caution: GENUINE ANSWERS ONLY – NONSENSE AND ABUSIVE LANGUAGE WILL BE REPORTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi,
We like to send a hamper to a australian friend living in taiwan. we have not been to taiwan so we don’t know what to buy for him. If you are living in taiwan or have lived in taiwan and you are an australian (or have australian friends), what would you sugggest we’d put in the hamper (can be non-food)?
are vegemite and tim tams sold in taiwan?
any suggestions?
thanks in advance.

I’m Singaporean but I’ve been to both countries. Just came back from Kaohsiung, Taiwan a few weeks ago on a training trip.
How about jerky? At first I thought of kangaroo jerky but I know some people are against eating the critters and I personally find them cute as well. The Taiwanese have meat floss and their own brand of jerky, known also as sweetmeat or bak kwa (a Chinese dialect for dried meat) but I’m sure it doesn’t match up to the real thing. Another suggestion would be maybe some tea bags of bush tea, which would be a difference from the milk tea and soy milk he’d be drinking in abundance. (Taiwanese milk tea is unique in that it is a blend of four different teas.)
Never seen vegemite or Tim Tams in Taiwan either, but I’d only been there for a short time.
Hope I gave some ideas.

Yes I agree on vegemite and Tim Tams – also add baked beans and tinned spaggetti, BBq shapes, Allens lollies like snakes,Cottees cordial, VB beer or Fosters,Nutella , Aussie dried fruit like sultanas, or even Cereal like Coco Pops or Wheet Bix. I know your hamper has to be packaged goods. Just walk around the supermarket and look at Aussie brands Good Luck.
