Taipei Day 3

Last day in Taipei, we decided to go to Taipei 101 there for Starbucks located level 35, at the same time for scenery. It was raining heavy but we have to take the RED LOVE photo - mission of the day! LOL
RED LOVE. LOL
Managed to get the visitor pass up to Taipei 101's Starbucks. Guide from Gallivantingreg.com
After then, went back to Minsu area for last minute shopping! XIMENDING! LOL! And yes, as planned to have our lunch @ the Modern Toilet. Dad and mum seems to have enjoyed themselves very much in the restaurant. My suggestion - if u want to eat here, make it the first stop before shopping @ximending, they are always full house and expected waiting time will be around 40mins and they will give you a call once tables are ready. But we are consider lucky i supposed. We managed to get the seats upon reaching. LOL
Back to Minsu and grabbed our luggage after shopping at Ximending. Had a hard time looking for Taipei West Bus Station Terminal. Finally after almost an 40mins looking for the terminal, we finally found it!! LOL!
Kuo Kuang Bus to Airport DONT DEPART FROM HERE.
 It departs from here, the Taipei West Bus Station Terminal

Taipei Day 2

After a day in Taipei, i realised shops there don't really open very early. U will get to see all shops only starts to open at around 12mn? LOL.

Decided to have our breakfast at 阜杭豆浆店 (Nearest Mrt: Shandaoshi). Upon reaching there. OMG. The queue was SUPER LONG. All the way till almost the mrt station exit. LOL! So we gave up and have our breakfast at 永和豆浆油条 which is just a street away. Youtiao and soya milk taste was fine but definitely not the Xiao Long Bao. LOL! Not juicy at all. Quite fail actually. LOL

Trained to Taipei Main Station and bought the TRA ticket to & fro to RuiFang at $500NTD for 4 pax. Went there with seats allocated and back w/o seats. A very bad decision. Should have bough the tix to RuiFang and at RuiFang bought the return ticket upon reaching. Well. First time.

Cabbed to JiuFen Old street because bus is taking us too long! Waited for 10mins but yet to see any bus. 180NTD to JiuFen i think is absolutely reasonable. LOL

I like this photo eh. Very got feel. LOL
Headed to ShiDa NM after, ShiDa was rather a small scale NM but was quite crowded. I like the Big Intestine Mee Sua there! It tasted pretty awesome. I actually preferred this Mee Sua to Ah Zhong Mee Sua @ XIMENDING. LOL! i didnt have a photo of it, too busy eating. Fully recovered from food poisoning. The grill foods over @Shida was fantastic! The chicken was so juicy and tender. LOL!

Failed to eat hotplate steak the day before, so no matter what! I MUST EAT. Went into the shop @ Shida that actually have hotplate steak and of cos i ate it! LOL!  But Bro said ZIQIAN NM's one was nicer. =((
Self took Family photo on the train

Been and back from Taipei! Taipei Day 1

As i mentioned from my previous post, i should be in taiwan for 6D5N! TAICHUNG - HUALIEN - TAIPEI - TAOYUAN. But I was glad that dad and bro managed to go to taichung and hualien and have lots of fun there.

Alright, nevertheless, i enjoyed myself in taipei!! <3 I like taiwan! Really. Definitely i WILL WANT TO GO BACK AGAIN but of cos not during winter time. LOL.

Yupp yupp. i'll start from upon reaching taoyuan airport... Mum and i took the Freego bus from the bus station at the airport @140/pax to Ximen Mrt. Journey was around 50mins? And upon reaching Ximen, Dad and bro was already waiting for us at the meeting point! HAPPINESS~ LOL

Reached our minsu in like less than 5mins walk from mrt! I LOVE THE MINSU! IS PRETTY!! i love the design of the whole apartment. I WILL DEFINITELY CHOOSE TO STAY THERE AGAIN. AWESOMEEE! And hosts are really nice and helpful. =))

Have our first day in taipei spent at Dansui! Lunch at Ding Tai Fung - but really sad, just recovered from food poisoning with no appetite. I only ate a bit. Hais!
Headed to Dansui via mrt, I like dansui because there are ALOT OF TIE DAN! <3 and not forgetting Yu Su. Hhahahas! Due to winter time, sunset really fast. At 5pm, sky starts to turn dark. AND WE WANTED TO TAKE THE BOAT to Fisherman's wharf, however boat service was only till 5pm. LOL. We had no choice but to take bus 26 there. By the time we reached there, sky have turned totally dark. LOL

Have our night spent at Shilin NM w/o dad and mum as they think travelling the whole day was already very tiring and decided to give NM a missed. LOL. Due to my food poisoning, no appetite, i actuallysay NO to HOTPLATE STEAK! I DIDNT TRIED IT. CAN U BELIEVE?! Bro grabbed some foods at Shilin and i took a few bites. AND THAT'S IT! DAMN YOU FOOD POISONING!
