Taiwan Trip Day 2 -- 18 Feb 2010

I liked the Taiwan breakfast, cos they served their authentic Taiwan porridge!! haha...

I make sure I had put on enough clothings for the kids, as it's the first time they came to a cold country and am really afraid they may catch a cold or what if they are not used to the cooling weather. Anyway, as I mentioned, it's always good to have MORE then LESS! hahaha... call me kiasu mummy!! :p

Ok, our first place to go is Zhong Zheng Ji Nian Tang... but the wind was so strong that we only have time to take a shot & board the bus!!  haha... And next stop was Jing zan, a place to buy Taiwan food back, but I was thinking if it's too early to do tat?!? haha... Anyway, we can select & pay for the things here, they will pack & send to our hotel on the last night in Taiwan.  And next place of visit is Zhong Lie Tang, we were on the bus, cos the kids were having their nap... And also cos it was drizzling & it's just a place for a shot, so we decided to give it a miss!

Our tour guide, Yeo (he was a Singaporean, but came to Taiwan for his U and stayed here cos of his wife! hee hee...) brought us to Yu Ren Ma Tou, according to him, this Love Bridge was used to shot Meteor Garden (but I can't recall @ all... haha.. though I had watched the seriel a few times! hahaha...) Anyway, the cold is getting unbearable here, cos of the strong wind & drizzles.... But we were busy eating @ the food stalls there instead of taking pics @ the bridge! hahaha...

Next stop was interesting, Dan Shui Lao Jie, taking our lunch (A-ge &; fishball soup) & buying some Yu Su & Xia Su... And also, we managed to get some gloves here, cos as I say, the weather was getting quite unbearable... haha... And we realised the kids love the Taiwan sausages here!!

Taiwan 101 was our next stop...  Yeo asked if anyone wanna pay to go up to 101, but he suggest not, cos 101 is no longer the tallest bldg in the world after the one in Dubai came up! So, we went with his suggestion and just went shopping there...

By then, it was already in the late afternoon and we went to Wu Fen Pu for some cheap shopping, but got nothing also, cos the place was not properly sheltered and the streets were all wet and to make it worst, my Adwin was having his nap!! OMG... carrying a 13-14kg sleeping toddler & shopping in a like wet-market place is not fun at all!!  Anyway, we tried the guava here, it's nice!!  And in fact, the place here is recommended for bulk buying, most of the shops deal with wholesale and I think it's a good place if we are doing business... this is a place I'll come IF am in business next time for Ladies clothings! haha...

We were not supposed to have our dinner here, but cos we were tired of shopping, & we found this dumpling shop opposite (as recommended by Yeo @ Xi Meng Ding yesterday night!).  And we were happy to have made this choice!! haha.. cos the Guo Tia was good & cheap!!  And also we had order a bowl of noodles for the kids.  As we will be heading to another night market after this, afraid we have no time to sit down for the kids to have proper dinner...

Next stop, Rao He Street Night Market!!  At least the weather is abit better, not much drizzling.. haha... The kids bought their shoes here, and we tried these food here: Lu Rou Fan here (not impressed), peanut soup with Yu Yuan (Ok only), WL packet a Beef soup back & also Herbal Lamb soup (nice!), oh yes, and also a piece of Zhu Xue Gao (yucks!)...  All these end our 2nd day!!!  :D
