Sago in Coconut Milk, or Sao Mai Lo, is a smooth and creamy dessert made with small sago pearls (tapioca) simmered in sweetened coconut milk, often enhanced with evaporated milk, rock sugar, or tropical fruits like mango, cantaloupe, or honeydew. This dessert originated in Guangdong Province, especially popular in Hong Kong’s dessert parlors, where it's served chilled or warm depending on the season. The sago is boiled until translucent, then combined with the coconut mixture for a light, aromatic finish. Often served after meals or as a cooling summer treat, Sao Mai Lo is a Cantonese dessert staple loved for its delicate texture and mildly sweet flavor. Common variations include mango sago pomelo or taro-flavored sago.
