The cake is fluffy, the cream is rich, not too sweet, and tastes delicious.
tammyho1994
The original milk filling has a pure and mellow milky aroma, the cream is smooth and creamy without being cloyingly sweet, the old-fashioned bread is soft and airy, and the filling is generously generous. It tastes great whether you let it sit at room temperature for a while or eat it chilled. My family prefers light milky desserts, so it's perfect as a small dessert after a meal. I also bring one to work to share with colleagues; the light and not-too-sweet flavor is very universally appealing. The individual packaging makes it easy to store, making it an essential item for everyday stocking! I especially love the white one; the original flavor is the best! I buy it every time!

One of my favorites , sweet light and a delectable balance so it doesn't punch you in the face with sugar like you'd expect. Definitely buying more from Sayweee, that i finally have a way to get them without taking a half out drive both ways to the Asian grocer.

Very delicious and not too sweet.

The chocolate flavor is rich and smooth, with a silky, creamy filling that avoids the sourness of inferior cocoa. The soft outer layer encases a generous, bursting filling, and it's refreshingly smooth when chilled. Individually packaged for hygiene, it's perfect for breakfast with milk or as a snack. My family loves chocolate desserts. I bought several to share at work; the rich flavor was a hit with my colleagues. It keeps well when frozen, so there's no need to worry about it spoiling quickly. Great value for money, I keep buying it! I still prefer the original white flavor though

Of the three flavors, I think Choco is the best. I'm not even a huge fan of Choco. The other creams from this brand are so rich that I get sick of them after a few bites, but I've almost finished Choco. It's not too sweet or greasy, which is nice.
