Steam the purple sweet potato until very soft.
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the sago pearls and cook until translucent with only a tiny white dot in the center.
Remove the sago from heat, cover, and let it sit for a few minutes until completely translucent.
Drain the sago and rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine water and sugar. Heat until the sugar dissolves completely. Add salt and stir.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked purple sweet potato, drained sago pearls, coconut milk, and sugar syrup. Stir gently to mix.
Serve the dessert warm or chilled.
