“ Found this gui Ling gao shop. Turn out to be good, the herbal jelly is thick and bitter like it should, but added with the perfect syrup thats watery and not too sweet its like the perfect gui long gao. Small is 8 and large is 10 a bit pricy but I guess if its herbal and healthy its worth it. Suppose to help the body to detox, nourish, relief itch, eliminate pimples and cold sore, remove heat from the body, good for indigestion, strengthen the spleen and make the skin nicer ”
