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

Taiwan Day 9: Food and more food,

It was our 9th day in Taiwan. Our itinerary that day was supposed to be at Taipei 101 for the observatory tower but the weather was rlly bad so we decided to postpone to the next day!

Look at how bad it was!

So we changed our plan and took a cab to Cafe Waiting Love. This is the cafe where the movie filmed at! Hahah, I was kinda excited but we had to wait for about 30-45mins when we reached. So, to kill time, I started the camwhoring sesh. HAHAH!

We didn't order much for this because our plan for the day was to cafe hop around the places that were in our itinerary. So we ended up ordering only...

阿布斯特调

+ apply & cinnamon waffle + Green tea milk w/ adzuki bean

Not a fan of green tea but Baby suggested buying ordering smth other than chocolate milk (or similar). So yep, I tried and erm... I ended up giving B the whole cup hahahahah! He had so much to tank other than my green tea! But overall, the dessert there was nice! Worth it!

Headed to Yong Kang Street for more food after this. When we exited the station, we saw long queue from far and damn! It was the queue for Din Tai Fung. I think we waited for a good 30 mins before we managed to enter the restaurant. We were led to the 3rd level. Thankfully, there weren't too many people on that level.

Settled down and we ordered the following:

Stir-fried spinach with bean curd sheets (NT$240)

Truffle and pork xiao long bao (NT$450)

Pork chop noodle soup (T$190)

Braised Beef noodle soup (NT$230)

Much love for this truffle xlb. It was our first time trying this because Singapore didn't have this yet at that time. So, it was smth new for the both of us. And damn, it was rlly good! Though the price was steep, I wouldn't mind trying it agn because it was rlly good!! Anyway, we kind of over ordered again. Hahahah! We nvr learn our lessons one leh! Tsk!

Exited the restaurant and saw this sight of Taipei 101. Argh, how to go you tell me!!

Our stomachs were very full from the food that we stuff in DTF, so we couldn't go for 高记 at all. But I heard that this is what the locals would go for rather than DTF. Would definitely try Gao Ji the next time I'm back. Bro tried and he said it's nice! So yep! Recommended!

Walked a few rounds to digest before we decided to go for dessert at Patisserie La Douceur. It's a small dessert shop that's located at a quiet corner. A corner where not many would walk by?

I've no idea what this is called because it's written in Chinese. I can only read the first and last word "大x地" (NT$135). Hahahah!! It's a macaron that's filled with blueberry jam and a bit of chocolate. Nope, too sweet for us. Both Baby and I aren't sweet tooth :/

Headed to Shida night market after that. Wow, MORE FOOD!!!! It was raining heavily but no, nothing can stop us!!

Back to Ximeding and decided to buy more food back to our hotel room... Hahahah, totaly 吃不停 one!!

And yep! That's how we spent our Day 9 in Taiwan! :)
