I miss Taiwan! How about you? ❤

One of my most favourite things to do in Taiwan is food hunting! From night markets to restaurants, there are so many types of food to explore in Taiwan. Not forgetting to mention the Taiwanese delicacies that we can bring home as souvenirs.

Here's the good news for you: Taiwan Food Tour Pop-Up Event is happening now at 1 Utama Shopping Centre, First Floor Centre Court (Old Wing, near to Hooga). from 26 - 30 October 2022. You can enjoy over hundred types of F&B products and experience the different flavours of Taiwan here!

This event is led by the Bureau of Foreign Trade and the TAITRA (Taiwan External Trade Development Council) following the launch of the “Taiwan Food Tour Go” in August 2022.

Taiwanese food is known the world over for their focus on sustainability, natural ingredients, safety, freshness and wholesome good taste. According to Mr James Chang, Taiwan brings to the table diverse tastes and beautiful packaging. Food shows and booths for Taiwanese foods, vegetables and fruits are frequently held in supermarkets and malls across Malaysia, and the products are generally well-received by Malaysian consumers. There is long-term development potential of Taiwanese food products in Malaysia and plenty of business opportunities to be tapped.

Chang added that the organisers hopes that this pop-up event will generate valuable feedback and references for Taiwanese companies thinking of venturing into the Malaysian market. He is confident that, like himself, many Malaysian consumers are looking forward to having more Taiwanese delicacies in Malaysia.
