I got to say Cheng Hing will not disappoint. The sticky rice is the best I have tasted from different sellers on weee. It is more pricey than all other rice dumplings but the ingredients include Chinese sausage, salted egg and meat.

First time eating it. Not bad. You don't have to go to dim sum restaurant. You can steam it at home and have it for breakfast.

The lotus leaves are very fragrant and filling! But the rice is not soft enough.
Snoop
I have just recently discovered sticky rice and I love it. I love the flavorful chicken stuffed inside the rice. The little cooked "hotdog" in the center is a treat too. I will definitely buy again.

A little on the sweet side. But overall very good. Pork belly was tender and delicious

It tasted very ordinary, with no hint of pickled mustard greens. The meat was mostly okay but a few pieces were very hard, so I only ate half of it.

Authentic Shanghainese pan-fried buns, with thin skin and lots of meat filling, at a reasonable price. The packaging is also very good. When I received it, the box was wrapped in plastic wrap and there were ice cubes.

Not yet eaten. Rather get it from the restaurant

Arrived well packaged with ice packs. Not too greasy, but the flavor was only okay

Generally, not as good as the renderings.

Definitely plan on ordering these again!
LawrenceXiao
Bad. I ordered two, don’t even want to open this second one. Way too salty, not spicy, and the flavor is not right. Will not order again.
wendy
Really safely to taste.
weee.8055508
This cold noodles is so delicious! I really regret ordering two copies! Apart from being salty, there is no garlic flavor, not enough sourness and spicyness, and you can’t even taste the taste of sesame sauce. It’s really outrageous. The noodles are not cold noodles. The noodles are very similar to Cantonese noodles. To me, they are just messy and they sell this. I also kindly ask other people who have tried this kind of cold noodles not to exaggerate and say that it is delicious. It is simply a lie.
Yaya Su
I took a photo halfway through eating, it was delicious
Melody Wang
I have repurchased Gulepiao spicy cold noodles several times. It is spicy and appetizing. It is suitable for those who don’t want to start a meal when the heat wave hits. I think the portion is very generous and the sauce is very fragrant and delicious. I will continue to repurchase it.
Bo
Tastes good, I have bought it many times
Bee
Except for the sauce and noodles. Not the same as the photo. The taste is ok.
gwharp
Just noodles, hot sauce, and some bean sprouts. There was nothing else and the noodles were a bit overcooked. This price is uneconomical. Discounts are not a good deal either. It’s just the noodles and sauce that I won’t repurchase.
