A comforting traditional dish, perfect for a relaxing afternoon or served as a nostalgic sweet treat.

Purple Sweet Potato and Sago Pearl Coconut Milk Porridge

Purple Sweet Potato and Sago Pearl Coconut Porridge offers an interesting contrast of textures—mashed purple sweet potato combined with soft sweet potato chunks and chewy sago pearls—all mixed in a thick, creamy, slightly sweet coconut milk sauce. The bright purple color provides visual appeal, while the savory-sweet aroma is mouthwatering; this dish is perfect enjoyed warm for breakfast or cold as a refreshing snack. However, care is needed when cooking to prevent the coconut milk from separating and the sago from cooking evenly, and to avoid making the sweet potato soggy that it loses its contrasting texture.

Taro Coconut Milk Sago Pudding

Round, translucent sago pearls float in a milky white coconut milk base, with soft, powdery taro chunks nestled within. No fancy seasonings, just pure coconut and taro aromas—the simple, home-style flavor is the most appealing! The sago pearls are smooth and chewy, the taro is stewed until soft and melts in your mouth, the sweetness of the coconut milk and the glutinous aroma of the taro blending perfectly. Best of all, it's a low-calorie version—delicious and guilt-free. Chilled, it's refreshingly sweet and cleansing; warm, it's smooth, comforting, and fragrant.
