This one no idea where is the best.... Usual Hsin Tung Yang is not bad liao but it's sold everywhere, even here in NTUC.... Airport itself also have it.

My favourite beef noodle.....

The beef noodle must mix with their kiam chye.... Go for their special at NT190 per bowl. I always finish up even the soup.... They also sell the beef filled pancake that looks like curled up dung. Don't look appealing but it's damn nice....

Actually, I find nothing much to buy if you are planning to buy branded stuff.... They upmarket shopping is lousy.... Only stuff you can buy are night market and food stuff....

Since I'm going next week and knowing that it will be cold.

 

I wonder if next year re-visit in June school holidays, would the weather be fine? (around 24 ~ 28 degrees or like SG, 30 ~ 33 degrees)

 

Look likes have to plan a 14 days trip next time round.

Winter in taiwan not consider cold until you cannot tahan la. Temp hover between 10 to 20 deg. Usually temp should be around 15 deg.

June in taiwan is summer, temp same as sg. But June still ok to go, if you go in July to Sep, might encounter typhoon.

June is hotter then SG, temperatures can go as high as 32-33, specially in the central parts of Taiwan, Tainan being the hottest.
