Here are a list the things you might consider adding to your suitcase before you go.
- Western cooking spices
- lemon pepper, Montreal steak spice, oxo cubes, french onion, dukka
- Coffee (Saltspring Organic Fair Trade is my favorite)
- Honey
- Oatmeal and other hot breakfast cereals-
- Dried soup mixes -a nice comfort food to have when you are feeling sick, blue or hung over.
- Mexican style spices
- Walnuts, brazil nuts, and other exotics can be next to impossible to find.
- smoked salmon - I love this to eat and it makes a perfect gift for friends and families in Taiwan or really anywhere in Asia.
- Baking supplies
- Don’t expect your apartment to have an oven. However, if you are lucky enough to have access to an oven and you plan on doing some baking bring baking supplies with you, i.e. baking powder, cream of tartar, etc.
