Description
We spent about $110 total and were left with lots of extra tapioca.
Taro Sweet Soup:
$11 - 6 cans of coconut milk from Amazon. Could probably get them cheaper at the supermarket. We also only used 5.
$25 - 6 lbs of small pearl tapioca from Bob's Mill on Amazon. Could definitely get them cheaper elsewhere. The recipe only called for about 1.5 lbs.
$1.50 - Package of rock sugar from the supermarket.
Dumplings, Snacks and Drinks:
We spent about $65 in total, all from the Hongkong Supermarket in Allston.
For dumplings, we got 3 lbs pork, 2.5lbs chinese chives, 5 packs of wrappers, 1 dozen of eggs, 1 bottle of oyster sauce, 1 small piece of ginger
For snacks, we got taiwanese pineapple cake (凤梨酥), peanut butter wafer and spicy peas.
For drinks, we got 2 bottles of aloe and 1 bottle of calpico.
