How is the price in that cafe? Reasonable?
*
hmm.gif price range quite high, 1 set inclusive of main dish, drinks within range below 200TWD (enuff for 2 pax), 1 small fruit dish = TWD350

i try their seafood cheezy baked rice, very satisfied with the dish, many cheese and cream, & especially the squid , dam Q and sweet thumbup.gif .


* site-note for digital tour buddy:
after u apply online, if still did not receive any confirmation 1weeks before ur trip, try send an email to them. u will get back reply real fast smile.gif

From what I enquire before, Maybank and CIMB ATM cards can be used to withdraw money in Taiwan. Public Bank atm card can't.

There are 3 ways to activate:

1. Call up the customer service as stated on your card. This might take long time as sometimes they busy, then they need to do verification. Will waste your phone credit if using HP to call...
2. You can set using e-banking service (maybank2u.com.my / cimbclicks.com.my). Fast and secure.
3. At ATM machine. But please do this if there are no people queue behind you else you'll make them wait long.

You have to set a time frame limit on when you wanna use it...from when to when.
*
public bank atm card if not wrong currently all is the pb d2d debit card liao, tat 1 can use for withdraw at taiwan atm, i using it so i noe and dun need activate at all.
and frankly speaking i recommend direct swipe CC / debit card if can, withdraw from atm - RM10 for each transact. Use CC/Debit card same rate and can get cash back bonus (altot very very low...).

and yeah, recommend change to USD first at Msia, then change to TWD at their airport.
thru this method usualy u get 100TWD : 10.60RM (end of May rate when i go).

and at some shopping mall or shops,in the same day if u purchase over 3000TWD can ask for 5% foreign visitor tax back , Eslite can do tat for sure (any shops within same building, and pls consult Customer Service counter first ).
