Origin[edit]
The Chinese name of “mango pomelo sago”( 楊枝甘露 ) comes from the concept of dropping manna from a willow branch which makes people feel refreshed when they taste it. It was also the secret tool of the Guanyin according to the traditional Chinese mythology- Journey to The West.
This dessert was said to be invented by Lei Garden in 1984 when it decided to set up its first branch in Singapore. Given that it wanted to create a new dessert which is in line with the taste of Singaporeans. [2]Wong Wing-chee, the former head chef of the Lei Garden, invented mango pomelo sago as a new dish of the Lei Garden. Due to the tropical rainforest climate in Southeast Asia, he intentionally invented this dessert to make people feel cooler after having a taste of it. Inspired by the local ingredients in Singapore, Wong decided to make a dessert featuring mango, pomelo and sago. [3]
However, there is another version of the origin saying that this dessert was invented by the Lei Garden in order to make good use of the leftover pomelo after making Lo Hei in Chinese New Year.
Recipe[edit]
According to Maria Cordero, a Filipino-Hong Kong singer who is fond of cooking, the process of making this dessert is 'a piece of cake'. All the ingredients it needs are diced mango, sliced pomelo, sago, coconut milk, evaporated milk and milk. First, boil the sago while blending mango, coconut milk, evaporated milk and milk in the blender. When the sago begins to float and turns transparent, rinse it for later use. Then, pour the mixture into a bowl together with the cooked sago and mix well. Lastly, the pomelo is put on top of the mixture for decoration. All these ingredients can be chilled beforehand to improve the taste of this dessert. [4][5]
