The prices are much better than Asian markets, the food is fresh, and it's packaged very carefully. I need to buy groceries from Wee every week, but there's no fresh food delivery service through Gofftown, so I can only order through a friend or acquaintance. It's a shame because it's so inconvenient! Hopefully, they will offer fresh food delivery through Gofftown in the future. I'll only buy from Wee and won't need to go to any other market anymore.
Bich Van
The perilla leaves were badly damaged.

HYESOO
This wasn't the style of seasoned perilla leaves I was hoping for. Since it's served in the style of pickled perilla leaves, this type of side dish has a distinctive aroma. However, the seasoning has soaked in nicely, so it is quite palatable. Although the outside is coated with a lot of red chili powder, the seasoning inside is soy sauce-based. It tastes even better when wrapped around meat or fried rice.

It's decent and good as a side dish.
