EXPLORE TAIWAN TAIPEI FOR THE FIRST TIME BY MYSELF
By Unknown - November 19, 2013
First
day of my off day that I am looking forward to. Not because I dislike my job
just that this will be the first time I be going to Taipei alone and i manage
to search the places which is recommended by people through the app called Trip Advisor!
First
place I be heading to is Famous Xiao Long Bao , I don’t know what is the shop
English name but then you can see it from the picture I took.
Here is the
address:
No
17, Er Section, Hangzhou South Road, Zhongzheng District, Taipei Taiwan
Wondering
how to go:
Take
a train to Chiang Kai Shek MRT station and exist 3 and from there you can ask
people or use goggle map! In order to find this place, I ask about five people
in total and I remember there is one person telling me that the restaurant closed
down already and that point of time I almost went crazy but with my fighting
spirit of finding the restaurant I have never give up !
This
Famous Xiao Long Bao restaurant !
Specially
took this picture of the restaurant so to show you guys the name of it in
Chinese! If you want to try their Xiao Long Bao , you can actually come to
Taiwan to try by asking around or if you are Taiwanese you might want to come
and try it yourselves !
Sorry
for the blur picture.
This
picture I just want to show the people inside the restaurant.
Is
Air condition too!
When
I enter into the restaurant, the service staffs actually gave me the order list
and guess what? I don’t understand therefore I went to ask the service staff
and he came back with an English menu! I am a Chinese but I can’t read really
well. I guess after 3 months in Taiwan , my Chinese will improved a lot!
Mixed
Vegetable and meat
Forget
what is the exact English name but then is something like a wrap.
To
be honest, I don’t really like this dish. The reason I choose this dish because
in the Menu it shows that the dish is recommended! Maybe it does not suit my
own tasting!
Green
Squash and Shrimp Xiao Long
I
love this Xiao Long Bao! I would give it a 8/10!
From
the picture you can see the Xiao Long Bao inside got green color thingy and shrimp!
After
finish eating my lunch, I use goggle map on my phone to find my way back to the
nearest MRT station and take down to Taipei Main Station! The reason why I want
to go there is because of their underground shopping mall. I heard from my
friends that they sell cheap stuff over there and a lot of interesting thing
that I can check it out.
Tutti
Frutti
I walk pass
this yoghurt shop and I think for a while weather I want to eat a not but at
the end I continue to shop instead of seating down to eat! After finish
shopping, I decided to just seat down and chilled! Instead of having coffee, I
decided to come to Tutti Frutti to have a yoghurt as it been quite a while
since I have it here in Taiwan.
There is a
lot of different flavour. For me I just take a bit from each flavor. I don’t
really remember what I take but overall is nice especially with my favorite
topping M & M chocolate.
After that I
took a train down to Longshan Temple station and head to their night market to
have a walk and take a look what they have! Since I tell myself that during
these 4 months of internship in Taiwan, I would like to explore as much night
market as I can if not I not sure when I be coming back to do so for such a
long period of time, even thou I say I might be coming back next year bringing
my daddy!
While I am
walking Longshan night market area, I manage to see a few restaurants selling
Snake soup and I went inside to take photo of their snake. To me I feel super disgusting
and I wonder how people will head in to try the snake soup after they have seen
the snakes?
This snake
skin looks very sticky.
Other than snakes,
I manage to spot some rats? Or is it called a mouse?
This is
even more disgusting than snakes! I thought rats are dirty, then how people
able to put into their mouth !
This is one
of the restaurants I spotted that sells snake soup.
If you are
very adventures, you might want to come to Taiwan to try the snake soup and
share with me how does it taste; x
Here is
another restaurant!
Their night
market!
It is quite
small I would say, but nevertheless I manage to get some cheap stuff for my
family members!
