Taipei 101 & Shihlin Night Market

Fine, I shall blog about my most recent Taiwan trip!

Totally lost my motivation to blog after the long break. The only thing that drives me to blog right now is other bloggers’ page which are filled with beautiful photos taken during their holiday trips. I’m like heck I didn’t take those photos for nothing! Have to publish it here for all my effort! Hiak hiak.

Let’s start off with a vain photo of me! Meep.

Initially it was only Stepf and I, but later on like just a week before the trip, Wing decided to join us.

The great thing about winter is we can dress up in trench coat and boots without being labeled as insane/lala. In Malaysia it is summer all year long I can’t even wear my leather jacket without sweating like a dog!

From left: Gimmy, Michael, Wing, Tung, Hsiangkai, Guwang 鼓王 (looks like he’s stuck with this stupid nickname) and Stepf right infronta XiMenDing 西门町 MRT station.

Taipei wasn’t our first stop. But I figured I should blog about it first in case I lost my inspiration after blogging on KaoHsiung, Taichung and Tainan. Wtfreak.

Taiwan is not all about street food you see. Our Taipei tour guide, Tung who is very atas brought us to this Café Tamagoya 蛋蛋屋during which I tasted some yummy 猪排蛋包饭!My Taiwan posts will be filled with Chinese words. Sorry if you’re a banana T.T

Tea time at 绿盖茶馆 which was located inside a book shop.

Guess what we had?

That wasn’t beer but green tea which was topped with a layer of sour cream. Whoever came out with the combination must be a genius!

Their famous signature dish.

The waiter asked if I wanted lesser or more red wine. I thought that was a dumb question to ask :P

IMG_5728

Then my brownie tasted so wineish! Still yummy though.

IMG_5729

Indulgence! :)

IMG_5737

We tried to take so many photos with Taipei 101 but most of them turned out blur. This is the best we got. Oh well.

IMG_5748

Funny how the traffic light turned red and formed a heart shape in this photo! Teehee.

IMG_5766

Yesh we could really see that Chinese New Year is drawing close.

IMG_5779

Ireland Potato which they claimed was better than those in Malaysia.

IMG_5781

I couldn’t judge though, since I hadn’t tried in Malaysia. It’s rather expensive though for just a few sticks of fries.

Taipei 101.

Longchamp was the first shop right after the entrance!

IMG_5796

Didn’t go up to the highest floor cause we were too kiam siap cause it was too foggy that night and we wouldn’t have a nice view of the city. So we decided to proceed to Shihlin night market 士林夜市.

IMG_5800

We can haz giant sausages!

IMG_5806

And tiny ones as well XD

IMG_5807

葱油饼。

IMG_5805

胡椒饼。

In Taiwan there’s always this sticky soup thingy which was called , either 肉焿,鱿鱼焿 or this one that we had called du duo yu (cannot find the Chinese words grrr I give up!).

IMG_5819

Of all the food we had, guess what the best was?

My hair! O.o
