Mango sago with pomelo seems such a mouthful for a simple dessert. I much prefer its Chinese name 杨枝甘露. Literally means "honeyed dew drops falling from a willow tree branch" - it sounds so poetic!
This dessert is now a regular on most Chinese restaurtants menus and certainly a "must" in Hong Kong sytle cha chan teng ("cha chan teng" is Cantonese for casual style cafes). It's tropical flavours have propeleed this dessert to the top 5 selling list in restaurants and dessert shops here in Singapore, right up there with sesame cream, peanut cream and almond cream.
It's a simple dessert to make and definitely taste great on a hot day. Great to serve to guest after a meal and they'll probably think it took you ages to prepare this.
By the way you wouldn't believe this but my hubby ate 4 bowls in one sitting!

Ingredients:
60 - 70 gm of mango puree
1 fresh mango, peeled and diced

80 ml full cream milk

2) In a separate pot, mix the coconut milk, full cream milk, evaporated milk, white sugar and water together. Still well and bring to a boil.
3) Add the mango puree and ice cubes into the milk mixture. Stir until ice cubes are all melted. Then add in the sago and mix into the mixture.
