I think this is the first time I post a dessert recipe here. I seldom make Chinese desserts or tong-sui as I don't really have a sweet tooth... yeah, I hardly eat those cakes and cookies I baked too! :P
I have been wanting to cook this particular tong-sui a few times but every time my sweet potatoes will either rot away for being left too long or I ended up steaming them. Then I bought some sago a couple of weeks back for some agar-agar and decided to try adding them into this particular dish. Well, it turns out well!

- Pour in the sago and let it boil for about 5 mins, continue to stir so they won't get lumpy.
