I love shopping on Weee because it makes stocking up on Asian groceries so much easier, especially for items that are hard to find or annoying to carry home. This order was a mix of frozen staples, fresh produce, and pantry essentials, and overall it really reminded me why I keep coming back.
Mommy's Gourmet Pork Rice Dumpling with Salted Egg Yolk (Frozen, 12 oz)
This is one of those comfort foods I grew up eating, so I'm pretty picky about it. Among all the frozen zongzi I've tried from supermarkets, this one is hands down my favorite. The glutinous rice is fragrant and sticky without being gummy, and the filling is generous. Inside you get lean pork, Chinese sausage, and a salted egg yolk that adds that rich, savory bite. I like that the pork isn't overly fatty, but there's still enough richness to make it satisfying. The flavor is balanced and not overly salty, and if I want more punch, I just add a little soy sauce. It's not quite as good as homemade zongzi from family, but the convenience more than makes up for it. You get two dumplings per pack, which makes it perfect for a quick meal or snack when a craving hits.
Yellowtail Hamachi Premium Loin, Sashimi Grade (1-1.4 lb)
This was the standout of the order. The piece I received was large, very fresh, and exceeded my expectations. The texture was clean and firm, with a buttery richness that made it perfect for sashimi. We sliced it thin and ate it simply with soy sauce and wasabi, and it honestly tasted comparable to what you'd get at a good sushi restaurant, but at a much better price. Because the portion is so big, it's easy to divide it into multiple meals. I've used it for sashimi, poke bowls, and even lightly seared slices, and it held up beautifully. This is one of those items that feels like a luxury but is actually very practical if you like making Japanese-style dishes at home.
Takaokaya Sushihane Roasted Seaweed (10 sheets)
This is my go-to nori for sushi and rice rolls. The sheets are crisp, evenly roasted, and strong enough that they don't tear easily when wrapping sushi or onigiri. I also like cutting them into strips for noodles or rice bowls. The texture stays crunchy and the flavor is clean, not bitter. A very reliable product that lasts a long time and works for everything from sushi nights to quick snacks.
S&B Wasabi Tube, Family Size (3.17 oz)
I usually buy the small tubes, but this larger size just makes more sense. The flavor is sharp and spicy without tasting artificial, and it pairs perfectly with sashimi, sushi, and seafood. A little goes a long way, and it keeps well in the fridge. It's also cheaper than buying multiple small tubes, so this is an easy upgrade if you use wasabi often.
Song Hay Double Happiness Navel Oranges (10 lb)
This was a huge bag, and most of the oranges were sweet, juicy, and refreshing. They're great as a daily fruit or for sharing with family. Like with most large produce orders, there were a couple that weren't perfect, but overall the quality was solid, especially for the price. When they're good, they're very sweet and satisfying.
Organic Purple Sweet Potatoes (3 lb)
These are a staple in my kitchen. The potatoes were small to medium in size, which actually makes them easier to cook. They're naturally sweet, soft when baked or steamed, and very filling. I like roasting a batch and keeping them in the fridge for quick breakfasts or snacks. They're healthy, versatile, and consistently good.
Sand Pears / Crystal Pears (about 5 lb)
These pears are juicy, crisp, and lightly sweet. I like eating them fresh, but they're also great cooked with rock sugar if you're craving something soothing. The flesh is tender and refreshing, and when they're good, they're really enjoyable. A nice balance between sweetness and freshness.
CJ Bibigo Chicken & Vegetable Dumplings (Frozen, 1.5 lb)
These are a freezer staple for busy days. The wrappers are thin, the filling is well-seasoned, and they're easy to cook whether you steam, boil, or pan-fry them. I like them best pan-fried with a crispy bottom. They're flavorful without being greasy and make a quick, satisfying meal.
Twin Marquis Pork & Chive Dumplings (Frozen, 1 lb)
This is my favorite dumpling flavor, and this brand does it well. The chive flavor is fragrant, the pork is juicy, and the wrappers have a nice chew without falling apart. They work well boiled or pan-fried and are perfect to keep on hand for dumpling soup or quick dinners.
Wei-Chuan Pork & Shrimp Wontons (Frozen)
These are my go-to for wonton soup. The filling actually has noticeable shrimp, not just pork pretending to be shrimp. They come with soup packets, which makes it very easy to throw together a comforting bowl with noodles and vegetables. Super convenient and very satisfying.
Weee continues to be one of my favorite online grocery options. The convenience of ordering Asian ingredients, the wide selection, and the quality of most products make it worth it. read more
