In Taiwan everything's loaded with sugar (hence why everyone has such crappy teeth I reckon), so excercise is imperative. I'm managed to keep a stable weight since arriving here so I'm doing something right. Mind you, it's not like I'm chugging Milo all day... balance is out with veggies and a balanced lunch and dinner and you should be right.

Apart from the milk powder the rest is stuff I've never seen back in Australia so I'm not sure where they are sourcing it. @ausgeoff <blockquote>Current online prices Downunder (Melbourne 18/11/10): Grain-fed rib-eye… $69-50 per kg. (top quality/top price) Premium scotch fillet… $46-65 per kg. (lower quality/lowest price) T-bone steak fillet in… $33-30 per kg. (top quality/high price) And even yer old Aussie favourite — boned leg of lamb…$17-50 per kg.</blockquote> I used to buy nice cubed beef for cooking at $6-$7 a kg at Victoria Market. I really miss cooking my own big meals sometimes. Hey Mrigakshi,

I don't have a sink to justify the purchase :). On a sidenote I did stumble across Nestle's <a href="http://www.milo.com.tw/" rel="nofollow">Milo Taiwan site</a> linked from Nestle's global website, only to discover it's been hacked. Slightly amusing given it's probably been like that for months... No idea I haven’t tasted it yet… I don’t have a sink to justify the purchase :) .
