Taiwan 14th to 18th Dec - Day 2

Let's start DAY 2!!!!!

After a superb 1st day at Taiwan, Me and My Love were dead tired so we decided that we should rest early so that we can wake up early the next day to enjoy our trip more! BUT!!!!! we managed to surprise even ourselves, we woke up at 12pm LOL!!! Its was like half a day gone HAHAHA and after we were prepared to go out its alr nearing 2pm! We really took out time :)

We were super hungry so we decided to go for the famous Ah Zong Mian Xian 阿宗面线, even though its abt 2 in the afternoon the place was still packed with locals and tourists like us!

Took a close up shot! this guy with the green bowl in 1 hand is super skilled, he was like moving super fast!!!!
Ya!! I love Mee Sua!!!
My Love really loved the Mee Sua

After having the delicious Ah Zong Mian Xian, We moved off to our next location.

I was reading this travel guide regarding Taipei and saw this particular mall which looks really interesting, its was said to be a Japanese Theme Mall called Breeze Centre 微风广场. So I decided to bring My Love our to the mall as she is Japanese Fanatic :) Its really near the station called Zhong Xiao Fu Xing 忠孝复兴

On our way there we saw this place HAHAHA
Didn't knew My Love owns a clinic in Taiwan!!!!
So we reached the Breeze Centre Mall and whats the 1st thing we did when we reached??
We took a coffee break HAHAHA at the Agnes' B Cafe, I didn't knew Agnes' B had cafes.
Agnes B Cafe!!! and the served superb chocolates!
A Vanilla Cheescake!
This Ham and Cheese Sandwich is F*****G GOOD!
Onward to shopping!!!!!!!!
This mall wasn't as Japanese as I thought it would be but its still a really nice place! Its a 8 Lvl building totally filled with boutique Outlets and I think its the winter season as no matter where we went, there are sales going on.

We bought lots of stuffs, from shoes to books to branded bags etc
Here some pics

Camwhoring 1
Camwhoring 2
My Love that introduced me to Camwhoring!
Look at her Samantha Vega Victory Pose!!
ML: Am I Pretty?  Me: Yes (Roll eyes), just kidding :) 

The Night came really fast during winter in Taiwan, It will start to darken at abt 5.30pm.
At 1st we were shocked when we stepped out of the mall and the sky was so dark and we asked each other did we shopped for such a long time and when I checked my watch its was abt 7.30pm. We were both famished so we decided we should go for dinner and where else to go den the famous Hello Kitty Theme Restaurant :)

All this are cakes!

Adorable?
So this is how the Hello Kitty Restaurant works besides they served course meals, all you need to choose is the salad, cold dish, main and drinks there rest will be set by the restaurant.
What we see when we stepped in 
The salad, notice everything has a hello kitty in it.
Hello Kitty Bread hahah took me awhile before I decide to eat .
Foie Gras!
My Love ordered the Bake Rice, Notice the Hello Kitty Carrot hiding over there?
Mine will be Carbonara
Dessert!!!
Pink Straw LOL

We called this Forever alone shot
Forever alone shot 2
After dinner we went back to the hotel to put down out stuff before we head out to our next destination.
Don't you people feel that you are even more busy during a holiday den a normal working day HAHAHA.
Our Next Destination is Shi Da Night Market! 师大夜市.

Saw this band singing in the middle of Ximending and they are good!!!
The moment we stepped in the night market, we eat! My Love asked me to act cool so I tried my best
Act cool shot 2
Saw this stall selling beancurd!
This is good! even though its winter, a bowl of cold beancurd still hits the spot.
I bought another drink back to the hotel its bailey and red bean soup, it may sound weird but it really tastes super good and its abt 35 NT ($1.40).
We shopped until around 1030pm at the Night Market and we decided we should head back and rest!
On our way back to the hotel My Love was craving for some bites so we bought these!
My Love bought some Deep Fried Mushrooms

Me? Hotdogs :)
Afterwards we went back to the hotel to checked our victory trophies for today! and enjoy all the delicious food we bought HAHAHA!!

