Nice ...

boring compared to Japan

but still much better than HK , China and Korea

Eat Japanese food most of the time will sien one..TW food will also look like heaven in my case

Beef with fire extinguisher cooking method? I must have miss out something. What was it? Nice?

Same with JP, summer rarely rain, except when typhoon come

Nice postings 👍
First time I tried Lu Rou fan with eggs in one chap fan stall and it was so delicious, way better than Taiwan restaurants. Hint - chain restaurant with 68, 88, 188

he is probably referring to those night market beef cub, they call it diced beef I think, they cook it using the cooking torch

Oh this one! I skipped these because I regularly grill A4/5 wagyu at home, so didn’t thought of eating them at all

What about hotel room review? Which hotel u stay?

So is true malaysian taste bud the best eh

I was there last month with waifu
8D7N
Spend time in Taipei, Jiufen, Shifen and Hualien

Total we both spend spend including flight is RM8200

Yes bloody hot. The cement bench at the night market was warm!!
Malaysia punya cement bench already cold at night

went to taiwan multiple times in the past

ningxia ye shi is the worst in terms of food.

Been there recently and agree with Shilin night market. Overrated as hell and feel like more carnival (scam) games there than things to enjoy.

Same thoughts on the food, some are good (braised pork ftw!) and some are just tasteless or peppery compared to MY counterpart. Btw, if you go again next time, I recommend Xinbeitou which is slightly north of shilin. Very nice hot spring town and is affordable

Never try the 18 days beer?

ni i mau

was there last month, their summer really not for human one, buying big bottles of 青草茶 daily to cool down
oyster mee sua best one still ximending Ah chung
jiufen must walk all the way to top for the 芋圆
shilin n ningxia very overrated, rather lepak at ximending see twmm
overall spent like rm3000 5d4n trip for 2ppl

Gua actually at taoyuan now but here locals said night time usually rains.
But yeah their bubble tea is really nice, myself not lover but the taste is different. My friend said it's not really called "pearl bubble", I forgot the name but it's kinda transparent.

anyway feel like sharing some of my favourite foods (tasty/kinda miss/hard to find elsewhere/value) I had in taiwan:
- braised pork rice (lu rou fan), nuff said, the fenglai rice glutinous mix with the oily braised pork is really quite enjoyable
- devil chicken chop (惡魔雞排), can find it in some night market, it's actually good, juicy, big portion, not like the stupid ximending chicken chop, I probably can find a juicier wood stick in our jungle than it
- taichung salty cake (鹹蛋糕), it sounds crazy and weird and first but surprisingly good, I miss the taste, it's something you can't really find it elsewhere
- taitung shui jian bao (水煎包), I remember it was NTD20? huge and actually taste good,
- oyster, be it raw or bbq or etc,, way cheaper and fresher then msia, even in night market you can find, already beat most of the hotel here 9 street
- soy milk, their soy milk is really 'milk', as in, really thick and flavourful, unlike us really 'soya water' cause damn watery
- dan bing (蛋餅), ok this one a bit hit or miss because it's everywhere (like we can find karipap almost everywhere) but if you happened to find a good one, it's really good
- sashimi, their fresh catch is actually good and darn cheap, beat msia in every way, of course japan still win but value wise, it's really good
- liquor, they have many distillery there and their quality is really not bad, besides kavalan, there's one kaohsiung distillery that make lychee liquor, really really good
- shi jia (釋迦), their buah nona, totally different from ours, it's like tree-growned ice cream

taiwan food mostly very bland, maybe its us too taste heavy

Raohe night market most recommended pepper bun with damn long queue. Totally no pepper taste at all.
Most of the food in Taipei very bland and boring.

if you're travelling to TW during summer
taipei is the wrong place to be, it's supposed to be anywhere at the south....taidong or ludao

don't eat those beef noodle, oyster meesua at touristy place or night market, they're way off standard compared to what the locals eat

it always is
same reason why we also say SG food is bad

because all the seasoning we put is kaw2
but actually all their foods are just healthier


the best oyster mee sua is actually somewhere at their chinatown
