Taipeinology Day 3

Day 3 in Taipei...and I'm not missing home...
hmm..Troy yes...but with all the
good food..nice pretty people...
the weather...cool but no rain....haiz...

everything just seems so wonderful



Started our day with simple breakfast...
mince meat noodles..meatball soup
and Taiwanese carrot cake..!


Our accommodation actually includes breakfast...
But we chose to savor over local food over there :)
So we actually wasted like $40 worth of breakfast...
But its all worth it!



贡丸汤




Taiwanese Carrot cake





Mince meat noodles..
Didn't eat this cos u see...bean sprouts!!!..EEeeee!!!



After strolling past XMD once again...
with the shops opening for business...fresh air...
and a cup of bubble tea in hand...

we proceed to Taipei 101..






Love this shot to bits!!













At the 91st floor of Taipei 101..
On normal days, this floor is not open to public..
but i did not know what special occasion was that on the day we went...
so we were lucky enough to be able to go onto the 91st floor...
Breezy cold......






Haha...a tourist shot is a must la!!!


After 101, we had a quick lunch at the "orchard" of taipei..
known as "东区"





Pass by some major shopping malls in Taipei city...
stop to shop for my chanel and gucci...:)






Yes..enough of bags...(only for a short while)..hee!
Into accessories for the moment..and shoes!!!
But actually Chanel bags are more exp over there..
so not worth buying from there!!


The rest of the day were spent loitering around the city area..
went back to our humble abode for a break..
hmm..toilet break...
i didn't visit any public toilet throughout my

stay there....hah!!

In the evening..we took the mrt again to another nite market..
This time to Shih Da Nite market...

Some of you might not have been there as its not as famous as Shih Lin...
but its damn crowded and famous for the locals cos its just
beside a university
and...the food there is so tasty that
the crowd there is like 2x more than
Shih Lin...
with queues forming along almost every stall in the market...


What's more...the market houses alot of famous taiwanese
bloshop
and they are selling their items at online prices in their
brick and mortar shops...

reminds me of far east or haji lane over there...


Sorry no pixs..cos busy squeezing thru the crowd...
In the end we "da bao" our dinner back to our hotel instead..



BBQ Honey coated mix...
sausages...internal organs...chicken....
Sweet!!!




Deep-fried Mix..
Chicken chops..squids...ribs...
Gosh..mix with garlic..shallot oil and
spicy peppery powder...
