Heart Shaped Sago with Gula Melaka

Bought a pack of gula melaka for my other cuisine and have no more use of it. Wanted to do a simple dessert for V day dinner instead of the normal baking. Since it is V day, so of course something must be in heart shaped. I am yet a expert to cut my chicken chop into heart shaped therefore the only choice is to make a heart shaped dessert. Bought the heart shaped pan from Daiso for donkey years and have not even use once so at least now can use liao. There will definitely be more recipe for gula melaka to look forward to until I manage to get rid of all of it hahaha.
