Fresh crab, cooked in jute leaf soup, is incredibly delicious!
Bich Van
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.

anhhien27691
I don't know how to cook it, but the crab paste turned out all mushy, so I can't really tell what it tastes like. But a bag like that for over $8 is a bit expensive. I bought the green one for just over $3 and it tasted just as good. Buying two of those bags would have been much cheaper.
