Happenings @ TPE Day 4
-- back to taipei --
our train ride from KaohSiung 高雄 back to Taipei was approx 6 hours. we played cards most of the time to entertain ourselves. the locals were friendly too, gave us plenty of ideas of what to do and where to go in Taiwan. i believe these ideas will be very helpful for me to plan the next visit here though 'm not exactly sure when.. hahaha ~!
went back to our hotel - Chengdu (Royal Castle) to leave our shopping bags before proceeding to our next stop ---> Wu Fen Pu 五分浦. a wholesale garment district that's similar to Chatuchak Market in BKK (not as cramped) however much BIGGER! getting there was simple, take the MRT to Ho Shan Bei 后山埤 station exit 4 and walk about 5mins west along Yongji St. it was drizzling hence i couldn't share much photos with ya :P see some of our purchases below ~
point to note ~ if you wanna buy clothes that suitable for SIN weather, please do schedule your trip at the right time. we couldn't buy much cos it was winter season during my trip there!
went to Rao He 绕河 night market for our dinner and it was very crowded. perhaps its due to the rain since everyone was SQUEEZING for shelter. we managed to find seats and had our 1st try sinking our teeth into 鲁肉饭 (highly recommended by my frens at home) = ultra small pieces of meat stew with a very thin layer of fat on it. this is definitely not my regular diet here @ home but what the heck, since we're already here, we might as well gotta try it, right?! WOW ~ m glad that we went ahead with it cos you could just taste the spicies and the meat literally melting in your mouth! yummy~!
more food pics for ya (though i did not try this but would be an interesting view of what chinese like to eat) :P
i couldn't resist salt & pepper prawnz... yummy!
the long awaited pepper buns 胡椒饼 ~ another highly recommended dish by my frens @ home. it was still drizzling while we waited for our turn to purchase some. long queue but luckily was still moving quite smoothly. the meat was well marinated, very tasty and i'm still missing it today~!
our day ended with grocery shopping, BI~RAIN and cute handphone strap purchases for my frens at home :P
see a HAPPIE Grace with Rain :)
