Tapioca (from the cassava root) is smaller. Both are formed into balls (not naturally), and are gluten free.manxkiwihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15616470288912032411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154048.post-1142125370209521882006-03-12T11:02:00.000+10:002006-03-12T11:02:00.000+10:00tabehodai what a great serving suggestion. i'll tr...tabehodai what a great serving suggestion. i'll try that as soon as good honeydew melons show up in the market. thanks!santos.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15941170936050458728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154048.post-1142049237282912472006-03-11T13:53:00.000+10:002006-03-11T13:53:00.000+10:00Hi Santos,here's a spicy way to eat sago http://on...Hi Santos,<BR/>here's a spicy way to eat sago http://onehotstove.blogspot.com/2005/07/fast-food-my-way-sago-khichdi.html<BR/><BR/>my favourite sago dessert is sago with milk/coconut milk and cubed pieces honeydew. it's so refreshing when served cold in summer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154048.post-1141916336419912792006-03-10T00:58:00.000+10:002006-03-10T00:58:00.000+10:00of, i can't wait to see what you make. i think i'l...of, i can't wait to see what you make. i think i'll go back to the black rice soon, so stay tuned!<BR/><BR/>hi chika! g'day to you too :) you know, up until about 10 minutes ago, i thought they were the same. the name, <I>sago</I>, can denote both the pearl s and starch from the heart of the sago palm or the pearls and the starch from the tapioca/casava root. gaaaaah. i don't know what the difference is, taste or texture-wise though. <BR/><BR/>i'm <I>so</I> not reworking this post to differentiate between the two, though.<BR/><BR/>hi tabehodai, thanks for the info! i'm sure there's more to it, too.<BR/><BR/>hi cathy, the flavours are very subtle--sort of sweet, grassy, and milky. not that that really describes it, but it's not as bold tasting as it sounds :)<BR/><BR/>shukumei, it's as inventive as <I>sago at gulaman</I> (sago and gelatin) :D thanks for the link!santos.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15941170936050458728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154048.post-1141915260500546052006-03-10T00:41:00.000+10:002006-03-10T00:41:00.000+10:00the name of the dessert with gula melaka and sago ...the name of the dessert with gula melaka and sago is... sago gula melaka. inventive, no? <BR/><BR/>recipe and picture here: http://thamjiak.blogspot.com/2006/01/sugar-not-so-high-friday-15.htmlshukumeihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05372299532474483353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154048.post-1141907416722750842006-03-09T22:30:00.000+10:002006-03-09T22:30:00.000+10:00These are some unfamiliar flavors I can't imagine,...These are some unfamiliar flavors I can't imagine, but that <I>looks</I> fantastic!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11194828903719000019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154048.post-1141905628303085922006-03-09T22:00:00.000+10:002006-03-09T22:00:00.000+10:00Hi Santos,what a lovely dessert you made!Gula mela...Hi Santos,<BR/>what a lovely dessert you made!<BR/>Gula melaka is palm sugar indeed. Sometimes it is added to dessert as a sweetener and also to give a richer flavour than sugar.<BR/>If I'm not wrong, sago is the Indian name for tapioca pearls. Sago can be used to make non-dessert Indian dishes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154048.post-1141901956759528812006-03-09T20:59:00.000+10:002006-03-09T20:59:00.000+10:00good day :)love the shot!
