Wednesday, May 29, 2013 taiwan day #2 part III, day #3 part I
I'm back for more updates!
continuing from the previous post, when we left 心之芳庭 its already around 6:30 i think. the placed was already closed and our driver went in to look for us. hahaha. we actually bump into him when we were exiting.
For the whole of day 2, our luggage are in the driver's car all the time, and we just stop by the place we wanna go while the driver wait for us to finish exploring the place. he must be tired. LOL. So he drive us to our hotel at cityinn (taichung branch) and he say he dont have time to drive us to feng jia market, so he deduct 200NT from our total fare. i think we agreed on 3000NT or is it 4000NT at first? cant remember. kinda ex, or rather very.
Finally checked in to our hotel. loving the deco at the lobby!
 and when we enter our room. actually i was pretty happy with this.  all these, small and cosy, with free movies, and even condom wtf.  toilet also nice. shower head + hand shower + the unlimited free supply of body wash & shampoo. LOL 
until we attempt to open our luggage. we COULDN'T!! LOL. in this pic is the mirror behind the bed, you can basically see the whole walking space, that's how much space we have.
so eventually we decided to request for a change of bigger room. i think we pay additional S$15 each. pretty much worth it.
 this is how the corridor is like at level 9, our upgraded room.  everything alice in wonderland!  and here's our room!    toilet, sorry blur. LOL.  the view from our room. hahaha, quite interested in the mode mall. but we were going night market and nxt day gonna check out in the morning already! so no chance.  we watched life of pi, more interesting than what i imagined. hahaha. but i didnt complete the whole movie cause i went to bath halfway.   love their paper bag that came with a story of how 2 girls are inspired to open up the store!  both mine and her stuff. sadly i bring home these lavender cookies which not much people know how to appreciate. and they dont put preservatives so they expire pretty fast. and it was all wasted. 1 of the box i bring to my office was left untouched. :( i tasted it before i buy and i kinda like it leh! LOL   our yummiest 'haul'. LOL majorrrrr love!   
take pic with da wall cause jin chio. LOL
 off to da night market!! and see, we are dressed in Thin tshirt and shorts right, we really 'buey kia si' (not afraid to die).    the moment we reach feng jia night market, omg.... mthrfking cold to the max the moment we got down the cab!! cannot tahan the coldness, so we immediately bought from the first stall we see, which is 滷味! imo, this is the best out of all that i've tried. ok, not like i tried alot, but there's one i bought 師大 night market was ex and not as nice as this. this one is spicy!! also because there's hardly any spicy food in tw.  entering the night market, so big we have no idea to go from which direction.  ssa was all hyper when she saw this takoyaki and say its a must buy! she wanted to have a box by herself but i stopped her because i said we are gonna have many more food along the way. lol.  in deed it was ulllltimate shiok!! they are really generous and this half a dozen only cost like what less than S$2?!?!? WTF.. the one in ion cost $4 or more right???? FML.  enjoying the stinky tofu, which i totally cant stand it. LOL.  this is also da best!!!! i wanted to try papaya milk and ssa say we must find those with many people queuing or got tv recommend one. this store was so red and bright + got tv, so we decided to try. hahaha. and i must say that i dont normally like or drink papaya milk. but this is w.t.f. the bomb diggity. you can taste bits of papaya in it, and the proportion of the papaya & milk is just nice! unlike those you buy in sg hawker, they normally save on the papaya and gave u more milk OR add water, so its very bland or too milky. this one, as what i saw frm the tv intro, they dont put in a single drop of water! all they used is papaya and milk. and they blend the crushed ice to the perfect texture. damnnn, sorry cannot get over how nice it is. hahahha. cant remember the price, around 30-55NT only!  fireworks in ma mouth yo. regret not buying 1 more back to our hotel!!!  thai style chicken chop. got tv intro, but abit over-rated? lol we didnt finish even half.  seafood attracts us.. look at those fat prawns.  