Taipei – laa laabi

Why so expensiveeeeee? Haiz. I shall eat make and eat normal cakes for now.

I’m so lagging in updates right now. Too much photos because of Everland and I was too tired as the bed in Seoul wasn’t comfortable. But no worries, I’ll try to catch up. Sort of. Cause the bed in Taipei now is pretty good and I finally have flat pillow! Say bye bye to neck pains! (Although still pain la because of previous hotels)

I’ll just keep posting photos first, add my comments after that when I have more time. 👌

Breakfast again! 😂

Although the spread here is quite good but quality wise… Japan is better. Lol. This french toast is overfried until dry and tough. (My poor ulcer.)

Must eat lots of veggies and they have sunny-side-up!

Awesome ru rou fan. Omg… looks at those yummy pieces of fats.

Even tofu also nice.

Awesome duck egg.

Nice but my ulcer too painful to appreciate.

Truly generous tau huey! 😋

Wu Fen Pu
The thing about this place is that the clothes are cheap but also risky. Although I did try to filter the clothes that could fit me but when I go back to the hotel to try… confirm still will have problems. End up still need to alter. Sian. 😧 Like waste money right… might as well pay a bit more to get something better.

But I did buy my pair of rose gold sneakers here! Not cheap though, pretty can le.

I really need to do something about that ulcer. Very desperate.

Shun bian buy my eyeliners. Very cheap okay! So must stock up. I don’t know when TC will be coming again for work.

Zhu Di Fresh Fish (築地鮮魚)
TC says the chirasi don here is cheap and good and it’s very near our hotel.

Looks legit. Lol.

Free flow soup and tea!

Look at mine. There’s so many things inside. 😲 I think the fish not super duper fresh because got a bit fishy smell but really better than nothing. There’s no way I can keep flying to Tsukiji Market just to eat this.

TC’s.

Wee~u~weet~!

Shilin Night Market
Other than Shida Night Market, this place ranks second. Maybe because we used to stay beside here. Clothes bought here can be pretty cheap and good too. I bought 3 dresses here and they all fit well!

I like sausage in glutinous rice but my ulcer is begging me to stop. 😭 Stupid ulcer, I hate you.

Yes, we have left Seoul and we’re back in Taipei!
Seoul is great but food wise is nothing very amazing to me, that’s my opinion la. They are crazy with cheesy stuff, not me. I don’t like spicy stuff too and their chilli is the same on every single thing. Fried chicken is yummy and can hardly go wrong. Most of their food is starchy; very high in carbs and it’s difficult to get a balanced diet.

Shopping is great; the clothes, skincare… you’ll get it.
The thing about skincare – it’s everywhere. After visiting Korea, I don’t feel so bad about my skin anymore. I feel that most of the girls in Korea have low self-esteem shown on all of their faces. Their makeup is so thick until it can be quite scary; face very white but the body is of a darker shade, almost like wearing a mask. It’s obvious that they are not comfortable in their own skin. It’s sad because they are trying to be somebody that they are not. 😯

Damn dayima. Why? Why do you have to come now?
That also explains my swollen face. 💣

Our hotel room!

Got bathtub but cannot use. 😭

We got nice view from here but too bad Taipei 101 will no longer have fireworks for New Year countdown.

Fill up our hungry stomachs with cakes we got from Paris Baguette first.

Ximending
Oyster omelette, carrot cake and iced tea. 😋

Then it’s time for some grilled mochi. I always ask for 醍醐照烧 (I think it’s teriyaki)

Such a simple and yummy thing.

Seriously… this is the first time I’ve seen the Ximending red house, even though it’s just opposite.

The guys wants some coffee and we ended up here at Oven Coffee. There was another which he wants to try but they were fully booked, it’s called Men-Cady.

Thanks 大姨妈 for making me swell.

By the way, I got more Sylvannian Family capsule toys! Yay!

Can’t remember very well but I think I ordered a hot orange milk tea, sort of. It was good.

And a marshmallow waffle! I did expect them to roast the marshmallow, a bit sad when I saw this. The marshmallow did become soft and it was nice, just that it will be even better if the marshmallow was roasted. 😳

Shida Night Market
Shida is one of my favourite places to shop at. Things here may not be the cheapest but you can find unique designs. And there are lots of good street food here.

Must buy 生煎包 when at Shida Night Market!

Woohoo! My must-have every time I’m in Taiwan! Even though I have a huge ulcer in my mouth and I can only eat in small little bites, I will still eat you all. 😍
