CONT

After a spicy meal, nothing ends it quite as delightfully as a desert of Gula Melaka, also known as Sago Pudding. Gula Melaka is the name of the brown palm sugar tapped from the coconut tree. It has a fragrance so intensely delicious that it needs only the addition of thick coconut cream to create a sauce of unsurpassed richness. This is poured over a simple pudding made from sago pearls.
