Taipei - Day 3

Day 3 @ Taipei (6-10May2011)

Today woke up at a later time, only went out around 11plus..
And first stop before we head to Wu Fen Pu, is to get our breakfast done and so we decided to have it nearby.
Walked and walked, not that easy to find this place as you have to cut in to the alley.
Finally we get to this Modern Toilet Restaurant ! Sounds cool ? Believe most of you have heard it before right ?

I am so happy when we get to this restaurant because was expected to have my meals at Hello Kitty's restaurant and Jay Chou's restaurant but miss it for both on the day 2.
At last a themed restaurant for me to enjoy my meals. :D
The exterior and interior of the restaurants look so cute right !

The sits are all toilet bowl. And we are sitting on the toilet bowl to have our meals !
Yeas, food are all serve with toilet bowl, bathtub and many more.... CUTE CUTE CUTE !
Baby and I ordered the Curry chicken rice and Hokkaido Milk Steamboat.
Is too much for me to finish the whole big bowl myself for breakfast so didn't ate finish.

The Hokkaido Milk steamboat sounds special but the taste is too milky and it turn out a bit blend as normally steamboat soup taste is different.
If you are a milk lover, i guess you will love this then..
And together with our set meal, we have free soft serve ice cream and drinks. :D
















Toilet bowl seats !




Words write by the guest is placed below the table.




I love this milk tea taste !

Curry Chicken Rice




While eating, i suddenly saw this weird thing in my bowl so asked the waitress what is that.
Thought it was some weird fishball but it ended up a "Tangyuan" ! My favorite eh !
I love the texture ! QQ , Chewy Chewy
Just realize that Taipei quite many things are chewy chewy related stuff like their TangYuan, Pearl, muah chee is quite commonly seen there.

YUMMY !




















After that we walked a while and Xi Men Ding then cabbed to Wu Fen Pu (wholesales place that sell a lot stuffs that you can see in Bugis Street or Far East Plaza).
Quite lost when we first stepped in and actually the price not much different compared to Singapore as they are cheaper only if you buy it in a bunk.
BUT there is this small stretch outside almost every shop which sell at NT100(around SGD 5) !

At first, i bought a few clothes inside those shop but when i start to walk further down, i start to be smarter to look at those cheaper clothes instead because if you search it, you will actually find clothes, dress, shorts that sell so much cheaper than Singapore.
To me, i feel that if the clothes sell the same price as Singapore, then no point buying at overseas.

We continually walked for around 3hours but is like never ending.
And bags is getting more and more, heavier and heavier.... until i don't feel like shopping when i look at the whole load of stuffs that me and my baby are holding.
I am too afraid that i overspent, so i decided to stop shopping and get back to the hotel to leave our stuffs. Calculated and realized that i only spent SGD $ 200+ with all those clothes.
Probably, i should have get some of the clothes that i eyed on....




Almost all their shop have bunch of clothes on the floor because is wholesales ! :D




A shop owner actually bring me to this nearest toilet which only their own people able to use but i dun know what to say when i see all this.
Got no choice but to use the toilet, is really dirty !



And dessert time ! :DDD




Taste quite alright, with pearl peanut that they put is kind of not use to it.






$200++ for all this ! :D


We rested a while at the hotel then we went out again to Taipei City Hall Station, underground mall !
This time to get those famous pastry which i did a research..
I saw this sticky and soft sweets, which taste a bit like nougat but is more chewy than the normal nougat which are crunchy. I bought it because i love the taste, a bit like the rabbit sweet.






It somehow look like nougat but soft texture and with rabbit sweet taste.




And finally i found the Li Yi Pastry shop which sell this popular Tai Yang Bing.
Normally people who went overseas to Taiwan will get this Tai Yang Bing back !
It taste like Wife Pastry(Lao Po Bing) just that Tai Yang Bing have malt filling while Wife Pastry have melon seeds filling.

While doing research, i heard that this shop's Tai Yang Bing is good so i went to try and i really love it ! The pastry skin have enough buttery taste and the filling is soft and sweet even you keep if for few weeks.
I recommend you guys to get this if you went to Taipei. :)






Remember to get this yeas !!! :D this brand is really nice


Then we continue walking and saw this Amo cake shop which was also one of the shop that i researched on.
And i did went to one of the outlet but almost all the cake were sold out due to Mother Day but luckily this outlet still left with a few different kind.
Quite many people crowded at the shop and they seems to be quite busy so i quickly get a Honey Layered Cake and Pineapple pastry.








However is not to my expectation. The cake is quite soft but the taste not that good.
The pineapple pastry not the type i like too ! I prefer those with crunchy pastry skin rather than soft one. I still love the Roadway Lane's pineapple pastry that i bought on Day 2.

Near Amo cake shop is the bubble tea shop that i have saw it while researching the best bubble tea in Taipei !
The 50 Lan bubble tea shop which is formally called before Koi Cafe came out, yeas, they are from the same company.
They don't really have Koi Cafe at Taipei since there is so many 50 Lan shop already.
Taste quite good but i am not a bubble tea lover, i guess those who love Koi cafe, will sure to love this..
I also bought my favorite street food, Chong Zhua Bing ! :D


Is bubble tea time ~










My favorite street stall - Chong Zhua Bing ! Make me feel like eating Roti Prata in Singapore !




After that we went back to XiMenDing and I saw Danson Tang (Tang Yu Zhe) having his autograph session. :D
Woah, the first artiste i saw it. Haha and of course he is handsome.


Donations for pet event at XiMenDing.


And here goes the street stall moving around to hide from the police. The same sight that you will sure see in XiMenDing.




This somehow works like the Sentosa 4D ride.




Love this QQ muah chee ! I will always buy muah chee when i saw Pasar Malam in Singapore.




Is a dog named restaurant but there is something special !!!
The dog is actually in front the restaurant. If those who scared dog should not dare to go in bah !
Such a big dog at the restaurant entrance









Danson Tang.






We continue our shopping and finally found this cute sweet shop and at last we find it with the help of the map in my travel guide book. :D
Is call Sophisca Candy & Gift shop ! And is a must for tourist who go there as a souvenirs for your friends. :D
All the sweets and chocolate is packaging in cute and disturbing way.
Like condom, biagra, sanitary pad, bra, syringe, underwear....
And this are the pictures ! So cute right ! I bought it to disturb all my friends. :X








Of course it look really like a condom packaging. :D
Even the chocolate inside is in condom shape ! Hahaha.

Need restock your bras or panties ? :X


see my step baby ! Haha i told him to pick one of the word and take picture and he chose this.






When you fell down, don't worry, here is this SWEET CHOCOLATE plaster for you. :D


Gosh, need to use this......... sanitary pad (marshmallow is inside)






Finally is time for dinner !
We went to this shop called Dan Dan Wu, the building seems quite cute but food are all almost the same like all restaurant.
Ordered Curry Chicken cutlet Omelette rice and this Chocolate Lava cake.
Of course i love the cake more ! As i am more to a dessert lover ! Normally if there is dessert, i will eat dessert before eating my meal. :D












Curry Chicken cutlet omelette rice


Chocolate Lava cake. Yummy dessert !


After our dinner is about 10pm, time to go back hotel !
My dear is so tired everyday when we finish walking, he is always the first one to sleep and the last one to wake up.
But still I enjoyed having someone that is really secure to go overseas with. :D

Finally i am left with 2 days to update....