More Updates be coming :)

Taiwan 14th to 18th Dec - Day 1

After about 10 years, I FINALLY WENT FOR A TRIP TO TAIWAN AGAIN!!!
This time with the love of my life Soh Xinyi Cyndi!!!!
Its the 1st time I'm going oversea with someone else rather den my parents so you all must know the heart racing feelings and I'm suppose to plan for the trip which I did but there are still lots of room for improvements.

We took FlyScoot and I must say we did get a cheap deal compare to SIA but because its during the school holidays it ain't the cheapest. We paid about 450 per pax for tickets but according to my love if we fly by SIA it will cost ard 800 to 900? so we saved abt 50%.

The flight was a midnight flight on 14th Dec 0055hrs, so when we reached the airport we're like already half dead.The Flight was abt 4hrs and 10min so we reached time at abt 6am due to some technical difficulties as the engine of the plane wouldn't start. In my mind I was like WTF and all the plane disastrous event kept popping out in my mind, of course I didn't tell my love abt it. I tried my very best to remain calm, don't know did she see through my lousy acting LOL!

So we reached Taiwan, as our hotel is in the Famous Ximending西门町 which is like an hour's journey from the airport we need to take the coach service from the airport. I highly recommend the GuoGuang Coach Service国光客运,Its abt 125 NT per pax ($5.20) and the bus is quite frequent abt 15 to 20 min interval.
but if you all will be reaching taiwan like in the afternoon I will recommend the flygo coach service 飞狗客运( I am not so sure abt the chinese characters.) because its will stop right in Ximending. After the coach ride, we transit at taipei main station MRT (台北车站捷运) fee is abt 20 NT ($0.85) its just one stop away, take the blue line to yong ning station (永宁/永寧).

The Hotel we booked is called inhouse hotel or (悅酒店), what I can see more the staffs are nice, super good service, the rooms are super pretty, room size is still alright, a bar, free WIFI!!!! and the most importantly the hotel allows you to check in anytime not like some hotel or majority of the hotels which only lets you check in after 12pm. We are so excited abt our room and we forgotten to  take any pictures of the room LOL!

We reached the hotel at ard 930, checked in, took some breakfast and we couldn't take it anymore and so we went to sleep HAHAHA, we woke up at around 2pm and we were really hungry so the 1st stop was to eat :)

We reached!!! Super Tired!
Loh Bak Peng!!!! 卤肉饭

Or Wah Jian!!! Oyster Pancake! My Love super love this

How can this be left out! Singapore's famous take a pic with the food!
After a satisfactory lunch we continue our shopping!!!!
This is what we see when we stepped out of the hotel!!!

Some Camwhoring! My love say I know how to pose more now!

How can we not shop for STAY REAL in Taiwan!

Just me goofing around in front of  the hotel!

Me and My Love got this little habit! We like to retreat back to our hotel to put down our stuffs and take a short break before we head off to the next destination! Shilin Night Market 士林夜市!

On our way to the train station

A super good singer!


This kid was playing with a bubble but we didn't manage to capture it in time.
Trying to act cool!!
She is also but I think she is doing a better job!
Some  more camwhoring!
The Famous Xilin Night Market 士林夜市
Not asking you to look at the girl! but this drink is super good, just really good milk with pearl 45 NT (S$1.80)
We didn't take much photo because we were busy shopping! hahaha no spare hands to take photo!

And we got hungry!

Saw this but didn't try looks suspicious! Sentosa Singapore Cuisine???
We walked for quite awhile as most places were really crowded and we found a small restaurant in some alley!!! But they serve good food and most importantly I finally saw an adult woman who is shorter den My Love LOL!!
Waiting for Food

Waiting for food too!

Corn Soup and some really good salad

Pork Cutlet with Omelette
