Taiwanese Websites in UK

This is not meant to be a complete list and maybe you already know these, but if not...

Supermarkets

http://www.wingyip.com/

http://www.hoohing.com/

Both of these aren't strictly Taiwanese supermarkets, more Chinese supermarkets really - but you can still get Taiwanese food there.

And http://www.loonfung.com/ was also recommended. Apparently they are very large and popular supermarkets.

Restaurants

Leong's Legends - see http://www.london-eating.co.uk/34874.htm for reviews. It's in Soho - we've been there and really enjoyed the food. They don't only have Taiwanese food (I'm not even sure if it's Taiwanese owned).

I haven't been to any of the below restaurants:

http://www.taiwanvillage.com/

Formosa - see http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2668.htm for reviews

Keelung - see http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/restaurants/review-23706391-taiwan-in-a-tasty-nutshell-at-keelung.do for a review

http://www.alisan.co.uk/ in Wembley


Bakery

My wife has been told aabout a Taiwanese bakery in Golders Green called Old Tree -
but we haven't been there.


Embassy

http://www.taiwanembassy.org/uk/mp.asp?mp=132

Contact Miss Shan Lo - ocac@taiwanese.co.uk - and she will email you a newsletter with upcoming Taiwanese-related events.

General Taiwanese Website
http://www.hellouk.org/ - I think it was originally designed for Taiwanese students in the UK, but anyone can use it. Had a good forum.

Travel Agent

http://www.ourstravel.com/new/ - I've never used them but lots of Taiwanese seem to. At the time of writing they have flights with Eva Air to Taipei for £525 inc tax. (Someone told me that "OursTravel have cheap tickets but service is awful when things go wrong.")


If you know any more good websites please let me know!
