1. L&W Vermicelli is made from mung bean and starch. Add the vermicelli into well cooked mung bean and cook another 2 minutes then add sugar. It is delicious to serve either in hot or chilled during Summer time.

3. During Winter. For Hot Pot Serving. Add the Vermicelli in the fish-head soup, L&W cuttle fish ball, fish ball/with mushroom. It is delicious and warm you up.
