This was my first time making or eating anything with sago. I wasn't sure if I could like crisp honeydew in a creamy dessert, but in fact it was delicious. Based on a note on recipe #62479, I also tried pureeing some honeydew and stirring that in, and that was also delicious and a bit lighter. The main problem I had with this recipe was that it didn't give times for some of the steps, or descriptions of what the result should look like - I needed really specific information due to my inexperience. I didn't know how long to boil the coconut and sugar, so I cooked some of the water out - but then it was really intensely coconutty, so perhaps I cooked it too long. And my package of sago said to boil it for 15 minutes, soak overnight, and then boil again, so I boiled and soaked before proceeding with the recipe.
