Tokens to see what is missing from the table

102
牛蒡丝
Love this.
A very refreshing and crunchy taste.

103

105
牛肉饭
Baby's.

110
He's enjoying himself totally!

107
牛肉粉
Mine.
Love the soup totally. I actually want a thinner kind of noodles, but I got this tang-hoon alike noodles.
Not bad I would say.

109
Our breakfast, with a cup of 奶茶 each.
Not exactly the cheapest meal thou, cost about S$10 plus for the whole meal, but fulfilling totally.
Huge portion and so full afters!

112
肯德基 in the morning

114
Love the babies on the MRT poster

After breakfast, we decided to go visit and do some praying at one of the temples in Taipei.

Despite the fact that we visit the temple on a weekday morning, but it was hell packed with so much people doing their prayers.
It just show how popular the temple is, isn't it?

Roaming streets around the temple.

Able to guess where? :P

163
On the bus towards our destination

166
The ferris wheel. Familiar now?
Yah, we are at 美丽华!
If you been looking at Taiwan drama series, this is the place where 换换爱 is being film! :D

The location of this shopping mall away from 西门町 and there a sense of calmness and peacefulness all around. A total different feeling altogether.

And the legendary ferris wheels!

Taiwan Trip, Part 2

Continuing..
Our very 1st stop, to look for food and we spotted this..

59

57
阿忠面线
Even if you never been to Taiwan before, I bet you also had heard for this.
This is so ultra famous and is packed with people, that we have to queue and give it a try as well!

61
Big bowl for George on the left, while I had the smaller bowl.
It about NTD20 different in cost, roughly about an dollar.
This is damn good stuff seriously, MUST TRY!
Unlike those in Singapore with oysters, this is with pig intestines. But fret not, it has no stinky feeling or anything and a non-pork lover can, like me, take it as well! Absolutely delicious.

62
Look at his happy face with his bowl of mee sua! :D

63
Still so many people after we finish eating.

60
The streets of 西门町

64

65
地瓜球
Cheap and yummy!

We decide to visit some night market and hence we proceed to the Metro station...

66
Tickets to get into the train!
So cute and is damn light, like now arcade games token.
So every time we purchase the ticket, George will go: Here come a new challenger! LOL.

67

69
Taking the Metro train

71
And this is my next location: 士林夜士
Love they have signboards in both English and Chinese wordings that allows to understand better, not everyone understand Chinese fully.

73
士林Food Market

74
1st dish: 鸟蛋
The egg is being cooked like takopachi style, and serve with soy sauce and pepper.
George like it a lot!

75
This drinks stall have been featured on Taiwan variety show so many times that I recognize it on the spot immediately when I saw it!

78
白苦瓜 is spotted almost everywhere, but I never dare to try it!

82
Random 街口

79
We decided to settle down at 大头龙 to have a quick bite.

Guess what we had?
85

86

87
蛤仔煎
This is different from we had we had here.
The sauce on top of the egg, plus the bigger size of oysters! Absolutely delicious.
Blogging about this make me hungry totally!

83
Happy us! <3
