Thanks to all who send me birthday greeting on my 21st birthday. Xie xie ni meng worz…
Alright.. I shall blog abt my Taiwan trip… Are u ready? Here we go….
13th Feb 2008
We took SQ flight 878 at 12.25pm at Terminal 3. Wooo… The new terminal looks cool but very few restaurants and crowd compared to Terminal 1 and 2. Dear and I had our breakfast at BK before we got onto our flight. I was sooooo nervous when we got onto the plane. Er… coz I really scare that I will have ear ache… I kept chewing gums and swallow saliva in order to reduce the air pressure. Thanks GOD! I have no ear ache during plane takeoff. ;-) We had our lunch on the plane. Both of us choose the oriental set lunch. It include yu sheng , chicken rice, biscuit, bun and Magnolia ice-cream. Overall I find the food was not very nice and I can't finish too.. But dear say nice lei… and hen finish everything… (shhh… fatty boom boom is like that one larz.. oopz!) =p
In the plane....
SQ flight CNY lunch ... (inclusive of yusheng worz...my dear love the smoked salmon in the yusheng!)
We reached Taipei at abt 4.45pm. It was abt 5pm+ after we got our luggage. We wanted to take the Freego express bus from the airport to the hotel but the only bus available was at 6.45pm. Dear didn't want to waste time waiting for the bus so we ended up taking cab to our hotel. The cab fare was standardized at NT1500. I find that it was ex lorz..
It was abt 6.30pm when we reached TS Hotel (near to Ximending) We unpacked some stuffs and then went to Ximending to look for the restaurant by the name of the Modern Toilet. With the guide of flowerpod podder, we got to the restaurant easily. The restaurant was full house thus we were on the waiting list. We went shopping for abt half an hour and when we were back, we got a table! That was our first meal in Taipei. I had Ma La (Spicy) Pork Steamboat and dear had Japanese Beef Steamboat. Both were served in a bowl that looks like Ma Tong. We ordered the set meal thus it comes with a drink, rice and the shitty ice-cream. Yummmy… My Ma La soup was really really spicy… My lips nearly turn into sausage but it was a great meal in such a cool weather.
Is me in XiMenDing!!!
My dear sooooo HAPPY too!!!

After our ‘yummilicous’ dinner, we had a stroll in Ximending area. I got myself a new pair of comfortable shoes for more shopping in the next few days. I also got a hat for myself. Heehee… I look cute with that hat. Isn’t it? :-p
My new shoes and hat after i shop in Ximending for less than 20mins !!!
We took the metro train to Taipei City Hall area to look for clubbing places. And it took us quite sometime to walk from the station to the club ‘Room 18’. We enter the club at abt 10.30pm and there were not many clubbers around. Since it was ladies night, I’ve got free entry and a free drink. As for dear, his entry fee course abt NT 200 and he entitled to 2 drinks. We order a Vodka Sprite, 2 Tequila Shot and a fruit cocktail recommended by the bartender. The bartender taught us a new way to drink Tequila shot. Instead of lick the salt and suck the lemon after we drink the tequila shot, he make a pink cocktail to goes with it. The pick cocktail is a little sour and sweet but it taste really good compared to the usual way we drink the shot. The bartender is really friendly and fun! He chatted with us and I guess he assume that we are those usual clubber that goes clubbing every night. Haha… He even introduce us to his friend pub which is near our hotel. We left the place at abt 12am + and when we wanted to settle the bill for the extra drinks that qwe have ordered, he act blur… *cute* Haha… And there we goes… Free drinks… Hehehe..
Look at this stylo bartender!!!
Tequila shot w/o lemon but special drink made for us by the bartender
Look at the fruits in the alcohol!!! I dunno the name... but is soooooo nice ...
The lovely couple at ROOM 18!!!
When we were back in the hotel, dear couldn’t wait to give me my birthday present. Heeehee… Guess wat he have got for me??? Yes! A DKNY watch!!! So happy… I needed a watch and thanks to him, I got a watch and somemore is BRANDED worz… Heehee… Dear makes me so touched when he tells me the reason of why he buy a watch for me. He tells me that he wants our r/s to work out just like the watch. And he oso knows that I dun bear to spend money on watch that’s why he want to buy a branded one that can last me for long. Thanks so much dear… Pls dun worry that I dun like the watch. Mayb my expression didn’t shows that I really love it, but I want to tell u, I appreciate and likes the present that u specially choses for me v. much. Thanks you.

