We kick-start the day with the famous and freaking delicious 阿宗面綫!!
The night before, it was sold out before we could even queue so we woke up slightly earlier than usual for it. Now, I finally understand why itis soooooooooo famous bcoz its really really yummy!!
It is with pork intestine instead of oyster. The food that I miss most from Taipei is definitely 阿宗面綫. I kinda forget the taste now but I know its like one of the best food over there.
The only bad thing about 阿宗面綫 is that they do not provide seats so we had to stand and finish the whole bowl, which is a good thing bcoz the 面綫 is damn hot and holding the bowl for a long time is not a pleasant experience. *muahahahaha* Its hot!!
I think I might visit taipei again for this 面綫 seriously. *hehehehe*
We headed to 龙山寺 again bcoz Aza wanted to get another buddhist beads from there for her bf's mum. Hey, who knows, she might be her future mother-in-law. *teehee* We also bought several stuffs from the Giordano sales outlet at the underground shopping mall, a total of 2 pairs of jeans, 1 pair of men long pants, 2 pairs of men bermudas and a jacket.
I dun shop in Giordano Singapore normally! *hehehehe* I scare being spotted in there by my friends. *muahahahaha* Then, they will go like, "She shops in Giordano!!" Oh no Oh no, I will be like so embarrassed!!
Next stop: 忠孝澓兴站
There is a huge huge underground shopping all the way till the next station.
East Metro mall.
This is where we spent a lot of money but I preferred to shop at these kinda places with air-con and fixed price. Its a much easier work yah.
There is a little art exhibition at the underground shopping. Its on oil painting and I tell ya, dun ya envy pple who paint so well. Totally love it!! My work, compared to them is like heaven and earth. *Pout*
Pailin... at the underground shopping mall
Pailin is one of the famous store over there, it is like a combination of 2 big stores and there are a lot of cartoon characters.
And I saw someone familar there...!!
Heyyyyy, Shujuan.... Is that you?! *Muahahahahaha*
By the time we finished shopping at the huge underground mall, we were hungry and tired again. So ended up dining at a random restaurant.
Its called Belle Fusion.
We dunno what it served but just too hungry to look for any nice food so just randomly chose this restaurant.
The ambience was kinda nice but was sooooooo cold bcoz there wasn't any customer except us.
Aza looking tulan.
Bcoz the food took ages to come!!! I dunno what's wrong but the soup took like 20mins to come ya know and we were super hungry already!! For a normal restaurant, soup is like ready and all isn't it?! Dun tell me they have to look for clam in the sea, catch and cook them. That wun even take 20mins seriously! A hungry person is an angry person!!
Me as tulan as Aza. *Hungry hungry hungry*
I kept praying and whinning for the food to come!!
Salad is finally here!!! after another a 10mins wait...
Dunno if it is bcoz I were too hungry or what, I think the salad is like superb and I love love it. But it still doesn't make up for the time we waited and wasted.
The main dish/my penne only came after like another 20mins. We almost died of hungry and I swear there were a lot of staffs but I dun understand why the food took soooooo long to come. But the penne is god damn nice, one of the best pasta I ever had, maybe I was toooo hungry, u reckon?! *muahahahhaha*
Then the dessert came 15mins after we finished our meal. It tastes like ginger pudding but the staff said its just normal pudding. I dun believe, I think she dun get what I tried to tell her bcoz I said it in English, was damn lazy to translate into Chinese! *hehehehe*
Anw, we tot it gotta be a very expensive meal bcoz the restaurant look sorta like fine-dining type. But the bill came, its super funny I tell ya, bcoz it costs like SGD$9 for Aza and SGD$12 for me. That's absurb.
When we were paying, the 3 staffs took damn long at cashier area dunno doing what, I think we almost waited for more than an hour for the whole meal seriously. Soooooooo slow lah their staffs, wasted our time man.
Although when we finished the meal, its kinda late like 3-4pm, we still headed back to our hotel to put our shopping stuffs bcoz it was too heavy to be carried around. *Muahahahha*
After a 30mins rest, we procceded to 五份铺.
To get to 五份铺, we have to take the MRT till Houshan pi Stn which is like damn farrrr.
By the time we reached Hou Shan Pi station, it has becomes all dark. *muahahahaha* And we were very sleepy toooo (MRT ride too boring)...
Here we are at 五份铺, this place is seriously big and need a lot a lot of time to conquer the whole place but the fashion there doesn't really suit me, they are more like cute or hiphop style but I personally prefer high-street fashion. *keke* So I ended up buying a lot accessories to mix and match my apparel.
