Desserts

When thinking of a dessert for elderly clients, consider not just what they will like, but what they can eat. It is simple to think of the usual soft serve ice cream, jello, or pudding. And that is what they like. Sweet, easy to on the teeth food. However, as a racially blended society, we often like to open our clients to new tastes and enriching them with eye-pleasing delicacies.

In our journey, I want to introduce you to something I am familiar with. If you had pass by a place late night eatery with mainly Asian diners, mostly Chinese and Vietnamese, you will notice a colorful clear bowl. Inside that bowl, there are balls of cantaloupe, watermelon, kiwi, and strawberry with a blended fruit juice. Something that you might not be able to see is sago, a tapioca-like texture. Sago is very easy to cook, boil and rinse with cold water. You can find sago at Ranch 99 or other types of Asian market. This dessert is very healthy and seasonably friendly. The sago can be mixed with any fruit you like to blend (mango, strawberries, honeydew). I prefer this dessert over cakes and pudding because it is light and the colors are so pretty.

Below is a picture of the dessert you can try. Yelp is a good website for you to find dessert places that will serve this.