Woke up at 8.30am. Yawn.. Tired… We had our free buffet breakfast in the hotel. The buffet spread was yucky!!! Nevertheless, we had something there to fill our empty stomach. We den took the metro train to Taipei Main Station to buy train station to Rei Fang. The journey from Taipei Main Station to Rei Fang was like an hour plus? When we reached, we took a bus for abt 20 mins to Jiu Fen. Jiu Fen is a place for tourist. It is at the top of the hill. It sells lots of unique Taiwan stuff and oso unique food. We had our lunch there by trying all their traditional foods. Shop around and got quite some stuffs back for parent and David.

By the time we reach our hotel, it was abt 4pm+. We quickly leave our shopping bag in the hotel room and then had a quick bite at their mister donuts. Ermz.. the donut taste ok ok only lorz.. Not to my liking lei.. I guess i still prefer donut factory.... While we were having our donuts, we saw 2 gals selling valentine gift. Dear buy the bear wand gift for me! So sweeeeeet... ;-)

Anyway, we took metro to Bei Tou for hotspring. It was drizzling...The first 2 hotspring hotel thatt we went were fully occupied and we had to queue for 2 hours. We den found hotspring place on top of the hill. Wah... had to climb a v. high staircase before reaching the hotspring place. The hotspring contain sulphur and it produce a weird smell... But not to worry, both of us has enjoyed our first time experience hotspring in such a coooool weather! ~ ! ~
After the comfortable and relaxing hotspring session, we were ready to makan in Shilin Night Market located at Jian Tan Metro Station. The night market is so so so so BIG and HAPPENING!!! I thought the night market is only famous for foods, didn't expect so many shopping places too... Heehee... Before i start my shopping, we decided to fill our stomach first. First, we ordered a small portion of the pig instestine mee suan... Eating warm food on such a cool weather was sooooooo GOOD!!!
Heehee... Next was smelly tofu! Ermz.. The tofu taste okie only larz.. But compared to Jiu Fen wan.. it definately taste much better! Followed by smelly tofu was the fried shrimp (xiao ren jian)... The sauce is sweeet... Ermz.. as compared to S'pore fried oyster (hao jian), i guess i will prefer ours coz not so sweet. But it was a good try! ;-) We den start shopping and playing some traditional games. It was my first time trying the fish game and the shooting ballons game. I love the fish game very much. Is sooooo fun! Yeah!!! I bought some nail polish, panties, bra, oil blotter from the night market. While i was shopping, dear went to queue up for the XXL Fried Chicken... It is like 1 time bigger den our S'pore fried chicken lorz... Sooo big... and cheaper.. It cost like $2.50 only lei... Oh... I had my 1 slice of birthday cake in one of the cafe over there. Too bad.. They dun have candle so I didn't blow any candle this year yet... The strawberry cake is so cheap lorz... abt $2.50 per piece. And is Yummy!!! Heehee... After the makan session, i request dear to take neo-print with me. And yeah! We look so Handsome and Pretty in the pic lorz... ;-) By the time we finish shopping around Shilin, it was abt 10pm le. Initially we decided to go back hotel rest le.. But we saw another market opposite the road. So we cross over to see see look look lo. I got a handbag there for like NT 200. Cheap! Dear and I oso play the majong matching game there. He won a soft toy fox for me... So cute.. Oopz.. I didn't take the pic of the fox.. Mayb i shld take the pic of the fox later... ;-)

