hehe sorry guys for the delay. Here is my Day 3 schedule in Taipei as promised!...
As usual, we woke up at around 9 something and left the hotel at 10..We proceeded to DingTaiFeng 鼎泰丰 to try out the infamous Xiao Long Bao there! We went to the First Ever shop..They have branches in Singapore and HongKong too..but according to my sister, the taipei shop is the best among all!
The Infamous Xiao Long Bao..actually my opinion is that its quite good, but i think the Chinese restaurant in JW Marriot have the same standard as the Xiao Long Bao here..maybe its not hot enough for me
The clear chicken soup...this chicken soup is quite good! Should order this when you are there, recommended by my sister's boss
The Bah Chang..the rice is very soft...nice too!
After DingTaiFeng, we went to visit the C.K.S memorial Hall... As it is along the way to our next destionation, WuFenPu..a famous shopping district!
Weather isn' t very good..
We saw some of the demonstrators against the Taiwan President Chen Shui Bian there, all wearing red colour t shirt.
The LRT station is very nice..theres painting along the corridor...why can't our LRT station be like that? i wonder..
We got to Wu Fen Pu at around 12pm..its still early and the shop doesnt open til its around 1pm so what else can we do? EAT again! We saw this shop selling 鲁肉饭 so we proceeded to having our lunch before we start our shopping spree!!! hehe...Saw many of the branches already in Taipei, so we decided to give it a try!
Name of the shop
Highly recommended...
This pork stick is heavenly..i realised that we are so deprived of pork in Malaysia!
After curing our stomach, its almost time! We go ahead with our crazy shopping trip at 1pm! WuFenPu is actually a wholesaler shopping districts, that is why the stuff here is really CHEAP! But please don't come on Monday because those shopkeepers will come on Monday to get their supply and the shops will not entertaint individual customers on Monday. The clothes there are mostly Korean/Japanese style, i wanted to buy some working clothes but did not manage to find it there.
After walking few hours, we decided to take a rest and have a drink ...its quite hard to find a cafe here..all shops are selling clothes or accessories..took us quite a while...
Enjoying the drinks..
local food again..甜不辣
We were there til about 7pm i think...so exhausted okay!!!haha...but felt satisfied lah..
We decided to go back and have dinner at Xi Meng Ding as our hotel is there as well...need to put down the stuff that we bought...
And........We had Mcdonald's for dinner....hehe...
Wang Li Hom..!yummy! wahaha...shh..my sis will kill me!
Special burger there!..its something like Rice burger.. chicken one is better than the prawn one..
How it looks inside...
After dinner, we walked around xiMengDing.. (YET AGAIN)..ask my baby sis! We were so tired..went back to the hotel at around 9something....
TO BE CONTINUED - Second Last Day ! :(
MY NEW TEMPLATE
After looking at the boring blogger template for so long, i have decided to do something about it. Started surfing online to look for my new template! found this at www.blogskins.com. There are so many nice blog templates there!
Do you guys like it? Let me know okay?
Its a raining day today, wanted to go to MATTA fair but... i always hate raining days...it spoilt my mood for sure...listened to Josh Groban justnow...his voice is so amazing! regret i only get to know him recently...highly recommended! i felt as if i heard angel singing...Lalala..........
The next day, we woke up feeling fresh and ready to explore the city. The breakfast provided by the hotel is very basic, therefore we chose to head out straight for local breakfast, which is the famous YongHe soyabean 永和豆浆。
Me and my sis at LRT station
The shop is quite close to the LRT station. After we arrived at Dingxi station 顶溪站，we proceeded to looking for the shop. After walking for merely 10mins, we managed to locate the shop. Maybe because its a Monday morning, there isn't many customers in the shop. We ordered a mixture of food there, but most importantly, one shouldn't miss its famous soya bean and yau char kuai.
The soya bean is very thick, those that full of yellow beans smell...i love it but my sister don't really fancy it :P
The yau char kuai is really thin n crispy, it is indeed a very nice combination to have for your breakfast. Miss that!!!
Some other food on offer there..i like the one with vege inside..!
After a full and fulfilling breakfast, we proceed to Jiufen九份, a fairly famous tourist spot. It is a town on a mountain. It has very nice scenery.
Jiufen is also very famous for its narrow street selling various local foods.
Famous pineapple and sun 太阳biscuits..love it!
Cute Jelly and Squid sausage...
nice desserts...
Nice and Super big fishball
Overall, i personally think its worth going to JiuFen, at least i enjoyed myself there. However the whole journey from Taipei to JiuFen takes about 1.5 hours by bus one way..
After JiuFen, we went to Shi Lin Market 士林夜市 although we weren't really hungry yet! :P Shi Lin Market is also another tourist spot, a MUST GO to taste all the famous local food!
Shi Lin Market
Famous chicken chop, look at the Q..
One of the many stalls selling fried oyster with egg, O Jian!
Mango Ice...highly recommended, it will melt immediately you put in your mouth! Saliva dropping again!
Taiwan sausages!
At first i thought that Shi Lin Market only sells food, but who knows there's so many shop around the market selling clothes, accessories etc.
One of the very nicely decorated shoe shop we went to. Nice right!
Hello Kitty organizers!
After walking around the market, we felt exhausted and went back to the hotel...TO BE CONTINUED.....
