A lot of Taiwanese snacks you cannot eat here.... such as 豬血糕

Malaysian Prawn Noodle Soup; only two places in Vancouver you can eat them: Junk Street in downtown and my restaurant.

Even the noodle soup in my restaurant has very similar taste but the one in Malaysian still tastes better.  Why?  They use many prawn shells to cook the soup for long hours.

This one I have to agree with somewhereintime.

I tried two high-end buffet in Taiwanese and many times here in vancouver (such as Hotel Vancouver and Herons - Fairmont Waterfront.) but I still find the ones in Taiwan are far better.

1.  In term of food selection, Taiwan's have much more selection and there are more sea food items such as raw oyster and crab and more)
2  In term of desert selection, Most buffet here served with different kind of very sweet cakes while Taiwan'se served with different kind of dessert.

well in Malaysian, usually one hawker only sells one type of food so they can have that much time to cook the prawn soup.

In addition, they really need many prawn shells to cook the soup.

It's actually called Hokkien Mee in Penang too but Hokkien Mee in Vancouver usually is fried not soup based.

Is the question, "The food you want to eat but cannot eat here."

or "The food has better taste over in Asia?"

myversa

For Malaysian food, there are some ingredients you still cannot get here.

Some are fresh leaves, when you import them, they are not fresh anymore and thus the taste would be different regardless.
