I bought it for the second time. It's delicious. I used it to wrap glutinous rice balls. They are soft, glutinous, sweet and good.
lecourtier1vert
Really love this lotus paste. Has a strong nutty flavor, just the right amount of sweetness. I used it to make sweet rice cakes. Be warned it has a lot of oil so be careful opening the package, it will leak a lot of oil

This isn't just regular bean paste... It's the bean paste that goes into mooncakes. You can think of it as white bean paste + peanut oil... I bought it to bake traditional Korean cookies, so I regret it a little... I'm writing my first review so that you don't make a stupid mistake like me... I barely made it by removing the oil with a kinchin towel for an hour, but the mooncake's characteristic smell remains ㅠㅠ

Lotus root starch is an excellent snack for the elderly and children. It's also a good tonic for patients, helping to relieve gas and soothe the stomach. Simply mix a small packet of lotus root starch with warm water, add more water to make a bowlful, heat in the microwave for 40 seconds, then stir again. How convenient!

The prices are much better than Asian markets, the produce is fresh and delivered intact. My family always buys vegetables from Wee. However, they don't ship fresh produce to Gofftown, which is very inconvenient. I was only able to place an order if I could get a relative in Manchester to help me, so I could have ordered more but couldn't.

It was very delicate, but too sweet. I added a lot of water and a little glutinous rice flour to make the sweetness just right.

Mid-Autumn Festival needs a sense of ritual. A box of mooncakes is a must. Maxim’s is a big brand. Eat with confidence. The price is cheaper than the supermarket after discount.
