Honeydew Melon Sago Sweet Soup

May 4, 2011 By Lokness Leave a Comment

 

Hot day! I thought we are still in spring, but this 93˚F is more like a summer temperature. In a hot day like this, I have the perfect dessert for you, sago sweet soup. I don’t know the origin of the sago sweet soup, but it is very popular in Hong Kong. The summer in Hong Kong is very humid and hot. Cheesecake and tiramisu are just too heavy. When you are walking on the street in a hot summer day, you always crave for something cold and refreshing. I think cold sago sweet soup can just do the trick. It is cool, and the fruits in it are fresh and sweet. Sago pearls doesn’t have much flavors. The coconut milk is the key, and the evaporated milk makes the soup creamy. Enjoy!

 

Honeydew Melon Sago Sweet Soup (Adapted from Miss Jubie’s Blog)

6 – 8 servings

Ingredients:

–   ¾ honeydew melon

–   ½ cup sago pearl or tapioca pearl

–   1 cup coconut milk

–   2/3 cup evaporated milk

–   5 – 6 tablespoons sugar or 1 – 2 piece rock sugar (golf ball size)

–   3 cup water

Directions:

  1. Cut the honeydew melon into half and discard the seeds. Turn the melon over, and take off the skin. Slice the melon into bite size chunks. Chill in the fridge until cool.
  2. In a medium size pot over medium-high heat, boil half a pot of water. Once the water is boiled, add the sago pearls and cook for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat. Let it sit and cover for 20 minutes. Under cold water, wash the pearls until they are cool. Set aside.
  3. In a medium size pot over medium-high heat, bring 3 cups of water to boil. Add and melt the sugar. Stir in the coconut milk and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat. Stir in the milk and pearls. Taste and try. Adjust to your personal taste. Let it sit and cool for a while before chilling in the fridge.
  4. To serve, put ¼ cup honeydew melon chunks into a bowl. Scoop 1 – 1 ½ cup sago sweet soup over the melon. Mix well and serve immediately.
  5. For storage, keep the sago sweet soup and the melon in airtight containers separate in the fridge for 1 – 2 days.

Tips:

  1. It is better to be generous with the sugar in the sweet soup. Once the soup is cool, it is less sweet.
  2. The sago pearls would continue to absorb the liquid, so it is good that there is a lot of liquid in the soup.
  3. You can substitute honeydew melon with almost any kind of fruit, like watermelon, mango, papaya, and even durian.
  4. The sweet soup can be eaten warm, but I like to eat it cold much better.
  5. You can find sago pearls in Chinese supermarket.

Growing up, I looked forward to my mom’s mango p Growing up, I looked forward to my mom’s mango pudding every summer. That creamy & soft pudding is loaded w/ tons of fresh mangoes. My version is pretty much the same, but I switch out the mango-flavored gelatin mix for fresh mangoes. It tastes incredible & brings me back to my childhood right away! It was the perfect dessert when I was a kid, and it’s still the most satisfying dessert today! 🥭

Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to is a cheeseburger w/ extra toasted bun & onion. Bryan likes his double-double w/ onion. The fries were perfectly crispy, and I like to dip them in the spread sauce. Please order me 2 fries next time!😂 How do you like your In-N-Out?
Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice Cream is creamy, little vanilla-y w/ bits of blueberries & a hint of thyme. That vibrant blueberry swirls also makes the prettiest purple color too! I made this ice cream using my blueberry thyme jam, so it’s very easy.🫐🍨

Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Thyme Jam! Sweet, lemony & earthy. A nice surprising combo, but both blueberry & thyme compliment each other really well. I once served this once w/ a slice of Basque cheesecake, & it was fantastic! The jam is good on all sort of things, like yogurt and charcuterie board. 🫐

When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cell When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cellophane Noodles in Clay Pot (沙嗲牛肉粉絲煲) definitely is up there on the top. One of my favorites to order in Hong Kong! It’s hearty & rich. That tender beef & noodles are coated w/ a savory & slightly sweet satay sauce. Little kick from the chili & the earthiness from the mushroom. Bold flavors! Please just give me a bowl of rice already! Btw, this takes only 30 mins to put together, which makes a great weeknight dish.

Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re ba Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re back! It closed down during the pandemic & eventually was selling sweet & savory pies for a while. Once we heard Maude was about to reopen, we made reservation. It’s a 9-course tasting menu w/ the focus on California cuisine this time. Everything was incredible. We chose to sit on the chef’s table & watched them plating & cooking. Precision & speed w/ lots of components. We had our many firsts, like cactus, caviar, & black truffle. Our favorites of the night were caviar w/ peas, abalone & bread w/ aged butter. We really love this place & look forward to going back soon!

❣️Always a multi-course tasting menu & changes often.
Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hai Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hail & rain probably lasted for a good 30-minute. I was very excited at first, then it got crazy. Hail was collecting everything & my patio started to flood. I took out a broom & removed some of the hail. That worked, the water started to move & subside eventually. So glad my apartment wasn’t flooded. Whew! I have seen hailing, but this is another level. The ground was covered in hail. Really incredible!
