First of all, I am back from Taiwan for about 3 days already. Many asked about the trip, so here I am to share about my experience in brief.
Well, the weather wasn't good when we arrived, it drizzled and was about 15 degree celsius. The moment we stepped out of Taoyuan International Airport, whoa, the wind was really strong & chilly! It drizzled for the first two days. Thankfully the weather turned great for the rest of the days.
First impression, I see their national flags, scooters and yellow colour everywhere. Another important point, their Taiwanese way of crossing the road was really dangerous and chaotic! Vehicles still move even though the traffic light was red.
First day: 士林夜市
蛤仔煎 was tasty. Just that the chilli was too salty.
大腸包小腸 I find it not so tasty. It made your stomach full immediately.
Wanted to try their 豪大雞排 but the queue was too long.
Second day: 國立中正紀念堂、九份、野柳、陽明山、西門町
@ 九份
炸臭豆腐 was fine, not that stinky. But if you eat too much of it, you'll start to feel nausea. As for 滷肉飯, it taste weird to me. Other recommendations - 花枝綜合湯、蝦球
@ 野柳
We were at this big coastal area, when it was drizzling and the wind by the sea side was really so strong! Had dinner at 點水樓 restaurant. 小籠包!!! All sorts of flavours! Oishi~!!
For hot spring. It was where we heard the news of the tsunami at Japan, and it might come to Taiwan. This really worried us all. But thankfully everything was fine and we returned back safely.
@ 西門町
Too many things which confused me by not knowing what to buy.
Third day: Taiwan Discovery Centre、台北101、豆腐街、淡水漁人碼頭、淡水老街、台中逢甲夜市
@ 101
Were at B1 to L5, didn't went up to see the view as it was useless for us to go up to see the midst.
@ 淡水漁人碼頭
The sea breeze was nice. Bought their 甜甜圈and 炸油條, tasty!
@ 淡水老街
Bought their tall 綜合 ice-cream. Love it! It will never melt due to the low temperature. @ 逢甲夜市
Had 台式麻辣火鍋! Love it!! The best dinner I ate!!
Fourth day: 日月潭、高雄美濃村、高雄夢時代、85大樓、愛河、新崛將美濃村
Tried their 客家 dishes. Not to my liking. Bought 冰糖葫蘆 and it was too sweet!!
Happened to see 炎亞綸 and 羅志祥 having their Autograph session. Love the fans over there!!
Watched their 原住民 performance. Traditional dances etc. Interesting~~ :D
Had a sumptous lunch!
Oh well. Overall the trip was fine, but the travelling journey was really very tiring~ But till now, I'm still trying to adjust back to the warm weather here.
