help on gift for Taiwanese

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

i've been trying to think of something special to send to friends in Taiwan. I understand chocolate is popular in China, is this also the case in Taiwan?

and how about Dutch cheese? Would that be something that is not widely available?

any suggestions are more than welcome!!1:help

Re popularity of chocolates in Taiwan. I've read a blog of a taiwanese traveller who repeatedly praises the quality of chocolate food/drink in HK, which seems to imply that he couldn't have such quality chocolates in Taiwan (strange ... ). So my guess is that quality chocolates should be good gifts for your friends in Taiwan.

香港的朱古力,真的非常好吃,離開前還特地買了朱古力帶回台灣。

Thank you both for your input. Gosh, I have no idea what Biltong is!! I'll have a look around. I figure it will probably be something like chocolate. It's so difficult to decide when you haven't got a clue what is available in Taiwan nor what the difference in taste is (probably a lot:))

Hong Kong chocolate, really delicious, specially bought from the former chocolate back to Taiwan.

Cheese is rarely available in Taiwan, so that is an idea. Chocolate might be an even better idea, also more 'mail-able' than cheese. Or you can send some local delicacy (if you're Dutch: speculaas or stroopwafels are good) or souvenir.

stroopwafels and speculaas sound like a great idea! And I have just bought Fudge in the Channel Islands (Herm), which is wrapped in a beautiful box. I think they will like that. How would a mix of 'drop' go down in Taiwan?

Thanks en alvast heel erg bedankt,

Katafei
