convenient taiwanese-oriented strip malls and shopping complexes are typically complete with supermarkets and restaurants, thus taiwanese american suburbanites have very little need to visit the older chinatowns. in addition, shops offering imported taiwanese goods allow for young taiwanese expatriates in the united states to keep up with the current trends and popular culture of taiwan. taiwanese americans have also brought with them taiwanese cuisine to the communities they have settled, which, possibly excluding bubble tea, is not generally well known or served outside these aforementioned taiwanese immigrant enclaves.
