Mango Sago

Berry Berry Life
Mango Sago is a popular dessert in many Southeast Asian countries, particularly in Hong Kong, Singapore, and the Philippines. The dessert originated from Hong Kong, where it was first introduced in the late 20th century as part of the dim sum tradition. Dim sum, a variety of small dishes traditionally served with tea, often includes both savory and sweet options, and Mango Sago quickly became a favorite.
