Taiwan had been a joyful trip. I am glad I brought mum along for this trip this time. Not becos I never ever bring her along for all my holidays, I am glad we are able to spend more time together and as well as bringing her for this trip after her recovery from her illness.
These are the things that I did there...
Taipei-
Shopped at Zhong Xiao Dong Lu - where all the higher class of shirts, street wear, label wears are. Very nice place to shop at, but prices are generally steeper and more expensive.
Visited Hello Kitty Cafe - the one place I had to visit when i visit taipei. Such a cute and lovely place. But there was a time period of only 1.5 hours there and every patroniser had to spend a minimal of TWD 300 which is equivalent to S$13 if we wanna have tea there.
We went to Dam Shui old street and visited fisherman wharf and lovers bridge.
Visited Rao He Nightmarket.
Visited Wu Fen Pu for more shopping!
Went up to Taipei 101 - observatory Tower
And dine in the famous must try in taipei Ding Tai Feng with 2 michelin stars.
Visited longshan temple on vesak day, under mum's persistent request.
Tried the famous ah zhong mian xian - not anything fanciful and I think other shops along the street sells better mian xian than them.
Went to Shi Fen to release kong meng deng when it was raining like mad.
Visited Jiu Fen - the must go destination for all tourists.
Visitied Shi Lin night market,
and how to miss out the "must eat" Lu rou fan.
And I have to introduce you this place where I stayed. It is a service apartment with 2 joined bedrooms, a hall, a kitchen, a dining hall and a share toliet.
Iservice apartment is wonderful and i mean really wonderfil.
The location is superb in the sense that I am situated at the interchange. So the HSR Station, Raiway station, MRT station and bus stations are all just right above me.
I dont have to change train apart from moving from blue to red line. The hotel was good, amenties such as toothbrush , combs and towel were changed daily.
oh and I visited alot of cute cafe on the way in taipei. This is a fish tank cafe where customers sits on swings.
Xi Men Ding- where the crowds never die.
oh this is the MRT tickets - our known ezy link cards. Cant Spore invent something like this. So small and handy instead of big unsightly cards;
Taizhong -
It was raining every single day in taizhong and it was such a hassle carring umbrellas everywhere we go so we sought to the idea of wearing raincoats.Even wearing rain coats was a chore because shops do not allow you to patronise them when you are in raincoat or rainboots! zzz.
We had lunch at this oldest theme restaurant in taizhong. Very worth going. I personally enjoy this place very much. Check out all the vintage stuffs which you will not be able to find them in singapore anymore.
At Feng Jia night market
oh we also visited mushroom farm in taizhong where we settled for hotpot for lunch there.
Cool and nice place whereby you have your lunch up in the mountain - with a view. Reminds me of bali ya?!
Visited Cingjing's most expensive Minsu - A man made castle overlooking the mountain. and the driver we engaged for the day alighted us for phototaking.
such a beautiful place.
Last but not least, cingjing farm. The place I have been wanting to visit upon reading alot of reviews and blog. It took 2 hours to reach the destination form taizhong.
and it was really cold.
and with this, I end my taiwan vacation post. Check out the rest of the pictures in facebook.
