Basically, this dessert is made up of sweet potatoes and taro which are then cooked in coconut milk. This delicacy can be served warm or chilled. The preparation for bo bo cha cha is rather simple. The only daunting step is to prepare the tapioca jellies. They look really pretty, like stained glass. Many commented that these tapioca jellies did not turn out too well. The trick to preparing the jellies is to use really hot water. The water has to be **boiling hot**! As for cooking the sago, ensure that enough of water is used to prevent them from sticking together. The ratio of water to sago should be 3 to 1. Keep stirring the sago as you cook them. Banana slices add an extra punch to this dessert. This is optional. Some prefer to keep this dessert as simple as possible with just some taro and sweet potatoes. However, it is no harm being more creative. You will love the result.
