My Taipei Trip - Day 3

Now, the Day 3 of my Taipei trip. Another tiring day because we had lots of plans on Day 3 as well.
-----
-------
As usual, we used the MRT at Taipei Station to go everywhere that we have planned.
------
Remember to go to the under ground of Taipei Station. There's a lots of things to see and lots of nice food to try.
--------

We found the nice dumplings shop. You can find different taste of Dumplings (水饺)there.
---------

The Fried Dumplings (锅贴) were so nice and delicious.

--------

The very nice Black Soya Bean (黑豆浆)at Ba Fang Yun Ji (八方云集) at Taipei Station.
--------
After our breakfast, then we took the MRT and went to C.K.S. Memorial Hall.
-----------
----------

The way to C.K.S. Memorial Hall (中正纪念堂). There were a lots of nice painting along the way. Very nice.
---------

Before we went to C.K.S. Memorial Hall, we went to the Taiwan Tradisional Drama Hall for a visit, it's just outside the C.K.S Memorial Hall.
------

Very Tradisional Signboard.

----------

The outlook of the Taipei Tradisional Drama Hall (国家戏剧院)- Guo Jia Xi Ju Yuan.
----------

After that, we went to the C.K.S. Memorial Hall. But, unfortunately, it was a rainy day. That's why we did not stay long there. We did not finish our visit there.
-----------

This's the C.K.S Memorial Hall (中正纪念堂). It has lots of stair case to climb uo to the Hall. It really test your patience and energy.

----------

One of the building around C.K.S Memorial Hall. Looks nice as well.
-------

After the visit to C.K.S Memorial Hall, then took our next move to Xi Men Ding, a shopping paradise for youngsters.

---------kimGo inside the MRT and waiting for our stop at Xi Men Ding.
-----------
Finally, we arrived at Xi Men Ding (西门町).
--------

One of the street at Xi Men Ding during afternoon time. Xi Men Ding is very big, ok? You will definitely get lost inside because almost every street are the same. If you foun something nice here, you better buy it immedaitely, You don't expect to go back afterward. I'm sure that you will waste all your time just to look for the shop again. And, the darker the sky, there will be more crowded here. A famous shopping, karaoke, food place for the youngsters. You can see a lot of pretty chicks here with nice outfits and branded bags.
-------The tasty duck. ^^ Forgotten the exact name. Found at a coffee shop at Xi Men Ding.
--------The simple chicken noodle soup but it taste nice. Forgot the name as well.
-------AH ZONG MIAN XIAN (阿宗面线)!!!! FAMOUS FAMOUS FAMOUS!!!! Must go to try this if you have chance to drop by Xi Men Ding. The shop is crowded just for their food.
----------There has no chair and table for the Ah Zhong Mian Xian. You have to stand outside of the shop to taste their food. It's a bit not convenient to it when standing. But, Taiwanese has get used to it I think.
---------And, another must go place - Lao Tian Lu Wei (老天禄卤味)at Xi Men Ding. Most of the visitors will pay a visit here just to buy their unique food as souveniers. Their unique food are quite delicious. At least, kimGo said NICE!!!
----------
See! kimGo still deciding which one to buy. Because the price is not that cheap. There got lots of choices for you to choose.
---------
After Xi Men Ding, we moved to our next point bu taking MRT as well.
-------
-------

kimGo outside the Long Shan Si (龙山寺).

-------

A place to make a pray for blessing yourself and family. It's crowded eventhough it was a weekday. There were lots of Taiwanese went for praying. And, eventhough Ang Mohs also pay their visits there for the Chinese culture. It's good to make a pray there when you are travelling outside.
---------

The nice temple inside Long Shan Si.
--------

Then, we took MRT and bus to our next point for our early dinner.
-----


Finally, we are here!!! Hua Xi Street Night Market (华西街观光夜市).
---------
This's so damn nice. Hot Peanut Ma Ci (花生麻糍). Must try this!!!
--------

Thumb Up!!! Shan Yu Yi Mian (鳝鱼意面). Must try this!!
-------
Then, next point by using MRT and bus as well.
----
----

A very beauutiful place for couples. Fishermen's Whaft - Yu Ren Ma Tou (渔人码头)at Dan Shui (淡水). I LOVE HERE VERY VERY MUCH. It's so romantic and unbelievable beautiful.

-----------

 I love the night view here. Must go here when you are in Taipei. ^^ Highly recommended. But preferably at Night time.

------

The long long bridge that we did not walk until the end. There were lots of couples just along the bridge. You can find GAYS and LESBIANS couples here. And, Taiwanese are definitely braver than Malaysian I think. They can kissing like there's nobody there as usual eventhough that's a public place and many people walking around.

--------

I was on the middle of the bridge. Wow!!! Look like I was acting for the Taiwanese Idol Drama series. LOL...got that kind of feel right? Because of the nice background.

-------

Another nice background. Once more, I wanna say, I LOVE YU REN MA TOU!!!

--------

The Sign of DanShui Fishermen's Whaft and I.

-------

And, there's a lots of freelance painters standby there to service you. Their paintings are nice. kimGo took this pic when waiting for the painter to paint our portrait.

------

The shops alongside the whaft.
------

After the romantic Fishermen's Whaft, we took the bus and MRT from the last station back to Shi Lin Night Market.
------
------
Sorry!!! I'm not tall enough to take the pic of the signboard of Shi Lin Night Market (士林夜市).
--------

Inside the Shi Lin Night Market. You can find different kind of delicious foods. Too many visitors here because this's the Taipei most famous night market.

------

The most famous food here, Oh Ah Jian (鸡蛋蚵仔煎). One word to describe - Mou Dak Deng (无得顶)!!!

------

Another famous food here, Shi Lim Da Xiang Chang (士林大香肠). It's huge and not cheap. They can cut 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and sell to you. Just choose the length that you want. It's delicious.

---------

After all the hot food, then come grab a cup of Frog Eggs (青蛙下蛋). It's not frog eggs, just a kind of name for a drink like Yao Yao Bing (摇摇冰). It taste a bit sweet and sour. Not bad! But, not a very special drink lah. Just buy it to heal your thirstiness is good enough for you.

-------

kimGo's late dinner, If not mistaken it's Hua Zhi Geng (花枝羹).

---------

And, the Taiwan Beer (台湾啤酒) for kimGo.

-----

The Ma La Ya Xue Chou Dou Fu (麻辣鸭血臭豆腐). This stall not nice. kimGo did not finish it.

------

Lao Shi Lin Shui Jian Bao (老士林水煎包). Its taste delicious. Can have a try!!!!
------

The Tang Ben Jia Ri Shi Cui Pi Pao Fu (堂本家日式脆皮泡芙). It has different flavours, You can try it 1 by 1. It taste nice too.
------

Actually, we wannt try the Huge Chicken Chop at Shi Lin Night Market, but the queue was too long. So, we planned to try it another night.
----

----
Ok!!! That's for for our Day 3 Taipei Trip. A very tiring day. But we have enjoyed our time to the fullest. Wait for my next post, will post more about the places and food too.
