Well, this round we choose to travel with tour agency, save our trouble to plan and decide where to move about.
We got to meet at the airport @8.15am with our tour leader and group of people we will be travelling together for the next 8days. Our journey begins once we board on the aircraft...
(Sorry for those reading my blog on Taiwan trip... I going to flood with photos)
Excited once we start flying |
Our Face look so tired |
Fried Rice |
Beef + Mash Potato |

The Entrance to the High-Speed train station |
Ticketing Machine |
This is where my boarding area will be... No free seating |
Hear come the train... manage to get a snap shot of it.
Once reached, the first stop that we go to was 淡水老街 (Dan Shui Old Street). Very well know for selling quail egg ( 铁蛋). But it was raining heavily with wind blowing, that make me shiver. In the end, instead of using my foldable umbrella, we ended up buying 2 big umbrella.
I never bought any quail eggs that, but instead enjoying the "smelly bead curd" which taste not bad. And a dish call ah gei ( 阿给). What it contain inside is actually bead curd wrap with glass noodles and with their special sauce in it. Taste yummy.
The only things I don't really like about Taiwan after first day visit is... why is rubbish bin so hard to find??? I walk a few streets but couldn't find a single bin, in the end.. hehe... I throw it to my tour guide since they having coffee at a cafe.
Our next stop is Shilin market (士林夜市. A famous and well know place in Taiwan that everyone one will visit when they are there. This place is well known for the food they offer.... tasty, huge variety and most importable is cheap.
My Tour Guide giving us a small brief on what is nice here and what not to take. He keep saying anything that is cold... don't buy cause he worry we got weak stomach.
Super huge sausage |
大肠包小肠 |
Next the famous item here, Super XL Crispy Chicken Cutler. For this, you seriously need to share with another person, the size is so huge that after eating you be feeling almost full. Price is cheap too that cost me SGD2.40. A must to try even though the Que is forever long.
As we move around we just feel like eating more items but our tummy is going to burst. OMG.
Seriously, this place is Ladies Paradise... item from hair accessories, clothing to shoes are all in affordable price.
And we pop by a stall that call Prince Frog where we get our drinks here. Yummy as it put in lots of jelly and bubble tea pearl. Chewy and quench our thrist too.
Yup... I'm looking at PJs... as they are really cheap. It only cost me around SGD5.00 /pc. So I grab 2 and go.
Then as we move to one alley, we saw 2 temples. Rather unique so I just pose for a picture here.
Temple at the roof.. |
Nice and comfy, a 5 star hotel which I feel they had equip with all the necessity of what we need.
Love the look through glass from bedroom to bathroom |
I did a short video of this hotel room tour... view it to see what they have.
(Hotel name: Chateau De Chine)
