Taiwan Trip 26/7/08 (3rd day)

After a light breakfast in the hotel, we headed to Yong He soya shop, a famous shop for selling soya bean milk, you tiao and lo buo gao. They have salty soya bean milk, but we did not dare to try.












Can you see Taipei 101? We are going towards that direction, but of course BY CAB. hehe... Actually it's so easy to get cab here, there are cabs everywhere!!




















Yay........we reached Taipei 101, the tallest building in Taiwan (used to be the tallest in the world). Come, let's go shopping..

















It's summer sales now. But i did not get anything, as all the outlets here are the same as KL's shopping malls. I saw good deal for Gucci bag, 50% off and some as cheap as NT14,000. But i don't like Gucci bags, which is a relief to dear dear laaaaaaa....hahaha...

Actually it's a small shopping mall only, but there are altogether 11 buildings linking to each other and this is only the 1st building.






Come, let's go to the next destination, New York New York. This picture is taken at the link bridge.















My lunch at New York New York's Mcdonald's ..Ive never tasted rice burger before. Not so nice, i still prefer the bun type :) but the grill chicken is superb!!













The view in the food court. Everywhere also full of people.
















Behind me is the 7-11. There are lots of 7-11 scattered everywhere around Taipei.
My shopping bag 'I LOVE NEW YORK' -> You know what is inside??? It's the limited edition TOUS' Baby perfume which just arrived Taiwan 2 days ago. Dear dear, thank you ohhhhhhhhh.......Muacks!!

The promoter is so nice, she gave me 2 miniatures of TOUS' perfumes and 3 types of samples. I'll show you later.





On the way out of New York New York, we saw this character from Star Wars. Great pose, dear!! But where is your weapon??!! LOL...

Looking at the sky, it's so cloudy. Hopefully, it will not rain coz i heard typhoon is coming to Taipei.

We decided to skip the rest of the buildings as I feel that the shopping malls are similar to KL's.

So we head to our next destination...............................................











............which is Wu Fen Pu Fashion Area. This is the place where you can get clothes/bags/shoes at wholesale price.














At the entrance of Wu Fen Pu, can't wait to shop! YES!!!
















After an exhausting shopping marathon, we finally found a cafe! I really need a break coz so hot and thirsty.




















My ice blended peach......oooooo.......yummy...
The pudding tart is also tasty. Dear dear tried their hot mocha...Funny la dear....why do u wana try hot stuffz in this weather? Hehe.......












Dear dear...please help me take the picture of some Taiwanese lenglui.. Can you see them?? Hehe..........Dear took this for me.

Around 6pm, we headed back to our hotel to rest and to put our things. See what i bought in New York New York!! The TOUS' baby and the miniatures, and cosmetics from Japan and some unique candies. Do u notice a small tube on the right? It's actually bubble gum and looks like a toothpaste.
All these stuffs cost me almost NT3000!!!







These are stuffs i bought in Wu Fen Pu.. Actually most of the clothes are not of good quality. I bought all these clothes from 1 shop only which has good quality clothes and cheap.
The hooded blue jacked is only NT100! Hip hop look!

The sales girl is sooo friendly, she spent time to show me great pieces in her shop. I also learnt what is the trend now in Taiwan. It's actually towards flowery and striking colour type, which is the trend in Japan now. The hooded white jacket is very nice.. which you can see me wear later.. hehe.. see through piece..

There are also shops selling items imported from Japan and Korea. Those are high quality products and are mostly NT1,000 and above. I did not get any as I do not intend to spend so much in Wu Fen Pu.

Our legs are so tired..In the end, we decided to walk to Living Mall, 10 minutes walk from our hotel.
This is the view from outside Living Mall with escalator to the right. Similar to Pavilion, KL.

Let's grab something to eat! My tummy is making music already..









I heard that lu rou fan is famous here. I just have to try it. Looks ordinary, but hey, the taste is great! The rice here is different, they are cute, round-shaped type. But a bit sticky.













Dear dear trying his luck!! Quick, panda, grab the hook! Come to daddy.........but haizzzzzzzzz.......... no luck..




















Dear's friend told him that the sound system in karaoke here is very good! So I must try, even for an hour! Haha, and there's a karaoke called K9 in Living Mall.

Expensive oh, 1 hour is NT400 and with their plus plus total costs is NT770 for an hour of singing..This also includes NT300 worth of snacks/food for both of us.

The picture behind me looks real ya..





Dear dear must find Aska's Yang Chung (onion) ohh.........Haizzzz........Why Taiwan's karaoke also doesnt have his song one?
Finding songs in their karaoke is a bit tough. Have to search in the books.
Quick, only 1 hour to sing oh.










The small screen next to the TV is also for searching for songs. Dear dear sang Ni shi wo de yan. One of our fav songs.














The view at the reception counter. Nice ya, like hotel.

Very sleepy and tomorrow must wake up at 430 am to catch our plane.













Ah Bao ge delivered our pineapple and green bean cookies to our hotel.

They are freshly baked. Very famous here oh.













The green bean cookies.

We called the reception counter to morning call us at 430am. That means only 3hours to sleep oh.

Time to zzzzzzzzzzzz............
