Taipei Trip!

Sorry for the long absence! its been hard to update this blog lately as mummy's pc has lost the will to live n she cant load any photos via iphone to here LOL. the only way is to use daddy's pc but daddy is always on it!!

Ok, 1.5mth ago, mummy n me met ah ma n xinyi yiyi at taipei. we have been planning this trip for sometime. main purpose is to bring ah ma there as mummy thinks she should like it since the language n food is not very different from sg's. standard of living is not tat far either..moreover, may is a cool season (other than the rain of cos!)

we stayed in a rather cheap but comfy n conveniently located hotel name Han She Hotel near the Ximen Station. Its about 3-5mins walk i suppose. Everything is good about this hotel except the breakfast lol. mummy n yiyi dosent quite seem to like it. ah ma said still ok. n the fact tat the lobby is at the 4th floor.. is rather inconvenient...

The room we stayed is the biggest rm there i suppose.. it has 2 king size bed as stated on the website but mummy think its a king n a queen... n its rather spacious..

One side of the rm...

The other side of the rm...

The funny thing is the 2 beds are directly opposite each other which means one bed facing the tv n the other facing the back of the tv!! LOL

Below is our itinery:

Day 1 - Walk around Ximending and had our steamboat dinner at 天外天 mala steamboat restaurant

ok this is ah ma hehe

We ordered yuan1 yang1 steamboat as u can see... BUT no one dare to touch the mala side after 1 bite!!! LOL

So wat do i think of the food....

GREAT! lol. i mean my JELLY!!! LOL

Day 2 - Lunch at Din Tai Fung, shopping at Wufenpu, went to Taipei 101 and had our dinner at Raohe Night Market

Smelly beancurd... ah ma cant resist the temptation to try it before we take the photo!

These mini burgers are really delicious!!

Oh look at our purchase in wufenpu tat day!! How can we survive without MY pram??!?!??! LOL

Day 3 - Brunch at Modern Toilet Restaurant, shop again at Wufenpu(didnt manage to cover it the previous day!) and went Shilin Night Market to shop and for dinner

The modern toilet restaurant is not disgustingly decorated though they used toilet bowls as the chair and bathtub with a glass on top of it as the table for our meals hehe

Ok now, this may looks disgusting.. but this is NOT a toilet bowl where u do your business lol. its a wash basin where u wash your hands after coming out from the toilet. see the tap there on the toilet bowl cover?? hehe

Ok here comes the food...lets just look at yiyi's food... japanese curry in a toilet bowl. eeekkks... wondering y she order curry in toilet bowl??? LOL

Anyone notice the niao4 hu2?? lol. its yiyi's drink... n yes she is suppose to just drink from it! But she can bring this niao4 hu2 home cos she paid extra for it whahahhahaa.

Enjoying my toilet lunch! LOL

Mummy... can i eat my ice cream now??? (ice cream in squatting toilet bowls lol)

Shilin Night Market

The most popular chicken chop in shilin night market...

Omg look at the queue!!!

This is how big it is! BUT i can finish it MYSELF!! big appetite toddler! LOL. its really delicious!!! So much so tat after 1, yiyi cannot resist to get another one whahhahaa. so in all, we bought 3! 1 to share at first.. then 1 for me and 1 more for yiyi after trying the first one LOL

Mummy's fav! Mien2 mien2 bing1. very mien2 (cottony) lol. cant feel any ice.. melt in the mouth! I love it too!

Another of mummy's fav... too bad i cant get to taste it as mummy says its too spicy for me!

Day 4 - Breakfast at Yong He Soy Milk King, shop at Taipei Underground Mall and went Tamsui (Lovers' Bridge and Fisherman Wharf) for seafood dinner

Really Yummy!! yiyi n ah ma went to try to sg version of yong he dou jiang. (there is 1 at geylang) but they say its not nice at all! hehe

Danshui.. the view we saw from the station! really pretty n such a nice weather!

We went at a really good timing! Manage to shop a bit in danshui old street then head towards the habour to get a ferry across to see the lover's bridge! On our way there, the sun started to set so we were able to get real pretty sunset photos from the ferry! Mummy has planned to reach the lovers' bridge before sunset so that we can take sunset photos on the bridge itself but it seems like the sunset photos taken on the ferry is much much nicer! hehe.

Day 5 - Lunch at Party World and bye taipei!

(this photo is taken at night though lol)

The party world in taipei are all VERY big! Those that mummy knows of are all a stand alone building like this. It looks like a hotel inside! very high class and huge! N most importantly.. its VERY CHEAP!! lol. the food is very nice as well. Every KTV rm has its own toilets too!

Have a duet with mummy before flying back to japan!

It was drizzling most of the time during this trip but we did not miss anything since the rain is not strong enough to cause any harm hehe. On the day of the danshui visit, the weather was very very fine! We were so lucky! However, it rained very very heavily on the day we left.. anyway we lost nothing as well since we had already planned to go for KTV in party world tat day hehe.

Of cos, we bought lots of things! lol. ah ma n yiyi too!!

Mummy's loot

My loot!!

Flying back to japan...

The trip was rather short but fun. very very super tiring for me though... cos these ladies enjoyed their night market shopping so much that they only reach hotel around midnight or even after! so most of the days i actually KO outside in my pram...( usually KO around 10pm cos i skipped my naps too hehe) n then didnt manage to wake up after going back to hotel thus mummy transferred me to the bed n i continue to sleep through the night LOL. mummy misses the trip alot after returning back to japan. We took LOTS of photos lol. but its rather impossible to see all here... so add us on facebook! lol.

PS: mummy took a whole 2 hrs to update this page!! Now its time to go to sleep... update the rest of this blog tmr! (daddy is in taipei now for business trip so mummy has this pc for herself thus she better finish updating all the post!! LOL) ive long been in my dreamland though....hehe
