Taiwan Trip (Taipei) Day 9

Nua day! Why? Simply too lazy to plan to go where, and nothing much to go either... We went to the nearby 85 °C Bakery Cafe at Ximending to have our dessert! 


The cakes we ordered! Everything looks so good and affordable! The cakes were real soft. Even the forks also like ke unique. LOL. The milk tea also taste equally good as well! Worth to go!




Enlarged view ~ Woooooo! Nom Nom!


Went to this book store at ximending! wen jiu book store I think, kinda forgot the name. Its located at one metro exit, just beside watson! The stationeries DAM CUTE and CHEAP TOO. Especially the cards~~~ so cuteeeeee, each card is about $1-4 SGD. LOL. 

Had KFC for lunch! Different menu from Singapore.



I think we ordered this burger with peanut sauce and hashbrown. Not bad~


Their sweet potato and popcorn chicken were placed in a basket instead! No chili sauce, taste plain~~ :(

After lunch, we went to Carrefourr to kill time, located along Guilin Road. 


Look at these HUGE watermelon! Freaking heavy! 




Bought some bread for tomorrow breakfast! Look at all these, so big and affordable!

What about our dinner? Ximending again of course. 




We ordered ah zong mian xian again since its really DELICIOUS. Also, we went to Prince Cheese Potato and ordered another flavour, hawillian (not very nice.... original is still the best).

Taiwan Trip (Taipe) Day 5

Our last day in Taiwan (according to our itinerary)... So we went to Taipei Main Station to buy those tai yang bing and feng li su from 李儀餅店! I love the milky tai yang bing! Recommend to get it, and get more too! Also, we went to the atas shopping mall to have our atas lunch. Food taste is quite nice too!





We went back to Ximending to do a last minute shopping! As typhoon is coming, the wind is really strong, my hair went all over the place! 





Went to have our dessert, shaved ice! 幸春三兄妹冰品店 It recommended in other blogs that is nice, to be honest, its so-so only, I would prefer the Mango Shaved Ice Dessert Store, which is few shops away! Well, the serving is bigger, top up few dollars more, but the taste and flavour is much nicerrrrr. 

Went to shop in Ximending for the "last round", and bought boxes and boxes of masks!! THE MASKS REALLY DAM CHEAP. ONE BOX THERE COST ABOUT SGD$4?!?!?!?!? Mass buy! :)))) After shopping, we walked back to our hotel to pack up our luggage and travel towards the airport! For the sake of saving money, we took metro to Taipei Main Station again, with our 17kg weight of luggage, carried there.... At first we wanted to take the public bus to airport, but we met the same merz uncle (from day 1), who offered us 450NTD instead of 900NTD (market price). However, halfway through the journey, sidi parents whatsapp her that our flight was FREAKING CANCELLED because of typhoon. & they have kind enough to help us to book the EARLIEST flight which is on the 12 Aug, (5 days later). Screw Scoot man!!!! BECAUSE THEY FREAKING SENT US AN EMAIL UNDER THE "PROMOTION" SECTION IN GMAIL - which OBVIOUSLY we won't look into it! :( So poor thing, we had to travel back to Ximending AGAIN.

I don't know is it good or bad, we didn't scream or whatsoever, just being calm, and go back to ximending. But the amount of money we have is just 2000NTD++ within the 3 of us. We went back to dreamhouse hotel but there were no vacancies left.. Fortunately, they had this -link- hotel, "holiday inn" hotel, few streets away... BUT the hotel there is rather worst! The toilet stink. Room slightly smaller since its for 2 persons. BUT AT LEAST WE ARE SAVED IN TAIWAN, SORT OF READY OF TYPHOON. LOL.




After settling down our baggages, we went to the convenient store to pack our food for the next few days. Instant noodles, biscuits, drinks, Tibits - our favourite Lays seaweed flavour. 

-pathetic us-

Well, because we can't celebrate SG50. (Not like we did celebrate normal national day previously, but just, well, unlucky I guess. But, blessing in disguise, at least we are still okay! 



Being so crazy in hotel, we sang NDP songs! LOL. Wanted to upload the funny videos here, but I need to resize it first.......

WE ARE STILL SAFE AND HAVING FUN THERE!

