we only had one full day in taiwan, so this is it
picture taken by cheryl in the hotel room when i was tying shoelace getting ready to have breakfast! (rubs tummy)
we were welcomed by this really huge chandelier in the restaurant, i love chandeliers! i swear i gonna have one in my house next time even if it doesnt really fits in a HDB flat Haha.
YUMMY FOOD!
their buffet was good! and i think most hotels dont really serve good buffet food but this one is good!
so as soon as we finished breakfast, we started our journey to Tze meng Ding.
it was only a few stops like 5 stops from our hotel, the Fare was cheap too mayb like a dollar.
(on the train)
cheryl rather reluctant to take this photo as u can see...
Oh one thing about escalators, everybody keeps left so next time u go taiwan KEEP LEFT!
(reached XIMEN)
still early nobody on the streets yet.
we had breakfast, not me not cheryl but stephanie coz she didnt went for the buffet.
but the cafe we went was a nice place.see the chair behind? their decor is old school and den theres like Different coffe machines from all over the generations..
heres my drink, called Crazy lover in chinese ( feng kuang lian ren)
it has this really nice and special aroma but i am not really sure about the taste, its a little sour dont really like it.
cheryl's rose tea!
roamed ximen, but shops were not opened yet so we just spent time walking around
PS: didnt take photos when all the shops were opened and the crowd on the street. Was too busy shopping lahs!
had our lunch Standing up haha, Look at the crowd and you know its good!
our first time having lunch standing up by the road!
simple as it may seem, theres alot of layers of taste, i tell you its so good!
Ps: again didnt take pictures when shopping.
SO when me and cheryl finally finished all the shops and already walked a few rounds of the same places already,we went to find stephanie and her friends and karaoke!
their karaoke is happening can, the whole building like 8 levels was KARAOKE. at first i thought from outside it was a hotel or something =.=
check this out, i liked this seat alot, it was like ur a little star sitting there to sing.
Every room even had a personal toilet attached to them lahs!
me singing! pretty bad shot but nv, see the little door is the toilet! and they called it ( hua zhuang shi) which means make up room.
they even give rating on the screen after u finish singing, i scored 78! which was my best one.
after streching our vocals, we proceeded to the famous shihlin ye shi!
the signboard obviously tells you wat we were queing up for,
yup yup its the XXL crispy chicken!
stephanie was withstanding the HOTNESS of the chicken while i was trying to take a perfect shot, dat explains why her face is kindda feirce. haha
check out the crowd! luckily it was winter, if not i would have been sweating like shit.
So i would say winter is a good season to go!
their " ou ar jian " oyster in english. its different from singapore's as they have it with this sauce dat tastes superb with the OU ar JIAN.
All smiles for good food! there was lots of other food dat my camera missed. Busy eating mahs!
they were catching prawns! and the horizontal side was for catching tortises
wat were they doing? cleaning their ears....
that more or less summarized my day 2 of taiwan!
after shihlin we went back to hotel to bath and change and wearing " home clothes" we roamed the streets around our hotel and went to have supper! at this 24hour cafe, we even took neoprints!haha
this photo is when the three of us were putting our legs on the wall, imagine the fun
HAHA. we had little fashion show also, putting on the stuffs we bought!
after all tha crazy stuffs in the room, we again watched tv! and it was already like 2am. good programs all day long!
