3rd day in taipei

our 3rd day in taipei, 7th day in taiwan. for the past six days, we have been waking up early and going out the whole day, and come back late at night. so for our 3rd day in taipei, we decide to sleep as much as we can and wake up late. but i still wake up at around 8 plus in the morning, cos used to it already. :p

zhenhong and kc woke up slightly later. i went to da bao some food from 永合豆浆 for our breakfast. the 永合豆浆 is very near, just across the street from our hotel. that's why i love 西门町. food and shopping no need to worry. very very convenient.

we watched nba while eating breakfast. really quite shiok to eat the yummy breakfast at the sofa, relaxing, watching tv. this is the ideal holiday man. btw if you all are wondering why i went to buy breakfast, actually east dragon hotel got provide breakfast, but their breakfast a bit cmi. only give us one egg, 2 small cream buns, one coffee/tea, and one fruit juice. yucks! at least toong mao hotel got buffet spread.

in the afternoon then we went out. our first place for the day is 中山站, to do a bit of shopping and find the famous 肥前屋 for their well-known yummy unagi don, BUT SADLY, the shop is closed on mondays!!! wah lao my tour book nv say that 肥前屋 is closed on mondays lor! wassup man. instead we went to another restaurant which is just beside 肥前屋, and that restaurant sell noodles, which is also quite nice!

after that we go another famous shop recommended by my tour book, which is "piece of cake". the swiss rolls that they sell are the number 1 swiss roll in the whole taiwan. wow so li hai ah. so must go and try. haha.


and they dun come cheap. one piece of cake, plus a drink, cost NT180!!! which is around 9 sing! damn expensive.


next we went to 淡水. 淡水 is another place that you must go if you visit taipei, and if you going as a couple, can go to 渔人码头 to take a look at the lovers' bridge. this time i go the weather is good, with the sun, blue sky and beautiful clouds. that time i went with darling is gloomy sky. how i wish darling is with me right now, admiring the beautiful bridge in awesome weather. :(






our final destination is 士林夜市! i think this place needs no introduction. it is simply the biggest and most happening night market in taiwan. if you go taipei and nv go 士林夜市, might as well go and die.

zhenhong very very gian to go and try the 豪大炸鸡排. hahahaha. and pls dun order the 大饼包小饼. i think is kinda over-rated, and is not that nice at all. i stupid stupid go buy 3, cos if buy 3 will be more worth it if you just buy 1. and the 4 of us just eat 1 and dun feel like eating the second one.


the delicious and famous food there is too many to list, if you want to find out more can go youtube search for 食尚玩家. i noe alot of nice places and delicious food in taiwan by watching that variety show. haha. the hosts are quite funny, and got one female host called 莎莎, very cute and quite chio.

and we ended our visit of 士林夜市 with a BANG!!!


back to the army days. haha. is real M16! but of course is not live rounds lah. is metal balls, and we have to shoot down the orange ping pong balls.

all right and that wraps up day 7 of the taiwan trip, and the next post will be my finale post of the whole taiwan trip with kc and zhenhong. :)
