Ximen Walker, Wufenpu & Yangmingshan

In Taipei, there was one night when we stayed up and played Mafia until daybreak. Our initial plan of going to 酒粪 九份 had to be postponed, or more precise, canceled since we didn’t get to visit that place after all. We slept for 2 hours, woke up for breakfast then went back to sleep again T.T

It was evening by the time we got ready to head off to 五分浦, a wholesale heaven where you can get clothes at dirt cheap prices!

Photobucket

Dinner at 胡须张 where we get to taste the best 鲁肉饭 in Taiwan!

Photobucket

The guys.

Photobucket

And the girls. Kaka.

Photobucket

Yummiest鲁肉饭 with such soft and juicy meat!

Photobucket

Why don’t we have such tasty鲁肉饭 back here?? I would probably order it for lunch everyday till I’m sick of it! XD

卤猪脚。

Photobucket

青菜。

Photobucket

豆腐。

Photobucket

If I could remember correctly, that meal costs only NTD60 per person. Damn cheap since some of them even ordered a double serving of rice!

And that is 五分浦! The one and only photo I took while I was there. I don’t need to further elaborate what we did there, do I?

Photobucket

Towards the end of the night, there was this male shopkeeper who asked if we were selling clothes or we really did buy that much of stuff! That was something ought to be proud of, considering we managed to grab ourselves so many spring clothes even though 98% of the stuff selling there are winter wear. I could already picturing myself hauling back a new luggage if we were to go during spring or summer!

After all that shopping madness, we quickly rushed back to the hotel and got dressed to hit the club! It was rather cold outside so I couldn’t go out with my skimpy club wear, but I wanted to save the trouble of taking off my pants in the club, hence the trench coat without pants perverted flasher look! *ashamed*

Photobucket

Met Bernard who travelled all the way from Kao Hsiung just to club with us, who then travelled all the way back there for work just a few hours after we left the club. Wtfreak. The bullet train (高铁) fares must have cost about NTD3000+?

Photobucket

New leopard print dress (which made me look rather slutty) from 五分浦!

Photobucket

The rest of the incidents occurred that night is for us to know and for you to imagine. Neh you don’t need to imagine that Stepf got drunk and puked in Michael’s new shoes cause I am already telling you this. HAHAHAHA oops that just slipped out, please don’t kill me, Stepf!

Photobucket

Oh, I freaking paid NTD800 upon entry! Good thing the money spent was worthwhile since we had fun. The club and crowd was nothing too cina like I imagined. LOL.

Porridge the morning after noon after cause Stepf was still sick and her weak stomach could not tolerate anything oily.

Photobucket

皮蛋瘦肉粥。

Photobucket

I think she’s quite stupid for not realizing that 油条was extremely oily. When I told her she was like oops, never mind la; after which she continued eating her oily 油条! -.- FHL no wonder she never got well.

Photobucket

Wandering around 西门町。

Photobucket

Guess who was there? Wilber Pan 潘玮柏!!!

Photobucket

At first I thought it was a small time unpopular singer having a promotional campaign since it was THAT crowded. If潘玮柏 were to come to Malaysia, I think the place would be so packed all you could see is young girls screaming while pulling each others’ hair. Tsk tsk.

Photobucket

Meet my new boyfriend. Don’t we look compatible? Hiak hiak.

Photobucket

We passed through Ximen Walker everyday when we were in Taipei. By the way, I was joking about the new boyfriend if you’re still scratching your head thinking why I’m dating a Taiwanese!

Photobucket

I had a voucher for free cake from our last visit at Tamagoya, so we dropped by while waiting for Tung.

Photobucket

Wing ended up ordering a giant toast thingy.

Photobucket

Looked so perfectly beautiful.

Photobucket

Still looked good after 2 cuts.

Photobucket

But not until it became like this! I was already full just by the sight of it. And we imagine it being Stepfanie’s barf. Yikes!

Photobucket

Wafer which looked so so much better.

Photobucket

Ready to travel up to the mountain for hot spring! It was so stupid how we took the wrong bus which was going towards the opposite route! Had to get off and took the MRT to Taipei station to wait for another bus again. And that wasn’t all. When we got off from the bus, we had to walk a long distance up the mountain under the drizzles because apparently the bus doesn’t go to the top! Jeez.

Photobucket

Finally reached 阳明山. Thank goodness for my scarf!

Photobucket

来台湾一定要泡温泉噢!

Photobucket

Weeeeeeeeeet sexay ladies in smoking hot tub!

Photobucket

I know I looked like apunene bangali with that disgusting hairdo. Please pardon me cause I couldn’t find even one rubber hand from my bag :(

Photobucket

Have to come up of the water every 5-10 minutes to prevent ourselves from fainting.

Photobucket

My awesome camera made me look devilish in this photo.

Photobucket

And angelic in the next! LOL. These two photos are non-edited. Wonder how the magic hot spring turned the photos that way. Could it be my good and bad conscience appearing one after another? Shocking.

