jiufen at night definitely different but not a lot of people will go at night...especially u
because there are no bus going there or going away from there at night
it's very quiet at night
i also don't go there at night
this is what happen when u got used to malaysian food
until even SG food taste bland

a lot of places outside of MY, their food taste more bland for health conscious purposes
until if u ever watch taiwanese review food video, their acceptance for "sweet" for their bubble milk tea is really really low...even our half sweetness is really sweet to them

I'll be going next month for meeting. easy to to get non harom food or not. I kenot eat harom food

Still hot and humid ka

betul2 life of helang
ur life my dream

only enjoy taipei when young and single ,, dint care much about their food... if u know what i mean,,, night2 go clubbing and find mei mei

now uncle retire, go tehre tried their food really cannot make it... their famous beehoon in night market is like canteen food for my sons...

TS, Y U no add/review places to piap Taiwan Siham? 
Ayam disappointed.

sibeh mahal yo....
this is korean product, probably thats why mahal
I like the Ay-Chung rice noodles.... supprised you didnt like it, like every morning will walk over to eat this at Ximenting

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

Nice sharing bro! btw I laughed when you kept mentioning Hot Hot Hot! haha

I'm waiting for TS's BKK write up. 

HK food is ok ok , their morning breakfast sucks, they eat same shit Set A to Set E every morning , in msia we can easily get more varieties of foods in 1 restaurant. really    and i stop eating breakfast for few months when i working there

the expensive food is nice, those high end one. if wanna eat wantan mee read review first, some nice some really sucks

for most people, HK is a place that you won't feel like going for 2nd time , and japan / taiwan you can go many many times.

lol shenzhen nothing special too, big cities nothing special, everywhere same

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

2nd one

Surprisingly the best food I had for my TW trip is 火雞肉飯 at Taichung

aiyo you noob la..
best activity to go taiwan in summer is to go shoes shop and try on shoes.

and experience tai mei hospitality of them bend down helping you to try the shoes, with their summer wear     

i went there with tour bus, stay there 7 days, all the buses auntie uncle complaint the foods no sweet and salty...

all taste like crap, all just want to hurry go back and eat our char koay teow...haha

kaohsiung macam nothing. or maybe because i bz taking wedding photos and fast hand fast leg go back taipei to continue the trip.

dammit i just realize i replied to 2023 thread. who necro? 

considering i'm a fellow father myself, and a cheapskate, here's some tips i personally practice.
1. if you are going oversea trip (and expensive one) when your baby is still small, dont hide behind your baby and say "oo..its for the baby experience", they dont have clear memory maybe a bit but not clear. if you want to go, yes go, but its for either you or your wife's wants, not the baby.
2. airlines usually have kids ticket when they are 2 yo or younger. its like 10% of full ticket. maybe depends on airlines. check ahead. take a flight trip at least once. coz anything beyond 2yo, its a full ticket price. take advantage of it for everyone, when its closer to 2yo then they might have better memory of it.
3. as above, better save the money. imagine. if your kids are teens, you already no money cause keep spending on them. they told you they never been anywhere. you talk them you all went europe, japan, etc when they 3-4-5 yo, what do you think their response is? of course they say it doenst count coz they cant remember or enjoy so small. you might as well save the money for when they are older and can create clearer memories.
4. but that should not stop you from going on trips, do lotsa road trip, that's cheaper and enjoyable. its a time to get out of norm and relax. when they are older, maybe can go furrther, like thailand, etc.
5. locally, many attractions have different kid's ticket requirement, mostly is like 90cm, o 2 or 3 yo. so check it out and go those zoo, park, etc when they are still eligible for children ticket. dont baru birthday kena bayar full price baru tau. start prioritize and go to places like 90cm first, then 2 yo, then 3 yo.

my kids are now 9 and 6yo. sometimes they say the last trip is their best trip ever. it doesnt matter if its hatyai or melaka or cameron lol. even if we have brought them to taiwan, etc. might be due to going with friends.

whn is the best time to go Taipei and how much to bring?

RM2000 ish per person more thn enuf?

nice sharing TS, remind me back then my Taiwan Trip

BTW is their milk tea better than us?

my gf told me thai is d best

nanti ada rezeki lagi nak gi taiwan boleh la cuba

BTW dia panas tapi very windy kan

I don't find Taiwan nice. Very salty.

the only thing i find pleasant there, is the streets r clean, the taiwanese people are very down to earth people.

snap using phone?
