Based on a survey conducted by Taiwan Tourism in 2012, the top attractions for inbound tourists are sights and sceneries, food and shopping. As such, the Taiwan Travel Fair will also highlight three major experiences under the theme of “Time to Enjoy Life”:

Time to Eat

When it comes to food, Taiwan has it all. Dine like royalty without paying a king’s ransom for it. From juicy seasonal fruits, sumptuous traditional Chinese dishes, healthy vegetarian dishes, icy desserts to creative tea drinks, Taiwanese cuisine makes full use of local ingredients and age-old techniques to surprise and satisfy your palate. Don't forget the world-famous night markets, filled with the enticing aromas of delicious street food and snacks!

Time to Shop

Taiwan is a shopaholic’s dream come true, with many large shopping centres and chain department stores in all four corners of the island. Shop for anything you want, from high-quality made-in-Taiwan 3C products, to famous highland tea and handmade weavings. For the fashion lover, all kinds of affordable clothing, leather goods and branded products are at your fingertips. In Taiwan, you are sure to find just about everything you want.

Time to go on Two Wheels

These days, the LOHAS (Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability) trend is gaining popularity as people begin to be more health and eco-conscious. Taiwan is well-known for its LOHAS practices, and there is no better way to experience it than to travel along the breath-taking coastal highways by bicycle! Immerse yourself in the beauty of nature and appreciate the simple yet wonderful things in life with your loved ones. 

Sounds like a perfect idea don't you think?

Time to enjoy life!

Remember to drop by at the Taiwan Travel Fair to find out more! :)

[REVIEW] Food Panda Delivery - Where Love Is Found

There's nothing like curling up in bed on a rainy night. The couple just finished the movie marathon, only to realise that their stomachs are growling - it is time for dinner! But no, none of them wants to get all dressed up and drive to a restaurant. Then the boyfriend struck by an idea - how about ordering food from Food Panda?

Food Panda comes to the rescue!

''What is Food Panda?''

''Nah,'' The boyfriend says, while taking out his smartphone. ''It is an online food delivery service. This little panda does food delivery to anywhere at anytime, food are just a finger tip away! Lemme show you.''

''First, let's download the apps from
Apple: https://itunes.apple.com/app/foodpanda-order-food-delivery/id758103884
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.global.foodpanda.android

or simply log on to: https://www.foodpanda.my/

''........then search for our location to see what are the restaurants around us!''

''Hmph I bet only MacD or KFC is available for delivery. They are so oily and unhealthy lorr.....''

''Nope you are wrong. Check this out!''

''Food Panda takes food delivery to another impressive level. Maybe you want a juicy homemade burger, a steak done to your liking, dessert after a meal, or pasta, pizza, Indian, Thai - it really doesn't matter. Food Panda is able to provide you with a wide variety of choices. See they have them all! They even have the minimum order, delivery fee and delivery time listed on each restaurant so you will know how long it takes before placing your order. So what you want darling?''

''Oh my goodness look! They have Starbucks, Kenny Rogers, and even my favourite CHATIME!''

The couple is overwhelmed by the choices available. What's for dinner tonight?

By using the 'filter' function at the top right corner, they found their desired restaurant - Vivo Pizza! 

One can never go wrong with pizzaaaaaa!

''Darling we can choose the size of the pizza that we want, and even additional cheese! 

The pictures of the food and the description are also clear and straight forward. 

It feels just like dining in the restaurant, don't you think?''

''8 inch okay?''

''Okay.''

*Adding food to basket/cart*

Once order has been confirmed, the total amount of their order is shown on the next page and they then proceed to checkout. They are required to key in necessary information like address upon checkout. 

They receive a SMS to their phone with a verification code, and a subsequent SMS saying how long it takes for the delivery to arrive. Payment can be made online or cash on delivery. So convenient and easy!

''Now sit back and wait patiently for the food to arrive at our doorstep!''

The girlfriend is happy and impressed!

''No more instant noodles, bread and biscuits for my late night crave........''

Found a gem. *touched*

After an hour........

''HONK HONKKKK.......!!!!''

The delivery man is here!

The food arrived warm! All in good condition. *Thumbs up*

Mmmmmm.... Smells good.

Bon appetit!

A full stomach makes a happy heart.

Then the couple be like...... (Y)

Sounds too good to be true? Let's test on it!

First we applied a layer of nail lacquer on top of a coffee filter paper and next we added a drop of water. We watched as the water seep through the paper around the nail polish. We always worry that the layer of colours on our nails causing oxygen and air unable to penetrate through the nails, but with Maybelline Color Show Nail Lacquer, it is totally breathable!

After introducing us to the new collection, it's time for some fun! All the girls were given the new products to try and create a full look using Maybelline products.

Time to show off your true colours babe!
