4 Apr 10 (Sun) - Abok-Abok Sagu

Was at sis’s place again. Tried out a dessert recipe called Abok-Abok Sagu (Sago Cake) that I found in the U-Magazine. It was a variation of the usual Sago Melaka that I always make. Cooking the pearl sago and the filling was easy. It was the arranging of the sago together with the filling in the jelly moulds that was difficult. Left them in the fridge to set and only brought them out at night to pack into boxes so that I could bring them to work the next day. Most of them ended up broken with the fillings spilling out and only one barely made it.
