A DAY OUT TO TAIPEI TO RELAX RELAX RELAX 台北101 Taipei 101 n Shilin Night Market
By Unknown - November 13, 2013
Another day out to Taipei during my off day! The main purpose coming out
today is actually eating Xiao Long Bao at Din Tai Fung. There is a lot of
outlet in Taipei but then both my friend and I decided to come to Taipei 101
instead, since she have not come Taipei 101 before. This is my first time
coming to Taipei 101 in the day time as last two times I came to Taipei 101 is
always during at the night time.
If you are wondering how to come to Taipei 101, you just need to
take a MRT and alight at Taipei Cityhall station. When you alight, just watch
out for the sign which leads you to Taipei 101! It is very easy to find your
way out. If you still can’t find your way there, I will advise you to ask
around, Taiwanese’s are really very friendly people.
Myself and Pei Xuan
Both of us out to have lunch and shopping together!
Entrance of Taipei 101! There are about 4 exist around the mall,
so if you are following tour guide and he or she ask you to meet at a certain
exist, I would recommend you to take a photo instead of just thinking that you
will know how to come back. Even for me coming here for about 2 times, I will
still go to the wrong exist!
B1F, No 45, Shifu Rd, Xinyi Dist, Taipei City 110, Taipei Taiwan

From the
picture you can see there are a lot of people waiting for their turn to head in
to have their lunch! Both I and my friend are looking forward to enjoy our Xiao
Long Bao.
Seated down
and they immediately pour hot tea for us!
I believe
during super cold weather drink the hot tea will be super awesome but for us
after drinking a while, our body feel super-hot and we ordered cold water
instead.
Here
is our order list and the price for both of us! NT 957 which mean Singapore
about $41.46. Each of us is about 20 Singapore dollars. It is really consider
cheap compared to Singapore.
Original
Xiao Long Bao
Happy
girl with her favourite Original Xiao Long Bao , she order 10 for herself and I
order 5 piece for myself !
I
am also a happy girl. Before I came to Taiwan I went to eat Din Tai Fung in
Singapore and now I come here I also must try! As they say is totally different
taste.
Dumpling
Noodle
Shrimp
Xiao Long Bao
Overall,
I would say that there is not much different between Singapore and Taiwan Din
Tai Fung. I think maybe different people have different taste bug or maybe mine
is weird. LOL ! The price is really worth it, if you guys in Taiwan you should
come and try even though Taiwanese’s told me that Din Tai Fung is not the best!
I am still searching for other Xiao Long Bao restaurant to try! Any
recommendation just comment at this post !
Baskin
Robbins is an ice cream brand I believe everyone heard it before as Singapore
they have a store at Nex if I am not wrong and usually I do not eat in
Singapore as is expensive. For me I will eat it in Malaysia or in Taiwan, way cheaper!
LOL ! Please don’t call me cheapskate please!
Saw
this promotion is buy one get one free and is only NT 100 which means Singapore
dollar $4! Where to get this ice cream for 4 dollar you tell me?! I searching
for the childhood rainbow ice cream but I was quite disappointed I did not
manage to find it so I went to try other flavor.
Did
not really like the flavor, but I manage to finish it. I do not want to waste
food also.

meal!

Went
in to Prada shop to search for the wallet I always want. The price is about the
same as Singapore. I thought if it is cheaper here, I will buy L
. The sales person told me that Prada is not going to have that design anymore
as it is quite old already L.
At the end, I give it a miss.
If
you are wondering which Prada wallet I am taking about? Let me show you!
If
you know anywhere still selling this wallet at a cheaper price compared to the
retail, do email me at tingting_6765@hotmail.com
! I am still interested to get it even though it is kind of old design already!
Both
of us wanted to relax today therefore we went to visit an Massage place to have
shoulder and feet massage for about 45 minutes and we pay 600NT which mean $25.
We did not choose this massage shop just because is the first store we spotted,
we did compare.
You
do not need to just rush in to check out what they have, you can just view it
from outside.
Like
a boss!

Comfortable
chair to rest on while they massage the feet
The
best part while they are massaging, you can distract yourself from the pain by
watching some show from their portable TV! For those people who are coming to
have a short trip, you can serve net there as they have wireless.
Enjoying
like a BOSS!
Overall,
I would rate my experience an 7/10! Their customer service was good but the
thing why I give 7/10 is about the pressure when massaging. My shoulder is more
sensitive therefore I understand why the pressure is not so hard but for the leg,
there is some part which is more sensitive but I still can take the pain. The
service provider just scare I can’t take it so she just give a normal strength
and at the end I don’t really feel relax on my shoulder and leg not much
different also. Quite disappointing but nevertheless, next time if I were to
come back again, I will just tell them to give those pressure higher than
normal so at the end I can feel more relax!
After
massage, I decided to go for a Haircut! Saw this salon which is only 289NT
which mean Singapore dollar $12.59 Student price! I wanted to have a haircut
because my hairstyle a bit boring and also very heavy!
They
got a TV for us to watch movie while my hair is been pampered.
When
the hairstylist was cutting my hair, she told me that my hair is very dry and
also very hard to comb due to many cross cross (you get what I mean?). So she
recommended me to have a hair treatment! I did not want to have treatment but
after thinking for a while I just decided to go for it. Just pampered more for
my hair ba if not my hair will always be like grass! The treatment costs me NT
400 which mean $17.33.
This
is my final look after the hair cut + the treatment! Did not turn out what I wanted
but nevertheless, is good to feel that my hair is much lighter now.
Overall,
I would say is a risk to cut hair at a salon you do not know whether is good a
not. Best is to ask around for a good salon or you just risk it! I would give
my experience an 6/10! I think the next hair cut I will cut when I am back to
Singapore and maybe color my hair here in Taiwan before heading back for
Chinese New Year!
