TAIWAN - DAY 2

DAY 2
Almost couldn't wake up for breakfast. HAHA.

This hotel has good reviews on the breakfasts. It's like those home cooked style.


Our breakfast !

First stop of the day; City god Temple 霞海城隍庙. 
It's famous for tourists or even local to go there to pray for a good marriage/relationship.

It's pretty near to the place where we stayed at.

People usually pray to the "Old man under the moon" aka 月下老人, which will give you a red string if the person you prayed to be with is suitable for you.

Xia Hai City God Temple:
No. 61, Dihua Street, Section 1
迪化街 1段 61号


The exterior of the temple.

I went there to pray, hoping to have a good relationship and everything will go fine for my ever complicated case. Love can't be forced, but I'm just hoping that god will answer to my prayers.

We even got the amulet from the temple and it's quite cute (:

After that, we took a cab to Taipei Main station then took a train to Zhong Xiao area (忠孝) to shop. Before that, we went to the Hello Kitty Sweets Cafe, wanting to have our lunch there.

Unfortunately, we gotta leave one person's name then head back at 1:30pm.

Note to Travellers: It's really packed. So better make a reservation to avoid the long queue.

Hello Kitty Sweets:
No. 90, Section 1, Dà'ān Road, Taipei.
大安路 1段 90号
Tel: 02-2711-1132


Cute looking cakes!


Outside the shop. 


Interior of the shop with hello kitty chairs. 

We went to SOGO for shopping. Time to buy cosmetics from brands like NARS, Jill Stuart etc,


Cute clock (:


First time seeing a LIZ LISA shop. 

The things at LIZ LISA are really pretty but their prices are even "prettier". One hair band can cost SGD 40. It's way too expensive.

I don't mind spending on the clothes though. LOL.

Mummy, uncle and my sisters left SOGO and went to the cafe first while JJ and I stayed back to buy things. Bought an eyeshadow from Jill Stuart and a blusher from NARS.

We even went to SASA to buy some stuff. It's very different from the ones in SG. More varieties.

Ok, Back to the cafe.


Hello Kitty table mat. 


Salad. 


Hello Kitty buns!


Appetiser; Smoked Salmon. 


Baked rice!


My sister's meal; cute burger right? XD


And it's dessert time. 

The food there are mostly sold in set meals and it's really affordable. Each person will just need to spend $20 + to eat all this!

And I did tried Foie Gras in the cafe. Didn't know what's that till J told me back last year. LOL.

Indeed quite nice but I think it'll be nicer if there's some biscuit to eat with (like what my friends told me).

After lunch, uncle went back first and the rest of us went walked to Eslite book store. Books sold there are quite cheap, just that most of them are in Chinese.

I can read my novels in Chinese but I'll die from reading all sorts of books written in Chinese. LOL. It's hard to find English books there.

Note to travellers: We tried to the Miniature Museum to find that it's close on Monday. No choice, we gotta go back there on another day.

We went back to hotel and rest till dinner time.

Here's my loots of the day;


Jill Stuart Eyeshadow, eye cream and the sample for the compact powder. 


NARS blusher. 



Opened them after I reached home. NARS in Orgasm, Jill Stuart Eye Shadow in Pink Cameo and my eye cream. 


Bought these from SASA. Eye masks, U pins and sponges. 


2 novels; Vampire Hunter and some detective novel. 


The amulet from the City god temple. 

At night, we went to this 川巴子火锅楼 for steamboat. It's somewhere at Da An district. The cab uncle dropped my sisters and I at somewhere further away from the shop.

We ended up walking there. Luckily, I got my 3G to view the map =.=


Spicy steamboat. I never like it. HAHA. 

Mummy asked me to eat the duck's blood. It tasted like luncheon meat. HAHA.

We went back after dinner. Didn't eat much so I ended up buying fries, fried chicken and beer up to the hotel room.


Beers! Love those with fruity flavours. Haha. 

The beers are cheaper than Singapore. 3 cans for less than SGD 10? around there.

Ok, that's all for DAY 2!

Shopaholic!
