Taiwan trip Day 4 and 5

Sorry for such long wait for the last post. have been stuck up with stuffs and settling some personal. Anyway it was the last 2 days at Taipei. There isn't much that we planned for but to purely relax and do some last minute shopping and stuff. So we woke up abit later and head to their supermarket to buy some local products back home.

This is the supermarket that is the nearest to where we stayed (which is Ximending). 

Head over to Mr Bown coffee for breakfast first =)

Pardon for the slpy face because i was really tired. 

And this is what we bought. seriously I know the instant noodles are abit over. BUT taipei instant noodles are really awesome! especially if you can eat beef. Their Beef instant noodles are superb. no kidding. You can look for these two brands, " Yi Du Zan" and "Man Han Da Can" And we bought some cuttlefish as well which was tasty too.  After which we head back hotel to leave all these stuff in the room before we head out for lunch.


Probably one of the must-go restaurants that everybody will recommend or the guide book would definitely mention. It is the toilet theme restaurant at Ximending. Right down below our hotel, such convenience! 



Cute right?!
This was shared between two of us. It was rather big potion, like a steamboat. 

Initially I thought it was a toilet bowl for pee-ing. No it is not i can assure you. It's their hand basin. cool right. If I didnt remember wrongly, the bill came to about NT 400 plus? pretty affordable and nice ambience I would say. After a fulfilling meal, we slowly head our way to our hot sauna.

Of course not forgetting to buy the bubble tea in Taipei that is the KOI in SG. 

And there we are at the Hot Sauna area which is at Beitou station plus a bus ride as well. 


two years back, I came to this with my sister and it was pretty good! But we decided to try other so to compare.
And we head over to that! I seriously regret choosing that although if you compare the price, it is cheaper than the one me and my sister had. Oh well, now we know which not to go. Im sorry there is no pictures for the sauna.

And our last night market before we say goodbye to Taipei =( SHILIN MARKET! this is the largest night market in Taipei if I am not wrong. and the last time I came here, it was totally different from what I saw then. 2 years changed alot. For your info, this is at Jiantan Station, it is more nearer to Jiantan than Shilin.

never to miss out the huge chicken cutlet in Shilin! forever long queue but trust me it is no where near the standard in SG. you never wanna eat SG ones if you had tried this.



This is one of my recommend too. Look for this stall, the bubble tea are real nice and in big big cup! and it cost NT45 only! We didn't shop much in Shilin for clothes, but only to eat and eat and eat. We walked few rounds to make sure we tried the food. I was too busy eating that I didnt snap the rest of the food. Sucks to have both eaters and zero photographer. LOL

So the next day we had to go back SG already, but we had a night flight so we still got some time left in the morning to do some shopping because seriously i didnt buy alot of clothes (which i regret because honestly taipei clothes are pretty nice and of quality as compared to bkk). we head to one of the shop in Ximending which is famous for their dumpling and had our breakfast there.

After which, I did some last minute shopping before we roam around our area for some sightseeing. I love their graffiti walls. Its amazing how talented and artistic they are to draw such beautiful pictures. I shall not caption and let you guys enjoy the artwork.







leaving taipei already! =( oh well, till next time I would definitely come back! We took a highspeed railway train to save time and money. If you want to take a cab to airport it will cost you NT900 - 1000. We took a railway train and it costs us only NT320 for 2 pax! save money! hahahha. plus the train is superb comfy, better than our plane seat seriously.




The bento that we have not tried! smell nice and taste even better. seriously how come they got so many nice food?!
BYE TAIPEI! and that concludes my taiwan trip 2013. till then!

for a peaceful heart





当爱情没有了热情 没有了了解
是不是就到了尽头

当曾经打开的心 现在换来的是伤痕累累
心死了

剩下的只是一颗空心
一颗不能被打扰的心

累了
哭了
伤了
 然后呢


I will be back, soon.
