1021. recap taipei day 3

Joy of the day: So many new quests in Country Story!!!

Day 3 in Taipei was the start of the "painful" journey. This was the day where dear accidentally kicked into the hotel room pillar and had almost the entire right foot swell up. Her journey was painful. Taking every step with caution and pain. My heart ached but she insisted that we continue with our iternary with minimal amendments to the plan.

We planned to have hotspring session on the third day but due to the sudden injury on dear's foot, we decided to postpone 1 day to monitor the situation. So we headed for 淡水 (Dan Shui), one of the busiest street near the costal area in Taipei. But before that, we sorta grabbed some bite near our hotel before the trip because we woke up around 11am. All thanks to the late night countdown.

I'm always curious about this 官东煮 (Guan Dong Zhu). It's like sticks of don't know what in the store. So we decided to give it a try. And......... It's like our Yong Tau Fu. Just that the taste are alot stronger. It's nice actually to eat during such cold weather.

Reached 淡水 in about 45 minutes via MRT. It's really pretty much like taking MRT in Singapore from Pasir Ris to Boon Lay. Just look at how crowded the street is... All in all, we barely covered 60% of the street because dear's foot was too painful to continue.

You get to see quite a handful of these game stores in Taiwan. Apparently, I'm pretty good in the pistol shooting game. I shot 17 targets out of 20. Steady ah...

Plus the targets dear shot in her game, we exchanged for this awfully cute blow up Minnie Mouse hammer. Haha...

We tried having more food but we couldn't too full to eat. So, only had BBQ squid and 猪血糕 (pig blood cake). The latter seriously ain't disgusting. It taste almost too delicious to resist a second serving but because it's made of glutinous rice, it's a filler...

As night falls, we headed to 士林夜市 (Shi Lin Night Market). It's one of the most famous night market in Taiwan and almost marketed to the World as one of the tourist attraction.

And if you are in a night market, how can you not eat their street food? Just look at how ginormous their drinks are. I had grass jelly with ice milk, something you cannot find in Singapore. But of course, they do serve the traditional bubble tea in almost all their drink stores.

These are extremely lovable and tasty sweet potato balls!!! Oh very nice... I wanna have them again!!! The purple taste sweeter actually.

And not forgetting their crispy fried chicken fillet!!! Look at the size of it!!! It's even larger than dear's face!!! OMFG!!! We took quite a long while trying to "settle" the chicken fillet. Too large lah...

As we walked along the night market, dear spotted this shop. According to her, it's sorta spree shop with all the spree items for the ladies. The shop was infested with women of all ages! Selling from fashion accessories to tops, bottoms and dresses... And this was where dear grabbed alot of stuff. Anyway, I loved the design of the exterior.

Think we spent alot of time at the night market. By the time we decided to head back hotel, it was already mid-night. Oooohh... *yawn*

Those who saw my Facebook message on the hotspring, that's coming up on day 4 of the trip. I'm extremely sleepy now... Night peeps...

Oh, for those who had been waiting for the fireworks, it's finally up in YouTube!!!

Enjoy~~~
