KUIH SAGU

Before I go any further I would like tell you all something about sago. There 2 type of sago one is made with tapioca and the other one is made from sago palm tree(metroxylon sagu) The made with tapioca when cook for along time it will dissolve or became very soft. the one made with sago palm with be firm even if you cook it for a long time. They both look the same it is very hard to find the difference.  I am using sago palm.
