Hong Kong Mango Drink, also known as Mango Sago, is a popular dessert drink that originated in Hong Kong. This drink is typically served cold, making it a perfect refreshment during hot weather. It is made with fresh mango, coconut milk, and small pearl tapioca. The tapioca pearls are cooked to a chewy texture, which contrasts with the smoothness of the mango-coconut mixture.
