Soak small sago (tapioca pearls) in water for 30 minutes.

Boil 5 cups of water in a pot and add soaked small sago.

Cook small sago until translucent, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Drain the cooked small sago and rinse under cold water.

In a separate pot, combine 2 cups of water, evaporated milk, condensed milk, and clear unflavored jelly powder over medium heat.

Stir until the mixture is warm and the jelly powder is dissolved, about 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and mix in the cubed mango for puree.

In a bowl, mix the cooked small sago with the jelly mixture.

Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Once chilled, layer the mango puree at the bottom of serving glasses.

Spoon the tapioca mixture on top of the mango puree.

Garnish with cubed mangoes before serving.
