Accommodation plays a huge part in my travels. I would definitely opt for a friend’s place whenever possible as I believe that’s one of the ways to see city as it is. We all know how packed Hong Kong is and how people live within tight spaces. Therefore, hotel was a necessary expense. I’m glad [...]

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 [...]

Following the trip to Shilin, Hui Chun brought me to 师大夜市 the next day. It’s well-known for the trendy Korean/Japanese shops and their ridiculous pricing. 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 [...]
