Then in Formosa most power plugs would be suspicious and should be avoided
I will cross my fingers and trust the infrastructure.

I am not sure I understood what happened.
Did you see smoke coming out from the wall plug? Did you hear any shot noise coming from there? Was the wall plug ok after your adaptor got burned and was still working with other equipment connected? The maintenance had to do something to fix it to make it working again? The smoke was only from your adaptor but not from the wall plug?
If your answers are NO, NO, YES, NO, YES, then I am sorry but the only possible explanation is one of the two below:
1) Your adaptor decided to die right that day (as for humans, death can be sudden and unpredictable)
2) The wall plug is ok, but the power line had a sudden power hit or interruption, which made your adapted to die because of the sharp variation of input tension.
In neither of these two cases, Formosa can be called guilty.
