oh.. too bad i is May

I got year 1996 and year 2003 USD100 note. Can change in Taiwan or not ? Or can I goto local money changer to exchange for newer note ?
Dunno they allow tat o not

Ehh just posted earlier..& also on pag 1..Those notes still can be changed according to the earlier guy..but for sure u kena xtra charge. U can try your luck changing in malaysia 1st

Im going taiwan on mon.. Any good recommended souvenir to buy there?

Souvenirs are not cheap in Taipei. Normal key chain selling at NT50 to NT100 each unless u get the tiny stones type~NT10/each

2nd go for the famous pinneaple tart...The famous one is located right inside Taiyuan airport at NT550 for a box of 10..That's RM5.80 each for a pinneaple tart!! Cheaper wan ~NT200 for 10 but tatsed worst than Melaka wan.

3rd go for the cheap Yehliu Geopark dry seafood products....These are cheap...but only if your luggage can fit in those seafoods..

Cloths & fashionwares are not cheap..forget about those

The famous pineapple tart selling NT250 for a box of 10 but when I compare it with other brand selling NT150 for a box of 12, the later taste as good as the famous one.
Taiwan tip bits are also good for buah tanggan. Like the dried beef in cinnamon flavour is a good gift for friends and families.
At fashion wholesale center in Wufenpu, your can buy dirt cheap clothing too but china made quality. It is a good time to buy winter jacket though, definitely much cheaper and more choices than Malayisa.

Wah the same box in Taoyuan airport selling NT550!! Can't find it in Taipei city (Well dunno where)..

Wufenpu, my wife got a nice Chian Quality jacket for NT390 after walking around the narrow lanes for almost 1.5hr!!... For me I think sometime during IOI cheap sales, I think can get that jacket for RM15 nia..haha

bro what is Chian Quality jacket? it's a brand ah ?

China..My typing speed to fast dy..Typo errors pretty common liao

Got 2 types of packaging, box of 10 selling NT250 and box of 20pcs selling NT500.

Old notes

Bank of Taiwan (?) only one bank will change, no charge.


Wufenpu & Clothes

Not always the prices, but the choice of styles, a bit more JPNS/Western looking than stuff in Mainland shops.


Foodstuffs

Try the Wellcome 24 hr supermarkets. Or, buy the stuff from a Taiwan shop in Msia! I see ppl paying for extra luggage, several loaded carry-ons Why bother? ;-@

Almost all winter jacket displayed at the shop front tagged with similar price of NT490. Even in Ximenting.
To me, these NT450 winter jackets should be able to tahan up to 0°C or rather suitable for Taiwan's climate. In IOI mall where can get winter jacket for RM15 wor ??? All winter jacket above RMN100 and RM15 can get a box of 3pcs underwear nia leh.

Got-lah...but crappy china quality .. Normally during the jacket promotion in the ctr court fronting jusco probably twice/yr only..during May/jun & Nov/Dec ...Even in Pasar malam, got 2nd hand RM10 winter jacket liao..

A good quality jacket in Wifenpu all > NT$1000, certain stall offering from NT$500 & above 9those I think can withstand till 10C nia..but wife bought the NT390 I think only can withstand the normal Genting wetaher...


BTW, saw the Taiwan pinneaple tart available at Wai Hong medical hall Puteri (Probably Puchong Jaya too)..RM37.90 per box...walao eh...

As per picture above ? 10 pcs or 20 pcs packing ? The one I bought in Taiwan (as per picture above) gave 14 days expiry date nia.

Me too! When are your travel dates? Care to share your itinerary with me? I'm still in the planning stage.
Btw, which airline and hotel did u book?

Haha din count...but Rm37.90..I think should be 12 or 10 kua..Those shorter expiry date normally not in plastic packing & expensive, cheaper wan all inside plastic packing wan

Whr to get bside airport ? Airport expensive rite ?

Here


But other cheaper brand also taste as good. Not necessary must buy this brand. Maybe be you pay more for its popularity.

Japanese goods?

What range.... Mitsukoshi Dept Store, Loft, Muji, Family Mart, Lawsons, Daiso (100yen type), many in Taiwan. Look in the Sg Wang Daiso to see what you can get here. Don't be one of those with four carry-ons hogging the overhead bins.
