trip in Taiwan

yeaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!! back in Singapore.

anyway the stay in Taiwan was fantastic!
i think 4 days is just enough.

took JetStar.
first time taking some Budget carrier =/
small and a little squeezy..
feel uncomfortable like i'm squeezed.
i think it's just my mentality.

first 2 days stayed at Sheraton Hotel.
this 5 star hotel is fabulous! the bed, the toilet and whatever is just great!
but the next 2 days stayed at some 3 star hotel.
not that good but at least it met our needs.

the weather is just like Singapore June weather.
freaking HOT!
about 30 degrees celcius even at night!

ok.. i will only blog about the bestest things i've seen or experience there.

1st day:
Shilin Market - night market that sells lots of fooooood.
the fried chicken is great. it's like our PasaMalam. the chicken is big! but theirs is hot as they'd just fried. it's juicy and the flour isn't very thick either. our PasaMalam chicken isn't hot or juicy and the chicken they fried seems like it's been put there for days..
there are a lot of clothes, bags, shades, sold nearby the Shilin Market. just like our Bugis street. but the price is so much cheaper. there are some little food stalls too.

also, there are interesting games at the night market we don't see at our PasaMalam. like catching fish, some MahJong games, etc.. i like the fish game!!! only if our PasaMalam have it then it'll be great! i will definitely play it.

that blue stall is the famous fried chicken! there's a long queue at the stall.

2nd day:
ate at some shop house. the dumpling and noodles are delicious. i like the dumpling. it's big and the pork in it is tasty!
took their train to some museum and to the place where JayChou took that "不能说的秘密".
bought the famous 阿婆铁蛋. the egg is chewy. the outer layer of the egg is tough and hard to chew.
ate 冰糖葫芦. i like it! it's sweet =]

the dumpling!

a usual street of Taipei

the silleoutte of Taipei 101

冰糖葫芦

3rd day:
went to a temple.
then to the 自由广场.
ate lunch at the first 鼎泰蘴 shop before there were many outlets over the world.
took a free shuttle bus to the Taipei 101.
ate dinner at a restaurant. quite expensive. 1500 Taiwan dollar per meal which include soup, maincourse, dessert, fruits, drinks. everything is just very very tasty and i think it's worth it.

4th day:

walked around the place we stayed.

went to their wet market.

i think that it is a bit disgusting.

a stall selling clothes could be right beside to a stall selling raw fish and meat.

walked at their underground shopping malls.

i think our CityHall, CityLink is so much better.

the quality of the goods doesn't really match with the price.

went to the airport in the evening.

bought the 太阳饼 which my family love.

the brand is 新东洋.

Home Sweet Home! =]
