I think it's okay, but it's a bit oily, and my child doesn't like it.
The size of glutinous rice balls, but the skin contains a significant amount of taro. I love them!
Those who like taro paste can try it; the size is also quite good.
Buy it if it's on sale and keep it.

Never tried taro filling before
