No problem if u can speak.

Must buy Sun biscuits if go Taiwan.Check out this brand http://www.taiwan-vigor.com.tw/front/bin/p...Category=349745
Bought this biscuits while in Xiamen (branch) and cost RMB90 (Approx RM45). And if i am not mistaken the lady told me in Taiwan they sell at TWD360 (approx RM36) for a box of 10 pcs .Yea...find it quite expensive for me..

And if you are thinking buying pineapple tart, I have tasted many , this is one of the best however they are different fr M'sia version.The reason I said tis is good cos u can taste the pineapple and the rest they make it like paste instead of jam and some are too sweet.It will be nice to taste like jam and has a little bit of sweet n sour instead of just sweet. The pastry has no buttery taste but very fine.And some I even tasted they mix with pineapple essence which is yucky.

fuyohhhh....15k...u can go Europe

It means for NTD100 --- u hv to pay him RM10.70

At this price u can get a lower end samsung brand - smartphone in M'sia. http://www.superbuy.my/shop/p-85825-samsung-galaxy-y.aspx or http://www.superbuy.my/shop/p-155228-samsu...-y-lafleur.aspx or http://www.superbuy.my/shop/p-108100-samsu...hone-s6500.aspx ----> no contract require. Samsung M'sia Warranty

Well, the one that u mentioned, the warranty is in Taiwan. You want to go back all the way there should something wrong with hp whn u come back to M'sia?And are there any service centre in Msia?

Up to u to decide

Jz Touch down taoyuan at 2.10pm. N xperiencing wet wet Taipei.Weather is at 15c...super cold too.Booked an airport transfer @ 850twd.Got d contact fr tripadvisor

Stayed near ShihLin for today which is just opp .Jiantan station is 5 min walk.d driver who drove us said better go ning xia mkt for food which is better than Shihlin.so heading there later

Tis is my 6th day in Taiwan.So far i.hv been.to Taichung, Hualien,Jiufen, Shifen n Danshui.Hired a recommended driver taxi to go all these plc except Danshui.Save a lot time n no nid to look for hotels or how to get here n there.N all luggage jz dump in d car.N d driver prebook d hotel for us.so far so good.igave a budget of TWD1200 - TWD1500.Managed to stay in Wulin wz hotspring n it was great.

While in Taipei , stayed in ShihLin.area.Homestay jz across th Shihlin mkt.Jiantan MRT 10 min walk. N moving soon to Xi Men.Ding area for 2 nites.

I must agree some said food in.Taiwan is nothing to shout abt....food is repetitive in ShihLin or everywhere u go.See lots of deep fried XL chick, bbq squid, all.d spare parts thingy,.ru rou fan...mostly deep fried stuff.So far...d best variety I could find is at Ning Xia nite(is all abt food here n no.shopping).Food in Taiwan r not cheap .M jz refering hawkers food on d street.Thieir small plate of braised pork leg cost TWD100..n sucks.Thailand has better pork leg. N pls dun.eat the bbq corn ...dunno.wat sauce they put...got very strong taste of five spice powder...ohhh yucks!... n d corn texture is not crunchy nor sweet.Our Msian bbq corn wz butter n.salt taste better anytime.btw...d chillies is SUPER HOT..i can take spicy food fr Thailand or in Msia but Taiwan chilli hot n spicy...it kills or put u off d moment u eat it.

N those heading here soon...go n take d easycard at wisma goldhill for free.Juz load money in 7/11.can use it in d bus, mrt, convenient store, watson etc.

Bring along umbrella or rain coat.It rains occassionally here.Temp might drop at nite so bring a fleece perhaps.

U dont need to check.Cos transaction time n.d time u chk ...there might be a plus minus figure

Totally agree.long q n so many tourist fr China.Din Tai Fung oso overated.

Better go to d food court next to d restaurant which has a variety of food.Price is reasonable.Close to d price at d night mkt or a bit higher but u hv comfortable plc n good ambience to dine there.

