Sago is a powdery starch made from the processed pith found inside the trunks of the Sago Palm Metroxylon sagu. The genus name Metroxylon is derived from Greek and means heartwood, while the species name sagu is from a local name for the food. But, why peoples always confuse it with tapioca pearls which made from tapioca starch. Anyway, they taste quiet same, and you won't recognise it.

Hi there,
I love kuih sago and would like to make it but I could not find pandan leaves, actually I've not seen it here in Abu Dhabi.. Will it still be nice to make kuih sago without pandan leaves?
Thanks!
Hi,
If you failed to find pandan leaves, just use vanila in stead of it.
can I use one of those little bottles pandan essence instead? will that work? or will it stain the pudding? thanks..
