  I will be going to Taiwan. I wonder what to buy for them as gifts. I will be buying for many people, so can you guys suggest what to buy. Not too expensive. Above $10 but below $20 for each person. I understand that in Taiwan, there is no Milo, is it true ? Thought of buying 3 in 1 Milo if it is true.

  Thanks guys for replying. At least now I have some ideas of what to buy. May be a few of these and a few of that you guys have suggested. I didn't know pandan cake is considered local food and also did not know celebrities like them. I always thought  pandan cake is a kind of cheapest cakes around ha ha ha ....................

  Just because Jackie Chan's son endorses it, doesn't represent the whole goddamn PRC.
