is commonly found in dessert shops, restaurants, and even homemade kitchens throughout Asia, especially during mango season when the fruit is at its peak sweetness.