Photobucket

After the wonderful one hour spent in the 鸳鸯汤屋 (it felt more like 20 minutes O.o), it was time for some nice BBQ meat!

A restaurant called The Top!

Photobucket

It must be opened by my husband! Hiak hiak.

Photobucket

Beautiful night view from The Top. Because anything associated with Top is beautiful XD

Photobucket

Couldn’t wait for our 烤肉!

Photobucket

Yogurt salad.

Photobucket

Mushroom and stuff which tasted so good after being barbequed.

Photobucket

Some tuna liver-liked appetizer.

Photobucket

This is so Korean style. Now I’m certain it was my husband’s restaurant. Kaka.

Photobucket

They even served Bibimbab! Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I told you!

Photobucket

BBQ beef is ze best!

Photobucket

Seafood.

Photobucket

Blogging about this makes me drool. We couldn’t have enough of the food that night.

There was no spoon so we scooped our soup with the scallop shell. *smart*

Photobucket

Stepf and I looking all red and hot after the BBQ.

Photobucket

Sweet tropical fruits.

Photobucket

It was so cold and windy at the mountain top restaurant, we stayed indoor with the glass shut close at ALL time.

Photobucket

The beautifully designed lavatory.

Photobucket

If it weren’t the weather, I would have stayed longer to camho in the toilet.

Photobucket

Last but not least, 围绕取暖炉集体尿尿!HAHA.

Photobucket

Surprisingly that was the first, and probably the only public heater I saw throughout my stay in Taiwan. I kinda expected every restaurant to have it. But perhaps it’s not necessary, since most places there aren’t that cold after all.

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.

IMG_5630

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

IMG_5640

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!

IMG_5598

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.

IMG_5602

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

IMG_5607

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

IMG_5623

Guess what we had?

IMG_5633

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!

IMG_5639

Guys simply love white stuff on their mouth!

IMG_5642

And white stuff on the mouth made me excited wtf.

IMG_5646

Harooo it’s ushh again!

IMG_5653

Big Tom dessert place near the 国父纪念馆。

IMG_5715

LOL check out the cow hat waiter!

IMG_5718

Their famous signature dish.

IMG_5722

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.

IMG_5785

Taipei 101.

IMG_5788

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。

IMG_5811

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

Little Miss Marc

It’s been more than half a month. I must be the worst blogger this year. Tsk tsk.

I was back from my 2-week-long trip from Taiwan on 25th. Bought lesser than I expected due to my overweight luggage. Now to think about it, I should have gone wit an empty one. Jeez.

Taiwan is great by the way. The weather was tolerable since it wasn’t THAT cold throughout our stay. I’m missing those days when we can simply walk on the street to get food in small quantity but a huge variety.

Back in Muar now for Chinese New Year. Won’t be back to KL until perhaps Valentine’s Day? Or maybe later than that if no one asked me out by then :(

Little Miss Marc which I stumbled upon today.

IMG_6197

Fake one! Teehee.

More photos on FB! :)

New Year Eve @ Sher's Mansion

How did you spend your New Year eve? Instead of driving ourselves nuts with the massive jam in the city where everyone gathered for count down, we decided to have a house party at Shereen’s new place. Seriously, it’s like a dream house with spacious beautiful interior and a nice swimming pool. It was my first time seeing Katie ever since she got back from Melbourne a week ago, and Jess after we had both been so busy with work and stuff, and not forgetting those wonderful peeps whom we met during our last Melbourne trip!

Katie, Sher and I camwhoring in her princessy room.

IMG_3865

Chilling before the party.

IMG_3876

Full length mirror FTW!

IMG_3879

We sang a little in the karaoke room while waiting for the rest of the people.

IMG_3884

My bitchy babe.

IMG_3889

We didn’t want to wet ourselves, but it would be a waste to not use the pool, so we dipped our feet in and enjoyed the cool water. Except that it kinda itched my legs after I got up from the pool. Could it be low tolerance and high sensitivity towards the chlorine substance?

IMG_3890

From left: Kim, Sher, Jean, Katie, Jess and I.

IMG_3893

The guys had their poker talk while we were dipping in the pool.

IMG_3896

Jess and the big-headed me.

IMG_3899

The girls again, with Yang in the background looking surprised over a conversation.

IMG_3902

I must say that Sher and I have really similar hair. It was funny how her younger sister mistook me as Sher, hugged me and called me jie and only realized it when her mum told her she got the wrong person. Awkward moment XD

IMG_3904

Jess and I again.

IMG_3928

Last but not least, the three of us.

IMG_3914

It’s a shame that Katie is doing her internship in Melbourne and could only be back for 2 weeks. And now that Jess is a full-time auditor, she can’t possibly abandon her work and come back on week days. There’s barely any chance for the three of us to be together, which is why we really cherish every moment whenever our girls are around.

It might be a whole new year, but our bonds shall remain the same. Even though we aren’t able to meet up often, I know both of you are the people I can always count on. Happy new year, I love you babes! :)
