Taiwan Day 11: Last day in Taiwan,

Hello, I just got back from Japan 2 days ago and it was nothing short of amazing!! I'll definitely update on my Japan trip in time to come! :)

For now, it's time for the last day of my Taiwan trip back in 2015! 


So, it was our last day in Taiwan and we woke up super early for Starbucks at Level 35 (Taipei 101). This required reservations. One can't go up without the presence of the staff. We reserved through call while others did it through the ticketing machine at the place itself. 





The Starbucks @ Level 35 wasn't exactly small. But it wasn't huge too. Initially, we were seated at the normal seats in the middle. We were aiming for the window seats actually. I mean, who wouldn't? If you're there, you would definitely aim for the window seats right? Hahahah! While we were queuing to get our food, some-two decided to leave and YAY!!!! WINDOW SEATS FOR US!! 

Oh, anyway, there's a time limit that one can stay at that place. It was an hour if not wrong. I think it's very reasonable if not everyone would have crowded at that Starbucks and not leave bcos the view there was rlly great and therapeutic, I would say! 

Damn lazy to edit the brightness! 

Very cloudy though

While waiting for our food to be ready





I think we spent more time enjoying the view and taking photos/selfies than to eat enjoy eating leh!! When the time was up, I was still sipping my drink lor! A bit sad that I didn't manage to finish my favourite Chocolate chip cream!!! :(




Returned back to our hotel for check-out! I bought this Taiwan version yakult a few days ago which I haven't tried and I had it on the last day and wows! It tasted quite good!! I rmbred buying another kind of yakult, a bottled one, back in year 2012, and BOY IT WAS SO NICE!!!! I couldn't find it this time when I went back to Tw though! 


Time to head to Taoyuan airport

Just in case anyone (or rather me) forgets which hotel/how it looks like... Here it goes!










Everything looks so good right? It comes with a price!! Our 6 nights there costs soooo much!!!! T_T But it was worth it lah! I'm someone who's very particular about my accommodations! I need a place that's comfortable and clean to stay in! 




And this was how we ended our 11D10N in Taiwan! We combed Kaohsiung, Kenting, Taichung, Tai Nan (Cingjing) and also Taipei! 

I rlly love the people there. Taiwanese are rlly friendly be it on streets or anywhere else. Their smiles are always on their faces and never will you be sick of hearing their "欢迎光临". If you were to ask me, Taiwan is the country that I would love to go back again for sure! 

For now, goodbye! :)

Taiwan Day 10: More Food,

Hello! As much as I want to update my blog, I felt a bit lazy too. Have been catching up on Return of the Superman! Seoeon and Seojun are my favourite two! Missed too many episodes of Running Man bcos of this too!

Anyway, back to my Taiwan travelogue! Finally reached the 10th day in Taiwan. On this day, we visited Taipei 101. The weather wasn't that good but we did not have any other days left! So yep, we decided to take the risk! It turned out to be positive: Cloudy! :)






The perfect OOTD spot but be warned, ladies!! The flooring is made of mirrors! So, if you do not want your undergarments to be exposed, do not wear skirt to the observatory level! hahahah! Thankfully I was wearing skort that day! So no worries! ;)







We overheard a tour guide telling her tour group that the apartment (bottom photo) was where A-mei stays. Not sure if she's still living there now bcos according to the tour guide, A-mei was "harassed" by paparazzi.



Basically, the observatory has nth much. If you ask me, I'd say the one at Namsan Tower is nicer :/ We headed to Dazzling Cafe next where we had to wait for almost 45mins. So, I went for havianas hunt in the meantime!





Vanilla & Matcha Au Lait TWD140

Caramel Latte Macchiato TWD130

Hazelnut Chocolate Honey Toast TWD290




If I didn't rmb wrongly, we took a stroll before we headed down to Wu Fen Pu for Formosa Chang 胡须张卤肉饭


卤肉饭 TWD35

贡丸汤 TWD40

Very very very cheap!! But bcos we were still quite full, we didn't order many sides. Went back to Ximending for my ice! This was also the place I went previously for snow ice and it was so good!! Heh and Baby didn't mind going to this place instead of finding a new one. So yep!





That concluded our purchase in Taiwan! One more day to go before we flew back to Singapore! :D
