I use this to make tom yum and my signature fried chicken for nasi lemak. Glad there’s frozen version so I can keep it for long.
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.

christie.shinn
This ginger is great. With this brand you don’t get that funky off-taste American and Indian products use to preserve ginger and garlic. Very clean tasting.
christie.shinn
These never have that funky aftertaste but are real nice and tasty. Always good for when I feel too lazy to maintain a knob of ginger.

I appreciated the delivery speed but also the thoughtful packaging in an insulated bag with an ice pack! It arrived cold!

I bought this because my tube runs out so quickly.

Crispy. Taste is a bit weird to me. A little spicy which didn’t expect that. Ingredients and seasoning don’t specify all the details. Found a few pieces of lemongrass sticks that don’t look pleasant. I won’t buy again.
