What are Usual Needs of Expats?

[Aikaili]

I find the cure of the ham in the local groceries is disgusting. Even bacon is like ham here.

The Hammer near Dingxi station has a nice pastrami on a pita sandwich. http://www.thehammertaiwan.com/

Also, liquid bread has a good one and they are the owners of Purebread. https://www.liquidbreadco.com/?fbclid=IwAR042uFRtu8cljzleeZcbeavCXr5DMoIBXZbjNtuh4PJOlsL7yGSFyE3S18

When you say “expats,” which foreigners do you mean?

Brits are called expats who ever they are and whatever they do, others are just foreigners.

Basically any whole grain bread like black bread or grey bread.

Has been tried, not enough locals want it, not enough foreigners that really buy it.
Even Americans, Brits like the kind of soft ‘Wonder Bread’.

I know, but one can dream.

I know, but one can dream.

Even in Europe people like to eat whole (multi) grain, but not the one with really lots of grain inside, that’s a minority. Most of it is fake, as it contains little grain and the color is just added.

I crave sourdough bread more than anything else.

There is sourdough in Taiwan. And I would start one up again if there where enough buyers.

Hi Everyone!

I created this topic to see what generally expats need in Taiwan. It would be nice to know what kind of food, services, lodging or anything in mind that expats are looking for in their stay in Taiwan. The reason for me of putting up this topic, is because I am planning to put up a business either to provide services, products, or assistance for expats.

Please feel free to comment. The more comments the better for me to narrow down what my business will focus on.

Thank you everyone and Blessings to y’all!

Set up a phony service and sell franchises to the FNGs who pop in here two or three times a year, convinced that the foreign community is sitting on some vast trove of revenue that nobody has been clever enough to tap into until now!

You’ll make a bundle.

But…is it good?

@Hanna

I would settle for just one really good deli sandwich type of place.

There are a few subways around the country not really good, nor deli, but they sell sandwiches.

[Belgian_Pie]

Mine was. I’ve got some from a French guy that was good, but seemingly he went back to France.

Salivate away!

I ‘aint sayin’ I’d eat this every day…just craving it sometimes.

Sushi Express is even better. It’s not really good, not deli, and they don’t sell sandwiches.

Man, that apple fritter and peach cobbler really got my glands working.

sometimes you just need a Greggs pasty

I miss Calabrese Bread…

With a crust so hard, it was recently classified as a weapon…kidding. But at least I know why my Zio only had three teeth.

Ethiopian food would be nice.

Yes, haven’t had any good injera in a while.
