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

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

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

the best oyster mee sua is actually somewhere at their chinatown

really? didn't know that, I guess view n vibe should be much diff..

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

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

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

TW food overrating, for me lah
too oily, the taste weird...
*
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

oh, in that case need rent car or even stay overnight there. probably next time if go TW again, will go taichung visit friend instead
*
renting a car to drive there isn't very ideal due to it's location
so most people that have seen jiufen at night is because they overnight there
