Melon Sago

1. Half the melon and scoop out the seeds.
   
2. Use a melon scoop to scoop out the flesh and form into melon balls from half a melon.
   
3. The other half, remove flesh and liquidize in a food processor. Chilled.
4. In a pot pour in some water to boil. When it is boiling, pour in the sago and let it cook. Continue to stir until all the sago white beads turned transparent(this will take approximately 15-20mins) . Drained under running tap water.
   
5. Add melon ball, sago, coconut milk, salt, sugar syrup into the melon puree and mixed. For those healthy option you can opt out coconut milk, can be replaced with millk, still taste as good.

I also make sago ball coated with desicated coconut to go with my melon desserts since I have leftover sago, nostalgic, as my mom used to make this sago ball for us to bring to our primary school party.
