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.

It's very sweet and delicious, but I didn't get the doneness right. I thought it wasn't fully cooked, but it was already starting to mushy inside. So you should eat it as soon as possible.