We gave up after 2hrs bcoz we feel that our legs are gotta break anytime.
But we spent almost all our money there. *teehee*
As usual, *whisper* we were too slow and missed our dinner time again so we went back to XMD for the street hawker food again. We bought the BBQ sweet corn and fried dumplings AGAIN *teehee* bcoz its sooooooo nice lah. I also tried Mister donut, I swear the Pon De Ring is freaking nice!! Nicer than any donuts I had ever tried in Singapore and Thailand!
I heart Mister Donut!
And I dun like donuts in the past and I seldom have them ya know but Mister Donut changed my mind.
We also tried the 滷味 and 大肠面线 from the street (sound like we had eaten a lot yah?! hehehehe). The hawker's 大肠面线 is nothing compared to 阿宗面綫 OK!! 阿宗面綫 is the clear winner. *muahahahaha*
滷味 is the worst worst thing. The sauce is ok but the chicken penis-meat is soooooooo hard (I know, it doesn't sound right muahahahha!), *hang heads* in the end we threw it away bcoz its really too hard to be edible. *stick out tongue* I dunno if all 滷味 is as such or just that particular store yah.
The toilet's drain/watever got fuck and the whole toilet got flooded. Its soooo stupid but I think its sorta funny.
We forgo our mala steamboat bcoz we had to pack the stupid lugguage.
***************************************************************************
Last Day!!
Happy Happy Happy! Cant wait to go home!!
We spent the afternoon in XMD bcoz we were too tired to travel to anywhere. So sick of XMD seriously, I got this feeling we were there for 5yrs already. *muahahahaha*
Early lunch at KFC. *teehee* I love their KFC man! So many localised burger and stuffs which are soooooo interesting.
I ordered a 黑糖口味 egg tarts and a seaweed wrap. Damn it man! The egg tart is sooooooooooo freaking nice, I am not exaggerating, I know I had been saying this and that very nice bla bla but I am speaking the truth, from the bottom of my heart ok!! The egg tart is really niceeeeee... Unlike what we have in Singapore!!
Uncle is advertising. I think this is a real hard job!
Imagine he has to stand/sit there the whole day on such a busy street with the blazing sun. What if he needs to pee, *evil laughs* poor thing lor!
We shopped around XMD AGAIN for a few rounds, just keep walking and walking and buying last min souvenirs for friends then headed to have our *smile sheepishly* 阿宗面綫 again. This time, we ordered the big bowl and the quantity is really huge.
We also went back to the same dessert store which we patronize the last few nights, the uncle even said goodbye to us and wish us good luck, he is damn nice lah. And his dessert is soooo nice as well. *teehee* The lotus seed-beancurd ice is just nice for the hot weather.
I tell ya, it has been really cooling the first few days and during the last day, it became damn hot. Luckily, we were returning home already. *hehehehe*
Then we continued walking around in XMD and spotted lotsa stores with the name of nono's. *muahahahhaa* We guess the owner is the Taiwanese Celebrity, Nono. I know I know, lame joke. But seriously, the hot weather there is driving us mad!
We bought a few magazines so we could read on the plane. And there was this store that sell all kinda magazines which is damn cool. How could they survive just by selling magazine in XMD?! *muahahahha* I bought a Japanese magazine that they translate into Chinese for the Taiwanese market.
I love it! I was telling elle that day that I think the Angel BB read Japanese magazine so I wanna read as well. She totally agreed with me that Japanese magazine is damn cool and we have to start reading it. *Muhahahaha*
I just added her as Fans in my facebook.
At around 3pm, we board the coach back to Taoyuan International Airport.
Aza *muahahahahha* broken lugguage in gray (damn funny!), mine is the big blue one! *hehehehe*
I bought the huge elmo bag as part of my lugguage from 五份铺. I think its super cute. Wanted to buy the 面包超人 one but they only have it in blue, its so weird to have 面包超人 in blue so I bought the elmo one. *hehehehe* And kiki is so excited about it bcoz he can fit into the bag.
Then when we were waiting to board the plane, there was this Taiwanese auntie who keep talking to us about visiting Taiwan the next time. Although, she is a bit too wordy & talkative *hehehehe*, she is very friendly lah and keep telling us to visit Taiwan again. Its sooo true that Taiwanese are very friendly isn't it?! *hehehehe*
My Hainanese chicken rice on board. Yeah... we were hungry again!
And Aza's Nasi Goreng.
5hours later...
Home Sweet Home... Its like FINALLY!! We cant wait to go back home, ya know!
You dunno how much we miss Singapore. *beam*
