Taipei Day 4 (12/03/17)

0 Comments
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!
