Yang Ming Shan

We took the bus from Jian Tan station to Yang Ming Shan. To be honest, I'm half confidence and half unsure where we should stop. But it seem like there's a lot of uncles and aunties in their sport attire and walking stick sitting in the same bus with us.

By the time we reach here is about 8am and the wind is wosshing..... causing chill down my spine.

It is REALLY cold!!!

I don't understand the map at all

there's bus heading upward

We don't really know which way to go so instead we just sit down and have a good hot breakfast before heading to unknown destination. 

 竹笋 (Bamboo shoots), 芋头 (taro) , 番薯  (Sweet potato)
My mom love the bamboo shoots, she say it's so fresh and crunchy.
I love the sweet potato more, it's just so soft and fluffy and sweet

Too bad I didn't get a good shot of the sweet potato.

We only know that Taiwan is promoting flower season here but I didn't see any flowers. So we just went along with the crowd to see what is in front.

Xi Men Ting to Shilin Night Market

 A must come and try. If you never try Ay-Chung Flour Rice Noddle, you can't never say you come to Xi Men Ting.

Another landmark mostly visited by tourist

 it start to rain in the evening, so we went back early

 A night walk at shilin night market for dinner

It's quite popular here about frog eggs but I found it nothing special really.
But one thing amaze me is when I try to pay him,
"Just put the money on the counter........"
If this happen in Malaysia, all the money would be gone in split second....swoofffffffff........gone $$$$

Taipei 101


A landmark where all the tourist must come and see

By the time we reach here about 10.50am and we try to place order for the food but the counter say "so sorry, it's not 11am yet. Please order later"
So take note in future, Taiwan mostly operate after 11am.

My curry rice. Not as nice as the one I try at Xi Men Ting.
NTD 269
see the black round thing on the table? It's a device where the counter will trigger it to vibrate telling you the food is ready to be collected from them. Cool....

overall........nice food

On the way to observatory 

 LV, Gucci, Prada, Dior

 One of the shop at 5th floor


 amazing workmanship

I love this but it cost...........
NTD 68800000

Breakfast at Shilin

Trying to find my way to breakfast shop

It's windy and drizzling......so cold in the morning

Instant drinks. Coffee, tea, soya......You may have it in cold or hot. Just heat it using Microwave. Unlike Malaysia have to wait for them to make it

Stupid water bottle cap loosen and water spilled on me.