bought around $10 worth, to bring back the hotel to eat. but its not that nice cause very cold already. i think it would be awesome to eat on the spot, but tak glam leh eat prawn in public and my hands wud be all dirty and i cant shop. LOL.  abit tired liao lol.   .... ai mei ??? LOL. Or its xia wei ??? HHHAHAHAA.  thought this is a must try also. super crowded and have to wait for seats.  actually its oden. hahaha. i think this is the soup version of 滷味 lol. we ordered 1 bowl but they seperate our food into 2 portion! but prob is we were toooo full at this moment and we just wanted to try. turns out the portion is too big, cannot finish.  freshiest sweetest juiciest mango i ever tasted! big and chunky. and the jambu is damn nice as well! i also dont really like jambu but when they gave me a sample i was like omg, take my money! it kinda taste like its been dipped into plum juice, not sure bout that, but its really very nice!  tired face eating oden. LOL.   just check out how big is their watermelon! LOL.   this is also another must try, + see, got tv intro again! LOl  LOL.. i told her i wanted to take pic. i was wondering y she pose until so serious. then when she see the pic she was like walao i thought u only take pic of the food! LOL.  trying to stable the food for a shot. i send this to yee and she ask why we interlocked our hands together. hahahaa! we didnt!!  didnt eye on much stuff to buy except for the food. i only bought a pair of shades and jegging there i think. ssa bought a parka jacket (which she found a cheaper and similar one at another shop after she buy!) cuz it was too cold. i actually feel cold but at the same time enjoying the coldness. hahaha, ard 19 deg or below. back in hotel enjoying the milk pudding and the rest of the food in bed.     -------------------- thats all for day #2 ---------------------- DAY #3 rise and shine! missed breakfast. LOL, prepared to checked out and head to taipei!  some selfies before leaving. trying out my new shades. haha, the staff in the hotel always call before 12 to remind us the checkout timing. zz.   wanted to wear this headband, but eventually give up. LOL. im always paranoid they gonna flip off when i wear it because they keep moving cuz of the elasticity.  decided to curl my hair with braids instead. LOL.    make our way to the train station dragging our heavy luggage all the way.    their bian dang which i bought to try!  and it was amazinggggzxzx!! porkchop, vege, beancurd, egg and pickles! suppppa yummy!! thought it looks okok, LOL.  Long journey train ride from taichung to taipei... ssa and i were commenting on each other instagram when we were sitting next to each other. LOL.   arrived after around 2-3 hours and change to the MRT. i think its call TRA? sorry i cant remember they have TRA, HSR and train??? so confused. LOL. anyway the reason i took this pic because we were standing on the right side ( the empty side) and after awhile we notice the people on the left were kinda looking at us.. then we realized we are supposed to stand in the white line. hahaha!!!! embarassed much, cause in sg got 2 sides ma! LOL!!! this is actually good cause the people can alight easily, and people cannot cut Q!!  trying to find our hotel (also cityinn) at ximending branch, and it was seen the moment we exit from the mrt!  checking in, already late noon!! lotsa time spent travelling.  love their deco as usual.  the corridor when we came out from the lift.   this is awkard... hahha the staff in the lift with us went up the lift when we exited at level 7. then we were camwhoring and suddenly she appear from the exit door at our level. and she offer to help us take a picture. HAHAHHA.   Yes, camwhore w the door again. LOL. cmi face.  Whee!! HOT PINK greeted us! i think i love this room best out of all! thought this DOES NOT HAVE ANY WINDOW. dafuq. first time i stayed in a room without windows. but im loving the pink camo and bear prints!  our 'chocolatey' bathroom! one thing i dont like, the hairdryer is attached inside the bathroom. so we cant have 1 person drying hair & the other one bathing!  this looks very much like a picture grabbed from the hotel website. LOL, its taken by me!   requested me to take pic again.  ownself camwhore with pink wall.   preparing to head out. and as you can see, i am armed with jacket. LOL.  OTW to our destination, in cab, thus camwhore~~~~ and i took off my rubberbands! so i've got curls for the day! yay!   my stagnant camwhore face. LOL.  the best out of all. hahaah.  
Okay, im gonna pause here continue day #3 next time!! look out for upcoming post of dazzling cafe!
