There were five fairly large taro roots inside. They seemed slightly less sticky than Japanese taro, but that wasn't a problem after cooking and eating them. They had a fluffy texture. They were all in perfect condition with no damage. I enjoyed them very much.

I saw so many people praising this ice cream that I bought some to try. For me, it's nothing special; it's rich and not overly sweet. After one small cup, I couldn't eat any more. I prefer durian ice cream. I saw many people praising this dessert, so I decided to try it. In my opinion, it's nothing special. It's rich and not overly sweet, but after one small cup, I didn't feel like having it anymore. Personally, I prefer durian ice cream.