Taiwan Trip (Taipei) Day 3

Due to rainy weather for the next few days, so we decided to change our itinerary instead, to go to LeoFoo Village today!!!!!!!!! Initially we wanted to take public bus to the place, but it was way long queue and crowded so we decided to take a private van to our destination (actually also tio keng by them too LOL). The journey was about 1.5 hours, so we slept our way through! :) 







Thank god, the weather is rather sunny! Selfies and selfies to go! 


Inside the theme park, there's like a junction, and few routes to explore. So we went to the "animal farm". (Stink smell) 




I don't know what's this called, flamingo is it? Whatever, IT'S DAM NOISY. KEEP GUA GUA GUA. LOL. Like a proud only. 














Omg, we saw this meh meh !!! So cute, able to feed them too, but they JUST IGNORED US. & their shits are everywhere. (Faints). 









 HAHAHHA WE SAW THIS. HE DAM BOSS I SWEAR. But he really understands human language, like we were laughing at him, and he just cross his arms and looked at us. He rolled around too! OHH, he yawned too (took a snapchat). JOKE.






There's always a place for white tiger! Wooooo. 



















We took the shuttle bus and train to enter the animal zoo, full of all sort of animals. Unfortunately, it started to rain heavily, so the train track was so wet till the train breakdown, so we stucked there for awhile. 




Time to ride the roller coaster! It's been 2 years since I last ride one.








(First ride) This is scary! It's 360 degree! & dam annoying is that it moves dam freaking slow, so its even more scary. LOL. We almost had a heart attack! 



(Second ride) Another 360 degree ride. This is moving fast. Headache. I just kept laughing non-stop. LOL. 


Wanted to take this ride but the queue was rather long. 


I think its quite amazing that they put water mist spray at the queue area! Refreshing! 


Woahhhhhh. It moves from slow 180, then suddenly so fast 360, my heart and head literally stop for a second. LOL.





Bento lunch! 200NTD. Food wise soso only. Aside from these, they have some cafes too but quite expensive. 


Selfies! 




 Lol to this monkey-mermaid.




Another photo taking with this stationary boat. 


 Selfieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Xiao shag.


Jacelyn bought this monkey for her roomie. OMG ITS DAM KIAMPA. Hahahahah. Look like huang shang. Joke. 











When you have a new toy, you start to take selfies with it! #tourists #forevertakingphotos


Next stop, all time favourite night market for tourist, Shilin Market! 



First floor is filled of all these gaming stores. To be honest, it's not worth the price, but just for fun and laughter as a tourist, yeah, we should try one!




If you hit certain number of balloons, you get to choose which toys you want. Of course, the size of the toys determine the amount of balloons. 

 

Gigantic chip is EVERYWHERE. We wanted this but it's too difficult to get it.




Most epic moment. Sidi first throw, the mini orange ball STUCK there. LOL. & I freaking snapchat it. HAHAHHAS SO FUNNY. 

 



Eventually, Jacelyn played and won little tigger! Say helloooo! Look at the retarded Sidi. HAHHAHA.


Basement level is filled with food! 


 


Da chang xiao chang, here we go! Nom nom! Guess whose the photographer? Howard, stayed in Taiwan, came to visit us. Lol. To be happy or sad, well...



Oyster cake?? Sauce quite nice! Cheap! But filled with people! 









Bacon with spring onions! TOO MUCH SPRING ONIONS, we had to remove these spring onions.... Aside from that, the sauce and bacon is awesomeeeee. 



Coffin bread! NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. 


I forgot what soup is this, but not bad too. 



Thirsty? Matcha milk tea here we go! NICE MAN. 


Hungry? Craving for dessert (forever).


Look at the gigantic chocolate fondue. SO TEMPTED. 

 

Hi fish, I'm gona eat you!





 Totally satisfied. Matchaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa loves~





Selfies!!! Seriously... Howard facebomb only. No like no like. LOL. 

 

Hi doggy! Actually shilin night market also do sell clothes, but we just window shopped!


Cab back to Ximending (Howard paid) for thissssss. Long queue but totally worth it! It's way nicer than Singapore shilin shop. 






NICEEEE. ALL SHOULD TRIED IT PLEASE. 


Monkey also want to eat, but NAHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

THATS ALL FOR TODAY.
