The transfer in KUL was nice because the Malaysian airline staff waited for me at the arrival gate, and escorted me to the next departure gate to BKI. Otherwise, I'd be lost in that huge airport because who knows I had to take a tram to the next departure gate.

Food is so so. Take your favorite snacks. Download your favorite movies and shows. Everything else is standard of any international flight you’d expect. Pretty straightforward.

EVA is strict with carry on weight. Had to check in my carry on luggage.

Make sure you enquire and follow bag policies. Short layover, but staff in Taipei was good and got us to our connection on time.
