Taiwan Trip Part 2

Actually i wanted to go to Rao He Night Market after my Wu Fen Pu... But there is no time (remember to go there next time i visit Taiwan).....

Day 3

My colleagues tell mi that the cup noodle in Taiwan is veri nice.... Cos they got meat in it.... Meat!!! real pieces of meat!!! So, i decided to try.... They recommended the brand "yi du zang"... Pork ribs one.... So on my second day night, we went to the 7-11 to buy.... But i didn't see the porks ribs one.... There are beef, pork and those fat meat.... So i choose the pork... We also buy papaya milk shake (in a carton) and yakult... The Yakult there cheaper den Singapore..... I tink there 1 packet (5 Yakult??) cost ard $1+ to $2??? While Singapore cost $2.70.... So my mum buy... She say put in the hotel... Can drink to help digestion......

Did i mention that the breakfast sucks there???? Oh well..... Therefore for day 3 breakfast, i decided to eat my cup noodle with papaya milk shake instead of eating the hotel breakfast..... The cup noodle isn't really that fantastic...... Maybe the pork ribs one is beta....

After breakfast, we proceed to Ji Long Miao Kou for our lunch.... We took a cab to Taipei Main Station, then from there, we took a train to Ji Long... It took abt 40mins.... When we reached there, we asked ppl for directions...... We walked abt 10 mins to Miao Kou... Ji Long Miao Kou is a food street... While we were walking there, i saw 4 eagles flying near the sea... (catching fish???)

Finally, we reached Miao Kou..... As we walked along the street, we saw stalls selling seafood, noodles, etc..... We bought a bbq cuttlefish and squid... The cuttlefish veri nice... Cos they got put some sweet sauce.... The squid so-so onli..... We decided to eat the "lu rou fan" with pig's legs, eggs, intestines and beancurd.... The rice with the sauce veri nice... Their rice diff from us.... Veri tasty.... Actually i wanted to tried their butter crab... But too bad it wasn't opened then.... We were eating half-way (almost finish) when it started to rain.... We grab our things and ran indoors.... The rain stopped after a few minutes.... But we didn't continue eating... We procced back to the train station for our next stop....

Niu Fen... We took a bus from Ji Long to Niu Fen... It took ard 45mins.... Niu Fen is up in the mountain.... So the bus went up and up.... We can see the mist.... I believe is because there is a typoon "Long Wang" coming.... It is say there the typoon will reached taiwan northern part den cross over to China that night.... So the weather is veri cooling and looks like it it going to rain anytime....

Niu Fen is also a street, with shop facing each other and all the way up den down.... The scenery is veri beautiful, breathtaking.... The wind is realli big.... And the mist, like i can touch them... I shopped around for things to buy for my colleagues... I finally settle down to some glass cute little pigs,monkey and owls figure..... I also bought a packet of plum jelly "mei zi dong" for them..... (Now regret there should have buy more) We also try their famous yam ball.... I dun really like it... They put the yam ball, green beans, red beans together and put some ice with soup.... The yam ball taste like our traditional "tang yuan"..... Inside nothing de.. that type our grandmother makes......

Next, we took the bus down to Rui Fang train station, ard 15mins.... den from Rui Fang train station to Taipei Main station... Den we took the mrt to Taipei City Hall.... To look at the Taipei 101... (Oh... did i tell u that my uncle join in on the day 3... He say he want to look at the Taipei 101 at night.. cos veri nice... (-_-)" ) So we proceed there and took some photos (will upload some pic when i collect my photos from the shop)...

After that, we took the mrt to Dan Shui.... The ppl there even queeue while waiting for the train to arrive (unlike singapore, the aunties keep on squeezing)..... But on day 2, a taiwanese step on my shoe from behind... den cost mi to almost fell down... She didn't even say sorry and walk away.... i was like #$#Q%#@^.....

In the mrt, we ask a lady for direction to fisherman's warfer from the mrt station..... The lady staying at Dan Shui, so she say will take us to the bus stop... My mum want to eat dinner first before going there... So we ask her at Dan Shui Lao Jie where got things to eat.... She recommended a seafood restaurant and according to her, their crab is veri famous and the price quite reasonable.... So, when we reached there, we proceed to find the place.... Which is veri near....

We ordered the famous crab, 2 types of clams and a fried fish.... The crab is veri veri nice.... I think the fried it first, den cook with eggs and some vegetables...... The other dishes so-so.....
The meal cost abt $60 in S$!!!!! I thought it will be cheaper there????

Den we walked ard but the shop is closing..... It is onli 9pm.....(maybe it is because of the typhoon... Cos Dan Shui is near to the sea...) I bought 1 packet of "tie dan", metal eggs???? lol.... I like it... It looks like "pi dan", black black one... And quite hard....

My mum decided not to go to the fisherman's warfer as it is quite late le and we need to take a bus there... troublesome juz to take some photos.... And the lady juz now asked us to go off early as the typhoon is coming and it also looks like raining.....

Actually we are already tired from all the walking... But i still want to go to Shi Lin Night Market... Since this is our last night there.... My uncle decided to return to the hotel first while my mum and i went to Shi Lin..... When we reached Shi Lin, it began to rain after awhile and all the small stalls closed.... Haiz..... Planning to buy some accessories, clothes or shoes... Cos still got money left...... But i onli manage to buy 1 top as my mum say she is veri tired le... wan to go back.... So i stopped to buy the Hao Da Da chicken (still cannot forget it) and to the San Xiong Di dessert stall to rest..... I ordered our favourite, yam, Lian Zi and beancurd......

As i walked pass a shoe stall, i stopped to take a look... Cos they are having sales at NT$100 for a pair.... I try 1 and looks not bad.... So i buy it... Onli left the display set but NT$100 onli.... Ok lah.... After that, my mum is grumbling... So we took a cab back to the hotel.....
