Sago Pudding with Palm Sugar | Sago Gula Melaka [Nyonya Cooking]

Asian dessert made with sago, plam sugar and coconut milk for parties or family gatherings. The exceptionally rich flavours of this dessert had my guests asking for seconds!
www.nyonyacooking.com/recipes/sago-pudding-with-gula-melaka
Whenever I have guests coming over, I always prepare a full course meal along with dessert. While so much time had been spent in preparing the main dishes, a simple dessert that could be done in the shortest time possible is welcome. It would be most befitting if the dessert represents the flavours of Malaysia, too. With that in mind, I would always settle for sago pudding with gula melaka (palm sugar) because of its simplicity in preparations as well as its deliciousness.
When completed, this pudding looks amazingly gorgeous especially when palm sugar is drizzled over it. This recipe yields about 4 pieces of sago puddings although the coconut milk is sufficient for at least 8 to 12 pieces of the puddings.

[@douchebag5747]

[@kelseyngkoo7747]

Nvm I made this all on stove top in it was delicious and made this recipe but made five times more cause I had a party and they were amazing!!!!!! Expect I put more than 5 times the amount of water for the gula Melaka( I don't know what I was thinking) so I just boiled it until it evaporated and they were delicious. The coconut milk gave it a not so plain taste and the gula Melaka made it sweet and yummy! Will definitely make this again

[@jayg4519]

Hello, tried your terigu last weekend for 2 groups of guests. It was awesome tasting!! LOVE IT! Will make it often for sure! Thank you. Do you have recipe to make Sago Honeydew dessert?! 🙏

[@Frostypawss]

I tried using Pandan Sago instead. It came in a bag. I wanted to do more so i dumped the whole bag into the pot. Omg it was super starchy like old styled glue. Had to wash off the starch a bit at a time and so far it looked the same as how yours turned out. Now waiting for the results from the fridge. Will post pix of it soon :)

[@nyonyacooking]

I have pandan sago too! Also another pack of sago in pink :P Haha I can imagine how starchy it was. I guess you must have already enjoyed your sago pudding now! Send me a pict on fb or g+!!

[@Bitchasss27]

A traditional Malay dessert :)

[@dustbean]

Interesting..i made this many times but I always boil coconut milk with pandan leaves and not gula Melaka but I guess it doesn't matter..but best gula Melaka is definitely from Malacca hahaha(duh moment)..I fine the ones sold in Singapore is not as fragrant as the Malacca ones.

[@dustbean]

since you can get pandan leaves there .. endlessly possibilities for nonya kueh :)

[@nyonyacooking]

Yea, that's true about the gula melaka, best is from Melaka (duh!) lol... :D

[@sewaldodiy]

I love sago I will be making this, anyway I have a request Grace. A few years ago I went to Malaysia and I had this rice dessert almost like a rice soup but it is sweet with coconut milk. Idk what it's called but it sure made me cry because it reminded me of the dessert my grandma used to make when I was little

[@FaraHyda]

"prettycraftygirl" does it taste like wheat ? there's a sweet porridge we call it bubur gandum and it taste similar to rice with coconut milk.

[@sewaldodiy]

Yes and it has a hint of pandan too.

[@FaraHyda]

"prettycraftygirl" We use pandan in most of our desert for fragrance.

[@FaraHyda]

"prettycraftygirl" *dessert

[@shangyilim]

If it's dark in color maybe it's black glutinous rice soup

[@jolimlayhong8574]

Hi Grace, I love to watch your cooking videos. Thumbs up!! Can i get Gula Melaka (Malaysia) in Asia vietnamese store?? Thanks.

[@lasicafinch7159]

My favourite dish when my mother cooked. I am now 62 years old, and I am going to try it on my children and grandchildren. But what can I substitute for Pandan leaf. ❤️

[@arhyss]

can I use coconut sugar instead of palm sugar since I cant find palm sugar here in our place. thank you! I super love sago pudding!

[@yuvenmuniandy8202]

Tried it! Amazing. I want to make some tweaking. May I mix the sago with mango puree and make a pudding?

[@nyonyacooking]

That will be interesting. Not sure if the pudding can hold the shape. We would suggest to use the mango puree as the sauce instead :)

[@richJinny]

Everything with gula melaka is good. And you also look very chio!

[@nyonyacooking]

rjhrai So true and with santan too :P Thank you for your kind words. Paiseh paiseh..lol

[@nyonyacooking]

Woot woot..oh yeah!! Rosmah Wati

[@nurnazurahzulkifli]

+Rosmah Wati What's wrong with you? So embarrassing. Why are you keep booing her? Leave if you don't like. Are you Indonesian or Malaysian? So childish.