I had the tou hua wz peanut soup @ TWD40...is d same price as at Ning Xia..!!!

Not enuf.u probably bring along RM2.5k to be safe.but depend how u spend.and food in taiwan.is not cheap

Search tis forum for Mr Liao. Hotel in Taipei - one2stay.only 9 unit.Near Xi Men MRT exit 1. READ d review in trip advisor. Very convenient. good location.Tis is meant for budget traveller.

Shopping in Wufenpu - not really tat great.D opening price is always TWD380 regardless what pcs u showed them.Yes u buy 3 get TWD1000 but still i find over priced.I asked for 4 pcs at TWD1000 tat fella not willing to sell .This is jz d top m getting.n mostly r fr China. M comparing shopping for cLothes in BKK at d wholesale area n i cud get good quality n cheaper which is made in Thailand.

Even souvernirs r not cheap.

Raohe is a better nite mkt.They hv got food n shopping here.Dun really like ShihLin...hv motorbikes coming in which i dislike cos u got to watch out for them

XiMenDing kind of dead after 11pm. N 11 am some shops r still closed

Those who nid a taxi or private transport. fr airport..can contact Mr Song +886982258878 or+886956258878.Whatsapp him or email accord5868@yahoo.com.tw.Only in chinese.If dunno how use google translate.Fr taoyuan airport to Shihlin @ TWD850 / XMD to Taoyuan @TWD800. This is base on accord car can fit 4 pax plus 3big luggage n 1 small. use it if u travel.in grp and after yr shopping spree .His price is reasonable n public taxi wud probably cost u more than 1k.

It depends on individual preferences. But my choice would be Ning Xia (for food only)& Raohe (food & shopping...u can get T shirt from TWD150, shoes @ TWD190. Famous stinky tofu - taste ok @ TWD45, Pork ribs or lamb ribs herbal soup @ TWD70...so so nia) Wu Fen Pu only sells clothing (wholesale) big areas.Close at night. Bargain kow kow some said...as I mentioned 3 pcs for TWD1000 (that's for top pcs only) but some get 4 pcs TWD750 (well I dunno)...all clothes r mostly from China. I din shop for clothes like crazy here as I find it not worth it . I prefer Thailand which is more reasonable

Feng Jia is at Tai Chung. If u are there, go ahead.

Xi Men Ding is like a commercial district (middle market). Ah Zhong mee suah (not ayster) taste best here. The rest pls dun try...SUCKS!

Tat's d price if u go n come back.d same day

If u go in a grp of 4 is quite reasonable.....i guess d car they use is toyota wish.U dun hv to to rush like d tour bus where u hv other passenger.Take yr own sweet time.N no stupid shopping venue (tis is base on my trip which i also hire a driver).n best thing d driver tat i hired provide wifi in d car which save me a lot for calls n i dun nid to buy d local sim card.Petrol in Taiwan is not cheap

\
during my trip mid apr it was raining temp was 13 deg whn I arrive. Super COLD.Luckily brought along jacket. Taichung not so cold. Went to Hehuan Shan & WuLin super COLD at 9 Deg. Hualien was abt 20+ then came back to Taipei temp up ...so with T shirt it was ok.Then my last 2 days temp was down again + RAIN. Went to Maokong super cold.

Not really cheap at all.But i do knw Guangzhou is cheap.Dun underestimate d design.There's a street tat specialise in wedding dress n gowns in Guangzhou

Totally agree food is overated...Din Tai Fung also not tat great .Some of d dishes available r not available there.N if u hv tried Dragon i ....Dragon i xiao long pao taste much better.

Taxi is not cheap there.Cost me TWD220 fr ShihLin to XMD.

Ping Xi kind of quiet town...Went to shifen to release lantern near d railway which is interesting. Whn d train comes ...everyone move out then continue.Whn i was there...there were many Msian. Lantern cost from TWD100. N can play fireworks too.d ppl sell u d lantern will help u to take pic too.

Where to?
