你。

Two surprise flavoured cakes from bi last week because I'm craving for cakes yet I do not want to get on my own at Four Leaves either 😋 #不是我生日 #不是每次都想吃蛋糕 #谢谢比比

It's only past ten and I'm so drained .......

Sometimes note like this made my day ♥️ oh and he's bibi1 and I'm bibi2 because we had miscommunications before. Eg: bibi will get bread. So I assume he will but actually he's asking me to get it. Therefore, we need a number.

I had the privilege today to choose the macarons first! 🙊 That's because I've done and learnt a lot about work issues today. My brain cells died from 0745-1200. After lunch it's pretty well. Thank you my dear colleagues for such wholeheartedly guidance, not only because I'm the youngest but also I felt how sincere you were. I thank god for watching me from above. My responsibilities are getting real. #0000

Had dinner after work with my girls, they are such a blessing in my life. I'm thankful for such thoughtful, responsible and true friends and my affectionate families and bi to make me who am I today. True friendship don't just come by, it takes two hands to clap.

Where did my determination goes to? Bi have to look back at photos and provoked me. Those days when we are dating or getting closer (I guess) not officially together yet okay hahahaha. Not going to say anything for now, great weekends! 😘

Thank god for a better sleep last night. And I'm slowly getting back to the habit of having breakfast ..... Can't even finish a small bread 🙄

I grumbled to my bb how difficult it is to plan a catching up with our tight schedules and the people around us. I told her I miss those days when we just had our teriyaki rice bowl during recess and looking at boys playing basketball ...... As much as we nagged, we knew we have a goal at this moment.

"You will never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of success is found in your daily routine. So rule your mind or it will rule you."

We were looking for 豆漿油條 in Xi Men Ding for breakfast. 豆漿油條, 要一起吃下去味道才會是最好 LOL

The kind boss offered me some food to try when I was waiting for my ordered food beside him. I shared it with the boys so he gave us more. Taiwanese are so friendly!!

I went to get 阿宗麵線 too, the boys do not find it tasty. Personally I think their standard dropped over the years, still many people are eating so our opinions does not matter tho'.

The mixing drink that I cannot finish when it is not chilled.

My day 5 top with my hidden lil pug.

Roaming around Xi Men Ding after breakfast, deciding where to go next .....

I'll be your 背後的女人 HAHAHA

So a bank lady officer suggested we should go back to 淡水 to try Ah Gei 阿給. It is probably the most famous dish in 淡水 and very typical for the town. Every blogger will say you have to try it and I am also one of them. It's actually fried tofu stuffed with glass noodles in a spicy sauce.

Bi loves this pancake with custard and red bean filling! His business brains started running and calculating the revenue and all while eating. If you see this similar food in Singapore in the future, 是他开的.

While waiting for our pork cutlet with cheese filling! Did not get to walk this awesome street last weekend, so we spent around 1 hr on this stretch. Pork cutlet with cheese, 4/5 stars.

We spent quite an amount on this nougat shop, not only because it's fine, but 老板娘很会做生意. Our snacks were arranged to deliver to our air bnb too without any additional cost.

Cannot get enough of 黑豬肉 sausage, it's so chewy and perfectly done.

Bi bought 83 coffee and the signature doggie was just resting at the entrance.

Meet up with bi's family and friends when they reached 淡水.

Before leaving to 士林夜市, time to win some money.

We won Vivien a big snorlax at the night market!

This is the shooting of toilet paper game. Difficulty level 5/5 stars. Mainly because the paper is made of wool material, hence it does not break easily despite bi and Xing shot at the same spot several times.

We flee back to Xi Men Ding for the guys shopping before we bought supper back home. I remembered that night was quite windy too, as it started to drizzle during the late night.

Lamb soup near our estate, love it.

We are heading to Taipei 101 the next day, stay tune!

For those who has realized I have shorten my post with words, you are observant and right. I am trying to rush over my Taipei posts as I can predict myself to be getting slightly busier and want to get my travel posts completed. Readers who are awaiting for Taipei posts, yay I've updated 2 days straight today!

Rise and shine! Day 4 was breathe easy, we're all loosen up! First destination of the day to the most well known temple in Taiwan, 龍山寺. We walked to the temple from our air bnb, total walking duration was about half an hr. There was an antique passageway and bi was in charge of our photos.

Longshan Temple is one of largest and oldest temples in Taiwan. Entrance is free, but donations to maintain the upkeep of the temple are accepted.

Taking a stroll around to look for breakfast .... We found a roadside stall having carrot cake and meat ball soup!

The uncle beside Xing was just like us, coming for breakfast. He's not the boss oh. Here's the carrot cake with saltish sauce.

Meat ball soup in various shapes. I like the round one until bi told me they are the same just like how Tekong camp prepared fish cake everyday in different shapes HAHA.

After breakfast, we planned to go to 五分埔 for shopping. It is the best place in Taipei for crazy bargain apparel and accessory shopping. However, we were too early hence we went to a near-by café.

Did not go for shopping after coffee, we took a cab to Chia Te Bakery (佳德鳳梨酥) instead. They are popular with their pineapple pastries. Many tourists said they have the no.1 pineapple pies so we are here! I bought many sun biscuit here however I still prefer it from Li Yi Cake Shop.

It's only 3pm and our hands are filled with pastries hence we went back to put them in our room and off to Jin Feng (金峰魯肉飯) Taipei’s Most Famous Braised Pork Rice Bowl! Xing said it was so good that he said it's the legendary with no regrets and die die must try haha. Thanks bi's dad for sharing this place! Yums

Look at my bowl of goodness!

After satisfying our tum tum, we had really nice prata along the streets I had no idea where. My memory are fading ..... I only remember there was a lengthy queue as shown below in the photo. The boys said the prata was so worth it and their business brains started running ...... again.

We took a cab to Ningxia Night Market (寧夏夜市) and coincidentally we are all wearing Adidas shoes.

And because we are still feeling stuffed, we did not buy any food from here. Most of the night markets are selling similar food except for some extraordinary ones.

Xing and Neng won bubbles from the game and started to blow them in the streets.

Here it is!! Xing got the lucky slip with full house roosters! Winning is $23.30 wow.

Oh did I mention in my previous posts that we really love 饒河夜市 (Raohe Night Market)? Here we are after stopping over at Ningxia Night Market. Our second evening here hehe.

Finally we tried 大腸包小腸 on day 4, it's taiwan sausage wrapped with glutinous rice.

The boys had beef cubes again from our friend we buddy up on day 2. He was shocked to see us again and questioned if we have nowhere to go LOL. Actually we really love here leh.

It's beneficial to make new friends when you travel around the world. Here's why, our day 2 beef cubes vs day 4.

Can you see the upsize that we did not pay for more?

We played games on the same stall too. Here's our friend again, Xing's daring and steady best friend. *hidden message* We won the mahjong tiles plushies for Xing!

Bi bought me mini steamed egg cake that is in the shape of hello kitty, melody, doremon etc ... It was kind of squash by me when I'm enthusiastic playing games oppsie. I took this picture so I am not the lady beside my ah bi.

This tako-yaki looked sooooo good but it does not tasted as good.

We ended our day at Partyworld. The tall Partyworld building at Xi Men Ding. We saw one married couple's commotion while waiting for our room. Neng and I was mentally affected for a while, it's really frustrating. I have decided to talk about this in a brand new post some day when I have the time, did not want my blood to boil now. Partyworld isn't just a Partyworld in Taipei .....

Drafting day 5 now , brb!
