Back From Taiwan~

Hey.... I'm back.... Actually Sunday night reached le... Den yesterday not feeling well.... Headach and fever... Tink cos of the weather... Singapore is really hot and humid.... In Taiwan although the sun is hot... But not humid.. so no sweat...

For the first day, we took Jetstar Asia, our flight was delayed for 3hrs!!!! From 12.40pm to 3.40pm....So we shopped ard Changi Airport....

Jetstar Asia seats are soooo squeezy..... The seat can onli go down by a bit...... 4hr plus flight.... Veri hard to sleep... den no entertainment like movie.... Veri boring.... The flight is not full... so some ppl go to the empty seats and lie down.... Three seats by one side... So they take up the handle and lie down....

I tried too.... But cannot... So i sleep sitting up.... Onli can sleep for 1hr.... When i wake up, i look around, eat some thing (Jetstar foods are soooo expensive.... 1 meal cost about $10 including drinks.... They even charge for mineral water at $2)... Luckily my uncle bring some bao to eat on board......

Finally.... We reached Taiwan!!!!!

My mum and mi went straight to the hotel, Imperial Hotel (it is near to Shi Lin night market :) ), to check in...... By then, it is already 10.30pm.... We decided to take a cab to Shi Lin for our dinner..... The cab fee is onli NT$100 (S$5.18).... Shi Lin is a shopping and food paradise!!!! We went into a shop which have some racks seeling clothes at NT$100!!!! I bought some clothes from there.... We saw some familar brand like Hang Ten, Bossini, Giodano, Samuel & Kevin, etc..... They are so exp there..... I tink onli Hang Ten is ok.... I saw the disney land t-shirt from Giodano, Singapore selling ard $16??? There selling for $20+.....

They also have some stall in the middle of the road.... When police come, they will pack up and run into the small alley... Veri funny.... Den when the police went away, they came back again.... But one thing veri irritating is that the motor bikes and bicycles... We need to look out for them....

The shoes there also not bad.... from NT$190 (S$9.84)... Mostly selling at NT$390 (S$20.20).... I tried the Hao Da Da Chicken..... Similar to the Shi Lin chicken in Singapore... Except theirs are much much more nicer..... Eat it while hot..... cos when it is cold, it becomes dry...Not so nice le... When it is hot, the chicken are veri juicy.... And veri veri big.... They give you one big piece... Never cut.... If i never remember wrongly, it cost abt NT$45 (S$2.33) cheaper den Singapore $3.....

Den i also try the San Siong Di, it is a dessert store.... I try the beancurd and black pearl... My mum try beancurd and lian zi.... Their beancurd is different from us... It taste a bit like almond... Veri tasty..... I saw Tian Bu La and try cos alot of ppl say that it is nice... But it is ok for mi.....

After shopping for awhile, we decided to go back to hotel.....

Second day, we wake up at 8am..... Went for breakfast at the hotel.... The breakfast sucks!!!!! There are scrambled eggs, sauages, fried noodles, dim sum, etc......

Next, we took the mrt to Xi Men Ding... From our hotel to the mrt, it took more den 20mins of walking!!!! The mrt is quite cheap.... From Minquan West Road to Xi Men Ding, NT$20 (S$1.03).... We reached ard 11.15pm... The shop are not fully open yet.... so nothing much to see.... And the things there are more expensive den Shi Lin.... So we decided to look for the famous Ah Zong Mian Xian....... When we are giving up, we finally saw it...... People are standing outside of the shop eating!! (there are not tables or chairs there) So, we bought a bowl and share.... It is not bad.... There are pig intestine inside.... nice.....

After that, we proceed to Taipei City Hall, where the Taipei 101 is..... Juz nice, there is a shopping centre opening.... So many people!! (muz be taking off to shop) It is something like Takashimaya.... Selling branded stuffs......(Not for mi) We walk ard and went to our next stop, Wu Fen Pu!!!! A wholesale place (and shopping paradise!!!)

It is onli 2 stop away from Taipei City Hall... When we reached, it is onli 1.30pm...(it opens at 1pm) We stopped at Hou Shan Pi which is the mrt station for Wu Fen Pu.......

Wu Fen Pu is veri big, you need to go inside the alley..... There is a rack outside most of the shop, the racks are selling mostly at NT$100 (S$5.18) so cheap!!!! (dunno whether it is because they are having season change sales??? from summer to autum) I also bought some clothes from there... You can also go inside the shop to have a look... It is more expensive... But still ok the price..... I onli look at the rack.. cos it is veri ma fan to go inside the store... But as you walk, you will notice the shops are selling similar stuff... Too bad my mum cannot walk for long..... So we stop for some dessert, again, i saw the San Siong Di dessert store, this time i try the cold yam soup... Wow.... The yam there taste different from Singapore... Veri Veri nice.....

After dessert, my mum say go le...... (the clothes there dun suit her...) Haiz... Goodbye Wu Fen Pu... I WILL BE BACK!!!

Next stop, again Taipei City Hall.... Cos my auntie ask my mum to buy some Ta Yang Bing for her... She even gave us the address... It is located at a shopping centre basement..... After buying the things... We went back to Xi Men Ding and have another round of Ah Zong Mian Xian... :)

The shop are fully open now.... So we walk around... Actually Xi Men Ding nothing much..... But i bought 1 sunglass... We bargain from NT$390 to $250...... Actually i tink can be cheaper one... But never mind lor....

For dinner, we went to Shi Lin to buy the Hao Da Da Chicken (can't forget it), fried oyster and smelly beancurd!! (actually not that smelly lah) back to the hotel and eat..... Cos my mum tired le....

The Hao Da Da chicken bring to hotel not nice le...... Cold le.... Haiz... But the fried oyster is nice... different from Singapore, they got put a kind of sauce.... veri nice....

End of Day Two..... Continue tmr.......