[@nyonyacooking]

Guess she was bored..... Zura Zulkifli

[@nurnazurahzulkifli]

I wonder as well. It's just that I tried so hard to find a really good videos about Malaysian cooking. Plus, you speak in English and can widely understood by people around the world and the videos are nicely edited. My friend introduced me to your cooking channel and guess what she's not even a Malay. I'm so happy to find it. You've done an excellent job but I don't understand, what's with the hate? At least, she can tell you what you can do to improve your channel but forget it. I praise your work and many Malaysian will thank you for your hard work especially for us young beginners. It's simple and easy-to-follow. Keep going and Good Luck! Fighting! 🎀🌷

[@mariataiwo750]

Hhmmm...yummmy

[@nyonyacooking]

Totally!!

[@archeoonasus]

Hi there nice instructive video - but, having have to chill the sago for 2 hours is bit too long for a instant dessert - does cooling it in freezer faster ? And have a similar result ?

[@Inspiredfitness2012]

Done this many times, comes our perfect. May I recommend flavoring the sago with pandan juice or coloring. Then it will green, white and brown.

[@jovidancefreak]

Penang asam laksa recipe pleasseeeeee

[@parvv31]

Hmmmm...i had tried this dessert and it came out well....just my sago burn a little because of the amount of water that i used was less but then i asked my mother's help to cook the sago....and the gula melaka covered the taste and smell of the sago.....1 question...the sago supposed to be sticky after it is cooked,right???

[@hupajo]

Hi, :) you are soooooo sweet as your sago pudding :)

[@vivien2020]

Hi I really luv yr channel. Can u tell me why my red bean desert was bitter? Was it the lotus seed or tangerine skin? hope to hear from u.

[@luvjoesong]

Hi, when the coconut milk has chilled, can I store it in the fridge? Btw, missed you and your videos... Hope to see you soon! 👍🏻😚💕🇸🇬

[@jtech7357]

How did you clean the pot you cooked the sago pearls in

[@kautharazman8260]

Can you make kuih sagu ?

[@neofloraELFmalaysia]

hi... can you make more videos on malay cakes or kuih melayu? something like kuih keria, kuih bengkang, kuih burger malaysia, roti jala, cucur udang, cekodok pisang, cucur ikan bilis and etc....

[@nyonyacooking]

Sure! Those are all my favourite. Thank you so much for ur suggestions. In fact, I'll have more upcoming videos on such kuihs. Please stay tuned okay and stay subscribed to us ^^ Mwahhh!

[@norshalinijeyaseelan1925]

Hai sis.. i m shalini from malaysia too. i have tried this recipe. it comes out very well, but i go through 1 trouble in making the gula melaka. Once i cold down the gula melaka, it become thick again. Is there any other way to make sure it never happen in the future?

[@willgetme22]

Hi Grace can you come over and cook that for me.It looks alluring luv.

[@nyonyacooking]

Hahaha...it's too easy. You will be able to make it in a few minutes :P

[@JVPromotion]

Nice video! I think it would be more practical to leave sago pudding in the ball and pour coconut milk and gulam malaka over it. This way you can easily eat it with spoon not wasting any sauce.

[@nyonyacooking]

Sure! You can do that too! If you have more tips are recipes, why not post them on Your Nyonya Cooking recipe? We’d love to learn more from you!

[@JVPromotion]

Hi, If I want to bring it for picnics, do I pour the pudding with the coconut milk and gula melaka or should I have it separated?

[@jenlim9189]

one more question, is it the pudding is hot / cold? The pudding take from fridge will be cold, but the coconut milk n gula melaka will be hot right? or after pour gula melaka and coconut milk should it be fridge again?

[@nyonyacooking]

You can chill the coconut milk and gula melaka in the fridge if you like or just at room temperature. After that, you can already serve :)

[@ctahyat4537]

What is gulamalaka ??

[@rohitpillai1389]

I don't have gula melaka sugar or pandan leaves and is not easily available in every supermarkets and grocery store in India so what can I substitute for this item for this dessert recipe????

[@mariammalik5781]

+Rohit Pillai gula melaka is like jaggary but its made from coconut nectar..you can use jaggary too and I know you can get gula melaka in some part of India but with diff name.

[@rohitpillai1389]

+Mariam Malik ok what about the pandan leaves for substitution? ???

[@mariammalik5781]

+Rohit Pillai you can omit it,and it will not effect the taste. Its just for smell,and not everyone like it..
