Shimpie- Sorry to diss on the li hing mui My first experience with it was my boyfriend piling this shriveled super salty thing on the top of my beautiful, perfect, plain mound of white rice that I was ready to dig into. The salt permeated the whole bowl. I've held a grudge ever since. It's really the boy's fault but I kinda like to keep him around so I just take it out on the food.

My mom loves the saladitos you mentioned and my boyfriend holds out for stuff from hawaii.. I threaten to go to the feed store and just get em salt blocks. AuntieK's right though, the blossoms make em look down right appetizing.
