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.

Delicious! The first time I tasted was Mama Fina’s in NYC. This isn’t exactly like that in that the taro leaves are more whole (versus looking like creamed spinach). Flavor is delicious. I also bought sisig bangus and served both with rice