We den proceed to take a metro to Dan Shui station. Dear and I both slept in the metro train peacefully... Heehee... We went to the Taiwan Bank to exchange more NT. Waited for like 15 mins. And guess wat? The counter lady says that we are not allowed to exchange w/o a password!?! Wah lau! I ask her why can't I juz show her my IC? Is me! I am not like faking someone ID lorz! But she insist NO means NO! Damn! So no choice lorz.... We didn't manage to exchange the money in the end.. Sianz.. Thought that we have more money to spend.... Ermz.. Nvm... Anyway, we went to walk around at Dan Shui Lao Jie. Walk for quite sometime and we realise that we were not at the Lao Jie... Lolx.. Haha.. Though we are at the wrong place, i still manage to buy quite some stuffs.. Power right? ;-p We try to walk to the Lao Jie... But find that nothing interesting there lei.. We dun really like the place...
Den.. We went to the bus station and take a bus to Fisherman Warfs (Yu Ren Ma Tou). Ermz.. The scenary there is beautiful! Especially when u stand on the bridge... U can see the scenary of the sea? river? canal? Aiya.. I think is sea larz.. Hehee.. But the temperature there oso freaking cool lorz.. I couldn't stand the strong wind blowing... After taking a few pic, quickly ask dear to get down to get some warm food or drink... We tried the Ah Gei and Fishball soup. I find that Ah Gei not that nice lei.. It's just a beancurd skin and fill with vemicilli inside and they put a sweet sauce onto.. The fishball soup was a good treat on such a cooooool weather.. But is too oily le... We oso order a hot rose red tea and a XXL Chicken again... Heehee.. Dear not satisfied from yesterday XXL Chicken so he want to eat it again today. Heehee.. We cross the bridge again while we take a few bites of the hot XXL chicken and slipping the hot tea... Wooo.... Still cold... but at least we have something warm on our hand... ;-) We took a bus back to bus station followed by metro to Hou Shan Pi station.

As usual, dear and I slept on our journey to Hou Shan Pi. Ermz.. But the 2 of us wasn't feeling well. When we reach Hous Shan Pi, we quickly went to the restroom... Argh... We both had bad diarrhoea... I guess becoz we were not use to eating the xiao chi frm roadstalls that why we had diarrhoea... Ermz.. We tot after diarrhoe, we will be alright.. so we walk to Wu Fen Pu, the fashion clothes distribution centre. I have been reading alot from Flowerpod that Wu Fen Pu is a great place for cheap and fasionable shopping... I am so excited!!! But.. while strolling down Wu Fen Pu for like 10 minutes only.. I felt terrible... abit giddy.. my stomach pain came back... I ask dear whether we can just go back hotel and rest for awhile... He say ok... So we took a cab back to hotel... Dear was feeling very bloated and I kept going toilet lorz... We took medicine and rest for like 2 hours plus.... As I don't want to waste time zzz and resting in the hotel, i quickly wake dear up at abt 7pm +. He wasn't very happy that I still wanna go out... ;-( But after my constant persuasion, he have no choice but to give in to his precious baobei... Heehee... * Love you, dear!
At abt 8pm, we took a cab to Huaxi night market. Ermz. it cost like NT75 which we find it quite reasonable larz.. Coz take metro, 2 person cost abt NT40 le... and we oso dunno how to walk there.. Anyway, Huaxi night market have something very scary........ that is..... SNAKE!!! They are LIVE SNAKE lorz.... Wah lau... Scary lei... I really v. scare of snake yet dear still wanna drink snake soup... *faintz.. He kept pushing me into the snake stall.But i kept move back... I cannot stand having snake soup and moreover infront of those LIVE SNAKE! Is HORRIBLE!!! Dear have no choice but to give in... Guess he can see i v. scare lorz.... Next interesting stall that we went was the Druken Prawn Soup stall. Ermz.. I dun really like the soup coz the alcohol too thick for me. But the prawn taste really fresh! Yummy!!! While dear was settling the bill, i discover that the prawn was alive de lorz! They are still moving here and there when the lady was bbq it. No wonder is so fresh! We walk walk around HuaXi..Find quite some nicee food but I dun really dare to eat much coz my stomach wasn't feeling very well yet. But anyway, i was v. tempted to try the Glutinous Rice in pig instestine.. It looks like sausage but is white is colour... But is soooo big portion... Couldn't finish so didn't order... But.. we saw this stall, selling something like the LOK LOK that we tried in KL. They oso sell the glutinous rice in smaller portion. So we order that and oso 1 tempura to try. Ermz.. The rice taste good! Heehee.. We oso tried some small portion xiao chi like the squid ball, pepper bun (hu jiao bing), bbq cuttlefish, peanut soup with youtiao.. Heehee.. Now i think back, we still eat alot though we not feeling well huh? haha... lolx..

