Still, the perfect cooking technique still doesn't make up for the fact if one unfortunately brought some poor quality sago. :D Good job in being able to source a mango supply... ;) There seems to be more than one way of cooking “perfect” sago… the most long winded one I know of being a pre-cooking soak, a soak after first boil, followed by a cold-water rinse after the second boil!

Getting fully cooked firm little balls is quite an artform apparently! :D Anyway, thought mango (of the sweet, lush Asian variety) is more or less impossible to source in Germany and/or Austria? :( I wasn’t expecting they had a shop there either (it’s not listed on their business card for store locations, namely: Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok and Causeway Bay) though once spotted in when I was browsing the Airport’s dinning directory as I was hunting for something to eat! :D

I did not see the shop, though :-( Anyway, I have all the ingredients at home now and will try to do my own "Sago with Coconut Milk and Mango" (should not be too difficult :-)) Whow.

Even next best London Heathrow doesn't even come close to HK International's coolness and Frankfurt International is frankly a joke, considering it the main hub for Germany and most Central European flights! :D The best part of HK International though (aside from the masses of free Internet terminals), is the fact it has even got its own "Hui Lau Shan"... our (well, mine anyway) favourite dessert shop! ;) Yeah, it’s my favourite airport too now… my first time there at the beginning of the year I just thought “Well, this is Hong Kong”.
