A medium light crunch to the texture. You can tell it is a sort of crunch one gets from deep frying instead of from baking. The flavor is deeply savory, giving an addictive saltiness that is not overpowering. Surprisingly, the curry flavor is mild. I was expecting...(more)

The flavor of this compote is so gentle, yet perfectly fruity. The green peach itself is tender to the bite, yet maintains its flesh texture and still comes with its seed, which equally tender. No sourness, no bitterness, no astringency. The jelly is super soft an...(more)

Soft and delicate flesh in texture just melts in the mouth. Semi-sweet in its natural fruity taste with a mellow tartness from the apple vinegar. All of the individual preserved plums still have a single large seed/pit in them. They are addictive, impossible to st...(more)
