Taiwan Trip 07 - Taipei (part 3 - Final)
11th September
Slept through the whole morning and took our own sweet time to have lunch somewhere near our hotel. Took a real slow walk nearby and decided to head down to Ximending (西門町) during the evening. It’s a place where you could easily find Japanese influences – from clothes to kawaii accessories and cosplay café.
It’s also where we stumbled upon this supposedly famous Japanese (amongst travel magazines) eatery where the food’s tasty and reasonably priced. Have a look at the pix below for what we had ordered. The bill came up to no more than S$11 (for 2 people altogether). Considering the location, it’s cheap.
Night. We headed back for one of Taiwan’s well-known ice dessert stalls. Luckily, we have one just near our hotel. And you know what? The business was so good that the crowd just kept coming…
The serving’s really huge so it’s best to have at least 2 people sharing a bowl! And depending on what you order, each ice dessert usually cost between S$5 to S$9. But because the serving’s really huge and there’s plentiful of fresh fruit toppings, you wouldn’t find it expensive to gobble down the whole bowl.
12th September
It’s time. Haiz…
As ours was an evening flight (and we overslept as per usual), we only had a few hours to shop area for mooncakes and local delicacies to bring back to Singapore. So we decided to head for the departmental stores instead (which was quite a disappointment coz’ things that were expensive and not quite what I was looking for).
And of course, since it was our last few hours in Taiwan, I just had to get my favourite milk from the nearest convenience store… it’s a brand you wouldn’t be able to get over here:
As the minutes passed by, it was soon time for us to leave and to end our vacation. The journey to the airport was exceptionally slow that day and we fell asleep on the cab. Then it was time for us to check in only to find out that we had exceeded the baggage limit by 2kg and we had to pay S$36 for that. And guess what? Who would’ve thought that 6 boxes of biscuits (太阳饼) would’ve weighed that much?
Haiz…
With a heavy heart (partly because of the S$36), we zoomed across a million miles (just a simile) and back to our homelands with our barang barang…
Till the next journey…
