Taipei Trip - Day 2
Din Tai Fung and Monster ice
Taipei 101
NYNY
Wu Fen Pu
Raohe Night Market
Supposed to go to Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall but it was drizzling in the morning so we adjusted our itinerary. Went to the Din Tai Fung instead. It's quite a long walk from Zhong Xiao Xin Sheng MRT station. Was there around 11 and the place was already quite packed. The food is better than the outlets in S'pore but it just a bit better imo. The place was super crowded when we finished our meal. Don't really know why the craze over it.
Monster ice is just around the corner of DTF and they sell ice with fresh fruits not like the cocktail ice in S'pore. Actually Kennie wanted to visit Monster ice again but due to the ulu-ness, we didnt go back.
Taipei 101. The tallest building in the world. Taipei 101 was named "Taipei 101" because the building is in Taipei and contains 101 floors. It's just another high class shopping centre in Taipei. Didnt go to the observation deck as the view wasn't that nice as it was raining and it's not very worth to pay NT$320 just to go up.
Finally can take a pic of the whole 101
Next we went to NYNY which is very near 101. This place is famous for its Statue of Liberty and Mister Donut. At first I thought there's only 1 Mister Donut in Taipei but I was wrong, we can find it basically everywhere. So I don't quite understand why people are flooding the outlet in NYNY. But their donuts are really good. There's lots of varieties to choose from.
We took the free shuttle bus from 101 to Taipei Cityhall and took a train to Wufenpu (fashion wholesale centre) which is at Houshanpi station. No pic to see cause it's like Shilin Night Market but with more shopping lanes. The clothes there are quite cheap and lots of designs to choose from. Kennie and the kids bought quite a lot of clothes there. Though the clothes there are cheap, we are not allowed to try the clothes.
We had dinner at a restaurant opposite WFP. The food that they sell might look quite simple but it's really very tasty. The thought of it now make me hungry.
We walked to the Train station (not MRT train) and crossed the bridge to Raohe Night Market. This Night Market is famous for the smelly toufu and Hu Jiao Bing (Pepper Biscuit). Basically this super market sell more food than another other things.
1 of the famous games in Night Market. The guns look exactly like a real one. Some shops even used M16. Taiwanese loves to play games.
