Definitely plan on ordering these again!
jessica
Bad. I ordered two, don’t even want to open this second one. Way too salty, not spicy, and the flavor is not right. Will not order again.
LawrenceXiao
Really safely to taste.
wendy
This cold noodles is so delicious! I really regret ordering two copies! Apart from being salty, there is no garlic flavor, not enough sourness and spicyness, and you can’t even taste the taste of sesame sauce. It’s really outrageous. The noodles are not cold noodles. The noodles are very similar to Cantonese noodles. To me, they are just messy and they sell this. I also kindly ask other people who have tried this kind of cold noodles not to exaggerate and say that it is delicious. It is simply a lie.

I took a photo halfway through eating, it was delicious
Yaya Su
I have repurchased Gulepiao spicy cold noodles several times. It is spicy and appetizing. It is suitable for those who don’t want to start a meal when the heat wave hits. I think the portion is very generous and the sauce is very fragrant and delicious. I will continue to repurchase it.
Melody Wang
Tastes good, I have bought it many times

Except for the sauce and noodles. Not the same as the photo. The taste is ok.

I got to say Cheng Hing will not disappoint. The sticky rice is the best I have tasted from different sellers on weee. It is more pricey than all other rice dumplings but the ingredients include Chinese sausage, salted egg and meat.

First time eating it. Not bad. You don't have to go to dim sum restaurant. You can steam it at home and have it for breakfast.

The lotus leaves are very fragrant and filling! But the rice is not soft enough.
Elaine L
I have just recently discovered sticky rice and I love it. I love the flavorful chicken stuffed inside the rice. The little cooked "hotdog" in the center is a treat too. I will definitely buy again.

There are four in a portion, they are a good size and taste good.
Shibe
It’s really nice, red bean is smooth, mochi is soft. You will need to microwave it for 20 second if it’s too hard/cold. The box has an instruction how to warm it up .
Sarah Chan
I got 6 mochis last time, but didn’t realize they’ve switched to selling only 4 now. Just a heads-up for everyone!
nuteknosf
One order of four, not too sweet, I like it.

It had a subtle sweetness and the coconut and bean paste went well together, making it delicious.

I bought it for the second time. My whole family likes it. The seasoning is a little light. I add some ingredients myself.

Prepared tofu, ingredients, and seasoning - it's easy to make a good dish.
Tahoe
Tofu fresh and delicious sauce yummy. Like
Grace
The ingredients are already cut, which is very convenient. The taste is a little light. Next time, I will season and thicken it myself.
Cora
Online shopping pictures - more tofu than vegetables. Reality reception - more vegetables than tofu. But considering the quantity, simply reheating it and adding the included sauce makes it a reasonable dish.
GogoBuy
It's my first time buying it. The portion is quite big. I added some vegetables. The taste is good, but a little bland. I need to add some seasoning myself.

No way, the tofu was bitter, the sauce was blind like water, will never buy this again

It’s my first time buying this. The taste is a bit spicy, the quantity is relatively small, and each piece is small and broken. I only gave it three stars, but the rating above has been set to five stars and cannot be changed!

Sufficient material But if we just talk about the taste, it seems to be quite bland. Because I just ate chicken breast, the meat is rough
Nathanie.tan
As soon as I picked it up, I felt the weight was wrong, it must be more than 370g. I measured it, one box is 1lb 4oz and the other is 1lb 6oz (520g~620g). It can't be so worth it... I opened the lid and saw that it was mixed with juice. The dried meat looks like it should be enough for 370g. It's okay overall, fortunately most of the liquid is water juice instead of oil. The other 350g one has less juice (of course the overall weight is close to 350g). They are all okay, both are quite meaty and have legs.
roamingjay99
A box full of it, I think it's over a pound and a half. I ate one piece and it tasted really good! I will definitely buy it again
