Taiwan Trip, Part 4

We finally arrive at 淡水!






Map of 淡水

Streets along 淡水老街:-




















It was drizzling and mad cold, especially this area is near to the sea/water or something.
I thought we are going to die there, seriously!
And the most stupid thing is that, we thought we could walk to the 渔人码头, but it was so far away!
Lucky I manage to spot this:-


We took the 红26 and it reaches our destination within minutes!

Snaps of 淡水渔人码头:-












And we saw this as well, 情人桥:-




We didn't manage walk it either.
It was far far too cold, that we wanted to hit inside the shelter at that moment.
Toilet would be the best warmest place at the moment, despite it being stinky!

Decide to get some warm comfty food to feel better!


鸡排


鸡排和香菇


Happily savoring his food!


Before we know it, we are on our way back to 淡水 station already.

We decide to roam around this area before we head back.
A lot of things to see and shop, that we didn't took a lot of pictures! Too busy!

But let me present to you, George favorite buy of the day:-




Strawberries coated with honey!
Absolute slurps! Their strawberry is damn good, seriously!
We could never get enough of it totally!

Walk around, see see look look, bought a couple of stuffs and back to hotel.

Dinner of the day:-


Buy 1 get 1 free, and I was charged for NTD110 only.
Which is appox less than $5 for both! So cheap.

AND..
our 1st bubble tea of the day!


50 Lan also know as Koi here!!!

AND...


Cut fruits we bought back from 淡水!
So cheap only, only NTD 100 for all 3 packets! Damn sweets and declious!

Look at how this dude is enjoying himself! :D

:D
Update again soon!

Huals of the Week

Last week wasn't a very good week for me.
Too many stuffs happening all around, the stress and all.
Retail therapy did make me feel a teeny weeny bit happier!

I have a small meet-up with Eden.
The fellow just got back from Korea and I was overwhelmed with gifts!
I felt just like a little kid, overjoyed with new stuffs that she had on hand.

My tiny Korea loots.


Just 6 items, I suppose I still classified them as tiny! :x

From Left to Right:-
Laneige Snow BB Cream
Laneige Multiberry Yogurt Repair Pack
Baviphat Mango Brightening Mask
Baviphat Green Apple All-in-One Peeling Gel
Baviphat Strawberry Toxifying Mask
Baviphat Apple AC Thrapy Sleeping Pack

Hope I can do a small review after trying! :D

And I have to say, the Koreans are super generous with their samples!
Look what I have!!


TOOOOOOO MUCHHHH!
You tell me, since when a SG BA will give you so much one?
I don't quite remember of any lor, seriously.
Tsk.

And a little bit of gifts from Bud.





New BB cream, cute teddy bear from the teddy bear museum and a box of chocolate which I have yet to open.
So thoughtful!
Thank you, Eden! :D

It was John Little sales that day!
I was flipping thru what was on offer and I wanna to get this:-


It was on 1 for 1 offer!

But then by the time I reach, it was out of stock already.

But still, I left John Little with no empty handed.
Signs of shopaholic.
Tsk!


From Left to Right:-
Essential Hair Essence for Smooth & Manageable Hair
Hakubi White C2 Pills
L'egere BB Cream Trial Promotion Set
Dejavu Lash Knockout Mascara
Principle Nutrition Cranberry Pills

It all good buys lor, really!
20% off everything, the cranberry pills got 30%!
And all necessary, or so I assume. :P

The point is being happy what! *hides*

Then I remember that I heard the Twitter babes talking about the MM's new launch.
And I can't resist to stop by Watson to take a look at it.
And yah, I can't resist picking up to put inside my handbag.
Tsk tsk.




Majolica Puff de Cheeks in Peach Macaroon

There no reason why I could say NO and resist this one.
Such a cute packaging, too hard to resist.
Well, girls are always like this, no?!


And what the worst thing that could happen?
Watson Private Members sales with MM having 20% + 10% off, including new items as well, on the VERY NEXT DAY!
WTF!

And so I went to the sales, and I didn't come out empty handed.
WTF X2!



From Left to Right:-
Hemes Eye Masks
Hemes 24Hr Hydrating Cream
Acnes Medicated Sealing Jell
MM Puff de Cheek
Pearlie White Toothpaste
Sato Hakubi Drinks and Pills set

It was relatively a very good sales, seriously, as compared to the last sales.
Everything on my shopping list was on discount lor!
20% + 10% for all, expect 50% off for the toothpaste.
The Sato set was a steal totally, I definately paid more than $30% off! The whole set is like $59 only!
Can you imagine?


All the loots. Poor pockets, but a happy Lynnie.


Is it really worth it?

Taiwan Trip, Part 3

第二天
Day Two




Cam-whore before going out


Streets of 西门町 in the morning


Had breakfast in this shop


Tokens to see what is missing from the table


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


烫青菜
Very different from what we had here.
Our is always topped with oyster sauce, but in Taiwan, is with meat sauce and meat bits. Nice.


牛肉饭
Baby's.


He's enjoying himself totally!


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.


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!


肯德基 in the morning


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.


Arrived at 龙山寺


Fake waterfall


Walking into the temple










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.









Before we decided to visit this place.


Heritage and Culture Center





























Our next location.


Able to guess where? :P


On the bus towards our destination


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!







And EPIC fails pictures of us with it! LOL.




I think my face look damn fat and bloated lor.
Look at my dbl chin!! :( *cries*


Bought our tickets and off we go! *Excited*


Inside the ferris wheel's cabin...
















Had tons of fun on top with Baby! :)
Glad that the windows of the cabin was all closed up, cos it was freezing when we got off the cabin!

Went to the basement and grab some snacks!






Love very delicious on pictures, but it is very so-so only.


Happy face with snacks and green tea latte to ease away the cold! :D

We headed to 淡水 next!
Will blog in next post.

Till then again,
Lynnie :)
