A lot of people will ask this question before they travel to the country. It is like the typical kiasu Singaporean question (because you just want to make sure that you got all the good buys)
* The recommendation here are based on my own point of view, i hope that it can serve as a guide when you are doing your shopping ^^
1. Instant Noodle
Don’t laugh. Mind you. Taiwan has the most oishi instant noodle i have ever ate. I regret till this day that i did not bring back a carton and swear that i will do so on my next trip. It is that good.
To be precise, the brand i am referring to is 維力， 一度赞
I shall shut up and let the photos do the talking.

Generous servings of seasoning
Real chuncks of meat!

I’ve also tried the Pork Ribs (排骨）口味. I Like. The Beef 口味 is highly raved about too (but i don’t take beef). The noodle was the Qest it can get. The soup was so thick and in flavour as if it has been cooked under the fire for 2 hours.It was real meat that you are looking at. Not some rubber meat-looking thing. You may think that it must be a joke to eat instant noodle in Taiwan when snacks are so easily available. This is one delicacy you have to try.
Price: about $3 ?

2. Pantene Clinicare Hair
This is an award-winning & best selling haircare from Taiwan & Japan. Highly raved by Taiwanese superstars and stylists, the Hair Time Renewal range promises to renew your hair with luster, moisture & incredible softness with regular use. I wonder WHY is this product not in Singapore (however you can get it online at jerked-up-sky-high prices) This product is endorsed by 大S. Da S
Da S
I don’t know about you… but i would use anything that will give me hair like that.
I bought the shampoo and conditional. There are only 2 types… erm, can’t give details on what types because i hardly can remember. But i bought the one that is shown on the picture. It is called “Hair time renewal”
Verdict: I don’t feel magically transformed nor is my hair anything near Da S. But well… as long as it is not available in Singapore. It must be a good buy.
Price: about $13 ?
3. My Beauty Diary Mask
These masks are very popular (in Singapore). Along with a few other brands such as Hokkiado Lover, Xin Ji Mei Ren….etc. They are easily available in their drug store such as Cosmo.
There are many different “flavour” to suit the different skin types. For example, there is Red wine which can birghten up the skin, Lavender can calm the skin and relieve stress.
There are also Pearl, Sake Yeast, Rice, Yogurt, Apple, Aloe Vera, Natto…etc. It is amazing what which each type can do for your skin! You simpily need each and every one of them ^^
- My Beauty Diary mask
In each box is 10 pieces of mask. There may be different promo in different drug store..so do compare a bit before you start going crazy on the masks.
Price: $10 ?
4. 阿婆铁蛋
This was my personal favourite. I was in love with these little black eggs. Add 1 into your instant noodle and it becomes a perfect meal. *Beware of the cholesterol hidden in the egg*~
It was called 铁蛋because it was as hard as metal. Not for the weak teeth obviously. It taste like 鲁蛋 (braised egg). Oh, the brand i specific here is 阿婆铁蛋
You can find many shops selling Tie Dan of other brands, many flavours. You will even be offered to try before you buy. But not for
阿婆铁蛋. There are no sample for you to try
and there is only 1 original flavour.
Because it does not contain preservatives. Look out for the expiry date (they can’t be kept forever). 阿婆铁蛋 can be bought in 淡水. It is slighly expensive than the “other brands”.. and i am not quite sure if it is the best
But i like 
Price: NT100 per pack (choice of chicken egg or quill egg)
