Good luck finding non harom food at taiwan. 7-11 should have more choice.

Aiseh, upon googling got some decent one(macam I dunno lol). but price per meal expensive, as expensive as in japan(for halal food of course)

china(shanghai,beijing) was quite easy, great taste and cheap price. So I thoughtsince taiwan also "china" maybe similar. those boba tea thing should be non harom right

Tbh taiwan food are tasteless for my taste, I only missed their places and peoples there, relaxing and friendly to

this is mostly cause our perception is based on a small region in malaysia which insisted on gao and more gao sweat.gif

heck, recently went with a group to sabah and my friends said sabah food not nice cause its bland and plain tasting. i was okay since ive been before and knew, but theyre new so they assumed otherwise

That din Tai Fung was a waste of time to us. Didn't like the food. Bland, every dim sum got glutinous rice.

Well, Malaysia also sometimes can feel that kind of hot but theirs is continuous. 6days there same weather.

It's a bit like after you came out from a bath but keep sweating. Those ppl see me dukung my 2 years old son queueing for stinky tofu in taichung wondering why I wet my whole shirt.

Boba tea is non harom. Just tea, milk and starch. Maybe those funny ingredient boba tea are harom, just dont order them.
Have fun and enjoy view of Taiwan amoi whistling.gif

you can try this , one of the best, walking distance from ximending

HK, shit place tbh, walk on the street that time crowded, people around you smoking, air con water dripping from building above. people rude too, hell and heaven if compared to Taiwan

China, nothing special, big cities boring, everywhere air quality sucks. people less rude better than hk, those countryside tourist area still ok can go sightseeing, but don't buy anything, lots of scams

yea, korea food only 1 taste 1 style  biggrin.gif

laugh.gif laugh.gif why see your description of HK a bit don't want to go liao..but how about the food?

if i go china, probably go visit more countryside spots sightsee and visit Shen zhen, electronic Mecca

dont recall it was peppery for me, how do you rate the peppery level for your previous beef noodles? usually got some white pepper but not enough to feel zing from it

hmm, enough for my wife to complain about it..for me, confirm don't like, i think i taste pepper instead of beef. for me, even prosperity burger i also think too much pepper laugh.gif

I think the "hot" not comparable
malaysia is like oven, n taiwan is like steamer
walk out few min already whole body wet, even the air is hot, not to mention its still very warm during midnight...

same as when they go SG and MY for vacation as well

somehow from the feedback from certain people in this thread....seem like a majority cannot survive eating outside of malaysia food because it's bland
these people got too used to eating strong tasting or flavour food until almost everything starts to taste bland

go airport kaohxiong. then go kenting town see beaches. then make your way east. alishan.
if can drive, then can slowly enjoy the scenery from kaohxiong to kenting. kaohxiong mostly seafood la cause port city.
but night market wise, it will fall short compared to taipei. taipei got much more variety.
but if first timer, ayam recommend taipei then baru kaohxiong

惡魔雞排 i had the counterpart, 天使鸡排 at kaohxiong very nice. very very tebal but juicy.
lu ruo fan is equivalent of our nasi lemak. can find anywhere.
my soya experience is the 阜杭豆漿。it was salty version lol but nice la.
only had some beer bought at 7-11. their 7-11 sure go in when i passby.
i did not have this 釋迦. next time will go again to try
