Ahem --- you people definitely need a NOODLE DO! Led by the chef, who can walk through T1 with a noodle flag...
This is what I LOVE about FlyerTalk. Four pages of how to find a no-name cafeteria in response to a question about what to do in an airport on a connection. This is possibly my favorite thread ever --- ah, I guess second behind Sooty the amorous guinea pig.

boarding pass while transiting at TPE CKS airport
ok...back to my original topic (and not the noodle) 
I am taking SQ flight from LAX to TPE, and connecting to a TG flight there.
Will I have my TG boarding pass when I check in SQ at LAX? or do I get the TG boarding pass in TPE?
If I don't have TG boarding when I go out of custom at TPE airport, I suppose I have to check in at the TG counter for the boarding pass before I can go through the security again. Am I correct?

My guess is that SQ can through check you in on TG flights if they are both in the same reservation. If you don't have one, I am not sure what you can do - I am not sure if TG or SQ have a transit desk in TPE. Also SQ is in T2 and TG is in T1.
You must have a boarding pass to go into the air side at TPE.

Best Non Chain Food In An Airport
Ciao, ragazzi!
I´m so happy that the ¨ where´s the noodle shop?¨ has become a cult thread. I propose to expand it to what´s the best non-corporate food you´ve found in an airport? Perhaps it should be moved to another venue. Let the games begin.

If I don't have the TG boarding pass, I can always go to TG check-in counter and get one in the departure hall.
Which *A loung can I use at Terminal 1?

Thew lounge of TG is the pitts, it is stinky and small. Go up the stairs to departures and then come hal way back down again and turn left into the corridor. You might be lucky as they are promising to close this and move to a new one.
I will go to HKG either Tuesday or Wednesday this week and will try to find this noodle shop once and for all.
Just to be clear the story so far says it is airside not landside.

OK I got here early and checked it out. There is no noodle shop when you go up the stairs after passport control in T1. There is a great looking lounge you pay $1500 NT to use and there are free showers half way along the corridor to the lounges.
I asked check in and lounge staff and they dont know of any noodle shop.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I just want to make sure I did this right. From check in I went up the stairs to passport control. Turned right to the A gates and China Airlines lounge. Went through security and turned right up the stairs and went all the way to the book shop at the end.
