Continuing my Taiwan Trip post..
I separated the Day 2 into Part 1 and 2 because there's too many photos and many places to be covered.

It's time to leave our Amain boutique motel after 1 night stay and head to other places. I change hotel every day so basically I stay in a total of 7 hotels.
Our #OOTD of the day :)
Went to the breakfast area at Amain Boutique Motel.
Derp preparing his cereal. Cereal is his must-eat for breakfast whenever We go on holiday because it's just too troublesome to prepare it at home.
I had porridge that day with some veggies. I love to eat porridge in this way, not the canton style but teochew style haha!
The cute salt and pepper sprinkler. Is there such a word 'sprinkler'? okay maybe I made it up myself.
nom nom nom..
Man Tou!
Spotted their vending machines at the motel lobby. There's no food being sold around the motel, quite a secluded area hence the vending machines selling cup noodles and drinks is essential!
Goodbye Amain Boutique Motel. We had a great stay :)
Our next stop, 九份 Jiu Fen.
Our tour bus are not allow to travel up due to over congestion so there's this common spot whereby tourists take the shuttle bus up.
On the way up the mountain.
九份 Jiu Fen basically sell nice food and also souvenirs :)
Cheesecakes!
Taiwan Ocarina - A type of musical instrument.
Selling raw meat/organs in the middle of 九份老街.
The wrap peanut and ice cream below is a MUST EAT!
yummy to the max!
Derp and I share it, regretted not getting 1 more but seriously, we are saving our stomach for some other food that is famous in 九份.
There's 1 more stall selling this also. Quite a lot of tourists queue for it so it's a MUST TRY. It's recommended by my tour guide but he did not try it before lol. He said it's a young people thingy. But I think it's not too sweet, just nice for everyone :)
Many sky lanterns souvenir for sale. But I did not get it here. I went to 十份 to get it :)
九份 is also famous for their taro and yam balls.
I heard that there's this ah ma shop selling it but We can't seem to locate it. Probably miss it but We ended up at one seems-not-that-bad shop selling the same thing.
The shop is really big and it has 3 levels. Most seats on top :)
We had it in red bean soup base. Though the weather is freakingly hot, we have it with hot red bean soup.
We should have ordered the cold version of it which is with ice, but I was thinking of trying their red bean soup lol. Come to think of it, it's quite shiok to have it during the winter days. :)

We sat at the top level of the shop and there's pretty good view while you're enjoying your taro yam ball.
Escargot. Derp and I dare not try it though it looks good.
Grill Mushrooms. Ain't the mushrooms huge??
We bought a small cup of it. It taste super chewy, but the taste so-so. Nth special.
The shuttle bus that fetches tourists up here and go down.
Paranomal View of 九份.
We went to 十份 Shifen after 九份. Time to 放天灯!
Less than 5 sgd for 1 sky lantern :)
They provide chinese words template to write on the sky lantern. Basically, just copy and paste the strokes onto the sky lantern.
And yup, when the train comes, everyone got to siam from the train track
Thats what We wrote on 1 side of the sky lantern. We shared the sky lantern with andrea and carl, another young couple of the tour :) So We get 2 sides each to write. Seriously, if both of us were to write 4 sides, I've no idea what to write lor, and probably We'll start doodling on it.
No idea who drew it, but it's damn pro. lol.
Ready to release the sky lantern :)
And off it goes.
I was really excited for this because of "you're the apple of my eye" movie. But it was hot and not really romantic overall, I just want to faster release the sky lantern and go get the souvenirs for colleagues and friends :)
Saw this street vendor selling sausage. Looks really good so We tried it. Indeed taste yummy! :)
Derp bought this gassy drink with marble inside. Derp saw it in SG before but I didn't. Anyway, it's really thirst quenching under the hot sun.
Us at 十份 :)
We got this name chops with our zodiac on it in 九份 as souvenir for ourselves.
Our chinese names.
:).
I'll be back with part 2 of Taiwan Day 2 soon, will be covering Tai Pei 101 and Feng Jia night market :)

... why cereal hard to prepare at home?
ReplyDeletelol you make your own?
hello! of cause I don't make it myself. That's because I don't have my own kitchen at that point of time and I find it troublesome to bring the milk and cereal to work(my workplace don't have a place to store freshmilk). Moreover, my journey to work is 1.5 hours. Read my latest entry my dear, I make cereal every tuesday for dinner nowadays because I finally have my own kitchen/fridge :)
