Step 1
Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a pot. Add 1/2 cup sago pearls and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they turn translucent with tiny white centers, about 15 minutes.
Step 2
Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 5 minutes until fully transparent. Drain and rinse under cold water; set aside.
Step 3
Peel and dice 2 mangoes. Reserve a few cubes for garnish, then blend the rest with 1/2 cup coconut milk until smooth.
Step 4
In a bowl, combine the mango puree, remaining 1 cup coconut milk, and 3 tbsp sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves.
Step 5
Add the cooked sago and 1 cup pomelo segments to the bowl. Gently fold to combine.
Step 6
Chill for at least 30 minutes. Serve in bowls, topped with reserved mango cubes and 6 mint leaves.
