Maybe you will ask why that little? If you are traveling, we are eager to try local dishes instead of the hotel breakfast and so we just had a little. Then, go for the 台南 Tainan Traditional Noodles With Over 100 Years Of History. This was also in the Top 10 must-do when you visiting.

I would highly recommended this noodles as the taste can be acceptable by our Malaysian. While, eating too much foods within few minutes can make us overweight. Seriously, have to go for a walk after the meal.

Other than that, take the opportunity to try the agnès b. café that launched in Taiwan and Hong Kong. The reason is because in recently most of the branded stores have been diversified to opened their own brand name cafe or restaurants such as Gucci Caffè & Restaurant (Florence), Emporio Armani Cafes (Milan, Dubai), Ralph Lauren Restaurant (Paris, US), Ralph's Coffee Shop (New York), Chanel (Tokyo), Bulgari (Dubai, Shanghai) and Cavalli Restaurant & Lounge (Ibiza). If you are fans of branded, you will definitely trying this new fashion trends. Although the agnès b. café have launched in several years, they are not only a fashion labels with own eateries but remain introduced new dishes depending on the season.
