Taiwan - Day 7

Taiwan - Day 7

Time flies, its already the last day in Taiwan with my parents. Since we only left with a half day in Taiwan, we just shopped and ate in Ximending. Luckily I managed to book a taxi the day before to go airport from Ximending at a cheaper price of Ntd$690 which normally cost Ntd$900 to airport. You can book his service at +886-9-5550-3350 Mr Wu. If he is booked, you might want to try another driver Mr Song +886-9-8225-8878 which I found online that also charge around the same price for hotel/airport transfer.

So we had for the last time the Taiwanese breakfast at Yong He Dou Jiang before shopping around.



Another popular shaved ice in Ximending


Still can't get over with this Cong Zua Bing! Totally my fav street food. I always ordered the cheese flavor~


Before leaving Taiwan, the last thing I will always do is to get this yummy Milk Sun Cake which have an outlet conveniently located in Ximending. Take exit 4 in Ximen station and the shop is just directly opposite. 
The shop name is call Vigor Kobo 維格餅家 and I think they have the best Tai Yang Bing especially for those who like milky taste. Although Tai Yang Bing is actually famous in Taichung but those I have tried in Taichung really doesn't taste as good as this. If you doesn't like those milky taste then you might consider getting the original Sun cake from Li Yi Bing Dian 李儀餅店 at Taipei Main station.


If you buying the Sun Cake at this Ximen outlet, then just walk a few shops beside to try this popular smooth and yummy almond tofu at Yu's Almond Tofu 于記杏仁豆腐 .


there's an event starting in Ximending but sadly I will be on my way to airport by then

Modern Toilet restaurant in Ximending


50 Lan is actually the same company as Koi but in Taiwan they are named as 50 Lan.

I love mochi so this attracted me! 


Peanut Mochi!! 



Enjoyed my trip with my parents even though I get tired bringing them around. Its the first time planning an entire long trip of 7days 6nights and changing of 4 hotel/guesthouse. I really did a lot of researching and planning for this trip since is fully free & easy trip. I am glad that my parents do enjoy themselves throughout and at least my hard work didn't gone to waste. I will recommend you guys to follow this itinerary if you are going 8days 7nights since my first day in Taichung was kind of rush and didn't really went to visit some attractions. 

Taiwan is a great place to travel since air ticket you can get at $200+ to $300+ during promotion and hotels are normally $100 per night. You could stay in guesthouse for budget and you can still expect well condition of the rooms, just make sure you did a good research before booking. Definitely gonna visit Taiwan soon and explore other part of Taiwan.
