I stayed at both Hui Chun’s place and a hotel during my holidays in Taiwan. I did not book in advance which limited the available choices but I am thankfully for it. I would have stayed in a really budget hotel instead of this stylish boutique hotel – Hotel 73 新尚旅馆. The staff were really [...]

Our favourite area in Taipei – City Hall. Initially, we planned to treat ourselves to a good fine-dining dinner. However, the heavenly aroma and gorgeous looking food at Xin Guang San Yue’s food hall was just too tempting that we gave up the prior choice. What’s smoking up in the box? A well-toasted cod fish [...]

Out of 7 days in Taipei, it rained for 6 consecutive days. And over the rainy weekend, Hui Chun and I went on a trip to Dan Shui. Japanese Octopus Balls.

Saw a Korean-imported lovely satin chiffon dress and it was $80. $80 for a Korean-imported dress in the night market!!?? We queued for the 卤味 (stewed/braised food). Took us 10 [...]

Since Hui Chun was slogging off work, she got our juniors to keep me company and they brought me to the famous Tapei 士林夜市 for a great feast of the local delights. I have heard so much about it, seen so much on TV, and now, finally, the trip! It was a rainy day. Luckily [...]

Having to sleep till noon on the 2nd day in Taiwan, my first meal was a lunchbox. I got the minced meat lunchbox! Heard and seen so much about Taiwan’s minced meat. heh. & it’s super yummy!! love the pickles too~

Last Tuesday, I took a flight out from Shanghai to Hong Kong to Taiwan. I left my house at 10:30am and arrived at Hui Chun’s place in Taipei at 9:30pm. Yes, it took me 11 hours. -_-” So much for trying to save 1200rmb on the air tickets. Upon arriving at Tao Yuan International Airport, [...]
