Family Mart, Hi-Lite and 7-11 are probably the more well known convenience stores around Ximending. Trust me to raid them for localised products to attempt.
Chocolate Milk Tea by Lipton! The chocoholic thought the consistency of milk tea was too thin.
Undetered, Strawberry Milk Tea next which also faced the same sorry fate!
I stuck to their milk variations - papaya milk! The cool thing is these can be reheated in the microwave if you want them warm. Loved the papaya flavour here, down to the last drop I really enjoyed this!
Almond milk was pretty good too! I love almond-flavoured anything so this worked for me.
Everyone whom I know that has been to Taiwan has raved about their instant noodles big time - so much so, lugging back a couple is completely not an option.
Started off at supper with 花雕雞面...as herbal as it sounded, it really was herbal!
Completely floored - look at those chicken chunks and wolfberries thrown in too! Talk about making it as real as possible. Tastes just like my Mom's homemade noodles - goodness all thrown in.
These are priced more premium than the regular instant noodles, well worth the price I say! NTD 50 onwards per bowl which may be the equivalent of a piping hot bowl of noodles in the night market, convenience overrules for me.
Herbal Duck
Priced much cheaper than the rest, this came without the chunky meats, only cubes like above. Nonetheless, still delicious though lacking in wholesome.
A winter specialty - Sesame Chicken flavour!
I really do not know how they nail it, but they do it so well right down to the colour, fragrance and taste! This was great as well but a pity noodles went soggy too fast. Would have been better if noodles were thicker in consistency.
Here comes 维力's Braised Beef Noodle!
Matching the picture completely - they did deliver what they said they will afterall! Thick noodles with a bite and uber hearty broth.
Now for the big brother of all brothers, 满汉大餐's range of instant noodles! They do retail in Singapore at a select of food fairs.
These satchets that make the huge difference.
A complete meal on its own - look at the pile of ingredients!
Mamma mia kind of good. I really regret not lugging back a carton's worth!
What's going to a country without trying their beer? No Tsingtao, I headed for their Gold Medal beer, loved lager! Not too bitter and a tad too fizzy but one of the preferred lagers around.
