I woke up early in the morning to plan the route for the day. 'Shopping madness' is in my mind, but daddy said that he wants to go to tai-zhong. I've predicted that they will not be much shopping madness in tai-zhong, as i heard that the stuffs there are much more expensive.


Me and Ni fooling around in the room while waiting for parents to get ready.

Had a heavy breakfast as we have a long day ahead.

This is known as rice-ball, but it comes in a longer shape. Daddy bought it somewhere near the hotel as he complains that the breakfast set served by the hotel is too small to fit his tummy.

This rice-ball is kinda special. The rice used is different from others, and the filling of this rice-ball is pretty unquie. i dont know how to describe the taste, but overall it taste pretty nice lah.

To get to Tai-zhong from Taipei, there are 2 different methods. 1 is to take a tour bus, which costs around $6 but it takes 2& 1/2 hr. 2 is to take the bullet train, which costs $10 for a person and takes around 40minutes.

Since time is very precious to us, we chose to take the bullet train. Its the first time too, and we are like pretty excited as we dont know whats the speed of the train. But it turns out to be very stable like those MRT trains in Singapore, but a very fast speed.

Here we are at SOGO!
My mummy wanted to get the Chanel Bag, but we dont have too much Taiwan cash on us.
Thus we have to walk to the NEAREST bank for the currency exchange.

NEAREST= 30minutes walk from SOGO department.

Had bean curd for high-tea.
i love the bean curd to the max as its not so sweet. And the 'tang yuan' is so chewy.

This is a yam-biscuit. (i dont know the eng name for this)
but this is super yummy. its deep-fried on the spot.

Scholar cake. Its peanut flavor.
It as large as a A4 paper. i dont find this nice, as it taste too sweet for me, but my sisters love this. (another reason why they love this, maybe its because it pink).

Went over to tai-zhong night market. Nothing very interesting, as i love taipei one more.
tai-zhong night market focus more on the food and has lesser people, so its not so happening compared to taipei's one.
Taipei night market consists of both food and shopping. Its like a heaven to me.

this is the ah-pek icecream. 3 times longer than my sister's finger and it costs like $0.50.
where can you find such a long ice-cream at such a cheap price in Singapore. even the most common ice-cream at Mac costs $0.60.
