Taiwan Trip, Part 5


第三天
Third Day


265
Dress up and all ready for the day now! :D

Cannot decide what to have for breakfast and we decided to try the KFC 肯德基 here!

266
We ordered a set each!

267
燒饼和粥
The 粥 is really good! It was topped with chicken floss which is absolutely the best combination ever.
How come Singapore don't have? :(

268
At KFC also must cam-whore. Tsk.

And I really love how people of Taiwan people practice to recycle, even in a fast food restaurant.

270

271
Even provide diagrams to education native people like us what can be and what cannot be recycled.
Super organized right?

273
Happy us with a full and bloated tummy. Satisfied!!

And we off to our next location.
Guess where?

We are going to the ZOO ZOO ZOO.
How about YOU YOU YOU? :D


Yah, we visited the Taipei Zoo!

279
NTD 30 only! Is like less than $1.50 in SG??!!
So cheap please! And the entrance ticket is so damn cute lor!

280
The entrance is so cute lor!
So colorful and cheerful looking, in a kids' kind of view.
I am still a kid what!

282
And I finally see sun, despite the fact that I can't open my eyes.

And we manage to catch the infamous panda!

284
This is Yuan Yuan 圆圆, who is so greedily constantly eating up in the tress.

287
And this is Tuan Tuan 團 團, who is so lazy and constantly sleeping.
Refuse to see us some more. So upset that it didn't want to take a pic with me. :(

289
Spotted this at the Panda Gift store.
But George refused to let me buy it! :(
But actually not very cheap, it cost like more than SGD 10! :(

290
So many so many pandas.
我要!!

We visited the whole zoo, but I think I will just post some interesting ones and not bored you with all the animals pictures.
But actually, most of the animals are sleeping and so unfriendly to us! :(

307
The whole lots of vending machines!

308
Our drinks from the machines, Milk Tea and Grape Juice.

314
These machines are able to vend our packs of biscuits like that.
So cute~

309

311
Cam-whore with the black pig sausages which cost only SGD 0.90.
A very different kind of texture as compared to those we get here.
This is so much softer! Maybe cos it more fresh as well! :)

312
The camel who is posing for me.

315

316
Ireland's Potato.
Eat again. :P

317
I'm straving, I want to eat!
So cute.

319

318
Honey Mustard Fries!

325
Lovely flowers

327
This is damn cute
The little bird standing on top of the bull and the bull just let it be.

329
The Penguin Gift Shop.

And we discover this..

292

293
Rainwater Pump
And the last sentence stated that we are not suppose to play with it as this is not suppose to be a toy!

But look at all these kids...

334

335

336
They had so much playing with it and even snatched for it. :O
HAHA!

338
Frog House

340
With the big turtle!

344
Bright orangry cheerful looking tram

345
Must cam-whore when we are in it.
MUAHAHAHAHHA!

346
A picture of us at the entrance to mark the end of the journey at Taipei Zoo! :)

Then we head to take the 貓空!
It is a place on top of the mountain, that you had to take a cable car up. The cable car is much more longer and higher as compared to Singapore's. A very different kind of feeling when you are up there, compared to the city. It very peaceful, very quiet here. You can gradually feel your movements here also slower down. Very relaxing with fresh air and nice scenery.

I don't have a lot of pictures to share, afters as the camera battery is showing the red sign. :(

347
The tickets to take the 貓眼之灠, which is actually their cable car.
And look at the tickets! They look s much like our old school MRT cards!!

After we got on the ride!

348

350

351

We are in the cable with another 2 couples, which are friends. There is this guy who is damn funny! He was very chatty at first, but as the ride go further and higher, he stopped talking altogether, and looked damn serious! Turned out that he afraid of heights and start to feel stress as the cable car went higher and higher. HAHA! So cute.

AND FINALLY... we reached!!

352

353
We had some tea and snacks here.
We didn't roam around much. As per the guide, there are like 20 to 30 overs restaurants over the area. I just decided to go for this, cos I like the name. :)

355
A very aromatic place totally.

354
Do you want to have some tea? :)

356
The view out of our private cabin. It like evening time, and the set is setting off.
Generally, the sun set in Taiwan is so much faster as compare to Singapore. When it was like 6 plus, it is completely dark already. Look like 8 plus in Singapore.

358
Super yummy 小笼包!
Very nice and super cheap. I remember it was just merely a few dollars only!

359
Happy us! :)

And off we go.... back to the city!

361
A night view of Taipei to end our 貓空 journey!

We headed to 五分埔 next. A balance of culture and shopping day! HAHA!
No pictures of it for you. It was quite squeeze with tons of people that day. If you had been to BKK, this look just to the weekend market, but of wider street. But it so dangerous, cos anytime a motorbike can just come into the street. And they are so reckless! They just want to bang thru at the fastest speed that they can. So if you are not careful, you will probably injure yourself.

363
臭豆腐 from 五分埔 while we taking a short break.

It was quite tiring trying to walk though the whole place. And the thing wasn't very cheap. I even spotted inspired bags that are selling like a few hundred SGD there! Didn't bought a lot and we decide to leave for dinner!

We decide to have our dinner here!

370
Formosa Chang, 胡须张卤肉饭
I was secretly if the shop has anything to do with 张菲 a not. The logo look exactly like him! HAHA!

365
卤肉饭
George took the rice and ask me, did you really order 卤肉饭? Or you order 卤 fats 饭? -.-!

366
豆腐 AGAIN! :D

367
玉米雞丝浓湯

369
Check out how much he is enjoying his rice! :D

Will blog about Day 4 and 5 soon!
Till then again,
Lynnie <3
