FIL: Maliit at bilog na pampalamig na gawa sa gawgaw ng sago o kamoteng kahoy, karaniwang inihahalo sa mga inumin tulad ng sago't gulaman.
EN: Sago pearls, tapioca pearls
The chewy, bouncy balls of happiness at the bottom of your sago't gulaman or milk tea. Finding the last sago with your straw is a small victory, like getting your salary on the 14th instead of the 15th. Life's simple pleasures.
From Malay 'sagu', referring to the sago palm from which the starch is traditionally extracted.
While 'sago' technically refers to the sago palm, in everyday Filipino conversation, it almost always means the processed pearls used in desserts and drinks, which are often made from tapioca starch.