Can see quite a big part of Taipei..

After the ride, we took a shuttle bus to metro. We took the metro to Zhou Xiao Fuxing station. First, we went to Breeze Centre to shop. There they have a shop just like our Daiso. But the price not so cheap larz.. I shop around for some beauty products and Dear went to Kinokuniya to browse thru some books and magazines. After shopping there, we quickly go to the basement MOS Burger to get a quick drink. We were v. v. v. v. thirsty... Rest awhile den we decided to pamper ourselves with massage and manicure. Heehee..

I felt terrible... abit giddy.. my stomach pain came back... I ask dear whether we can just go back hotel and rest for awhile... He say ok... So we took a cab back to hotel... Dear was feeling very bloated and I kept going toilet lorz... We took medicine and rest for like 2 hours plus.... As I don't want to waste time zzz and resting in the hotel, i quickly wake dear up at abt 7pm +. He wasn't very happy that I still wanna go out... ;-( But after my constant persuasion, he have no choice but to give in to his precious baobei... Heehee... * Love you, dear!
At abt 8pm, we took a cab to Huaxi night market. Ermz. it cost like NT75 which we find it quite reasonable larz.. Coz take metro, 2 person cost abt NT40 le... and we oso dunno how to walk there.. Anyway, Huaxi night market have something very scary........ that is..... SNAKE!!! They are LIVE SNAKE lorz.... Wah lau... Scary lei... I really v. scare of snake yet dear still wanna drink snake soup... *faintz.. He kept pushing me into the snake stall.But i kept move back... I cannot stand having snake soup and moreover infront of those LIVE SNAKE! Is HORRIBLE!!! Dear have no choice but to give in... Guess he can see i v. scare lorz.... Next interesting stall that we went was the Druken Prawn Soup stall. Ermz.. I dun really like the soup coz the alcohol too thick for me. But the prawn taste really fresh! Yummy!!! While dear was settling the bill, i discover that the prawn was alive de lorz! They are still moving here and there when the lady was bbq it. No wonder is so fresh! We walk walk around HuaXi..Find quite some nicee food but I dun really dare to eat much coz my stomach wasn't feeling very well yet. But anyway, i was v. tempted to try the Glutinous Rice in pig instestine.. It looks like sausage but is white is colour... But is soooo big portion... Couldn't finish so didn't order... But.. we saw this stall, selling something like the LOK LOK that we tried in KL. They oso sell the glutinous rice in smaller portion. So we order that and oso 1 tempura to try. Ermz.. The rice taste good! Heehee.. We oso tried some small portion xiao chi like the squid ball, pepper bun (hu jiao bing), bbq cuttlefish, peanut soup with youtiao.. Heehee.. Now i think back, we still eat alot though we not feeling well huh? haha... lolx..

Today is the last 'full' day we will be in Taiwain. We decided to go to their some of their popular shopping malls. We took metro to Jian Tan station and look for the Miramar Shopping Mall. Couldn't find the free shuttle bus. So we took a cab again.. Wah.. luckily we nv walk around and find sia... Is sooooo far frm the metro station lorz... Anyway, we had our breakfast cum lunch at Miramar Shopping Mall. We had teppanyaki lunch. We both find that the food bigger in portion but not as tasty as S'pore... After the filling lunch, we went to for the Ferris Wheel ride located in the shopping mall itself. It cost like S$10 for 1 round of the ride if i am not wrong. The view there was good! Can see quite a big part of Taipei..

Dear keep asking me to chew but i juz split it out after awhile. Anyway, he had the beef soup at one of the shop at Rao He. Ermz.. I guess the soup must be really nice otherwise the shop will not be always full house de lorz.. We oso had the ma lai chou dou fu with duck blood. Is v. spicy but it taste v. good! This was the most crowded night market that we went. But of course, we bought quite some stuffs (CUTE Umbrella and Walking Stick for Dear Ah Ma) and tried the xiao chi over there.
