Polar Bear Ice Skating World and Shilin Night Market Underground food area
By Unknown - November 29, 2013
Today will
be the second day of my off day. Thanks to C.E I do not need to brain storm
what I want to do, as yesterday we already planned where to go. In the afternoon
we will go and eat first before heading to ice skating then in the evening head
back to night market to shop and settle our dinner.
I been
aiming at this Tim Sum eating place for quite some time especially when I am
walking towards the cinema, I will always see people enjoying eating their Tim
Sum! So since C.E has no idea what to eat, I suggested eating at this place
called 港點大師.
This is
what we actually ordered. They actually have different meal set for one person
or for two people. I wanted to order the two person meal but there is Tim Sum
inside which I don’t eat therefore both of us decided to order separate. Both
of us order Set 1 together.
In the
picture is not only for myself but is the service staff place both of our order
together so that the table will not have lot of plate! If I am not wrong the
meal actually cost about NT 140 or NT 170 which mean Singapore 6 to 8 dollar! I
think it is really worth and after eating, I feel super full! I would rate this
Tim Sum 8/10!
After
finish our lunch, we head down to ice skating in Xin Men Ding. After coming to
this place for many times, I still don’t know there is Ice Skating there. In
Singapore, there is but then I never go and play because I have no interest and
quite expensive to me whom do not have any interest. Since, in Taiwan is much
cheaper and I have nothing to do, there is no reason for me to reject it.
If you have
no idea where this place, you just head down to the department store near the
MRT station and find a lift there and take lift up to level 8. From the picture
itself, you can actually see that this building they actually have a lot of
place selling really cheap goods, the next time I come again I will check it
out.
The ticket
for students during weekdays is actually NT 170 and for shoes you got to pay
additional about NT 50 if I am not wrong. They will not refund you the shoes
money which I thought at first, it will; x the price for weekend will be more
expensive by about NT 30-NT50? For more information, you can check out their
website:
This is my
first time and the shoes it is kind of difficult to tie so I just anyhow tie. I
kind of regret wearing this pants to skate but nevertheless I hope it is going
to be very fun!
In total, I
fall about four times. First time I fall onto my buttock and second time I fall
onto my hand and the third/ fourth time is the most serious one! The third time
I fall onto my knee and it is very painful till I can’t stand up on my own, I craw
myself onto the side and pull myself up! Despite falling so many times, I never
give up. I continue to skate and fourth time I fall again and I injure my
ankle! That is the point where I decided to rest because if I continue to skate
I afraid that I will injure more. But nevertheless, I think it is really a good
experience and I believe in the future I will play ice skating again.
Spotted Cold Stone store and I decided to go
in to enjoy the ice cream! I saw a group of people standing in-front of the
store, and I went to take a look. There is a game outside and we are able to
win some Cold Stone voucher. So I just give it a try!
Random picture of them in the process of making our ice-cream!
Strawberry Banana Ice cream + Wafer! Super yummy!
Did not have much mood to take picture because of the new pants
that I have bought! The leg part is quite tights, walking for me is alright but
when sitting down is a problem for me. Therefore, all I want is to walk and
eat!
In the
midst of eating our ice cream, we were discussing on where to go at night!
Actually C.E wanted to bring me to another night market but later when I want
to head back to my base, It will not be very convenience therefore we decided
to head down to Shilin night market which both of us agreed on. The above picture
shows the underground pass to Shilin Night Market, this is another way if you
do not want to cross the traffic light.
While we
are shopping around, I spotted this store selling this nice bag which cost only
NT 299 which means Singapore Dollar about $13. I kind of love this bag and I would
like to buy for my daddy and I not sure whether he like it a not therefore I what’s
app him the picture and by the time he reply me, the bag already sold to
someone else and I got to choose another bag for my dad as he need one for his
work! He was quite disappointing, so am I! I regret why at the first place I did
not purchase it first L but nevertheless, if I am going to see the bag
again I will buy!
Today my
planning to eat small thing instead of eating one full meal! When you come to
Taiwan, you should eat finger food instead of one full meal because their night
market they have lot of different nice food for you to try on! When we head
down to food area, we saw there are really a lot of store selling Seafood and
after looking around for a while we decided to sit down and guess what both of
us ordered?
I ordered
the left hand side one and C.E order the crab! Both of them cost NT 150 each
which mean $7 each. I order because I think I have ate something similar in
Singapore but when I try the first mouth I realize it was totally different
therefore I still just continue to eat and if they have “HAM” there it will be
better. “HAM” does not refer to the English HAM but seafood I always call them “HAM”!
Those got blood one! The crab have a lot of meat but for me it does not suit my
liking, I would prefer those with curry or black pepper those type. i would rate it 7/10!
I will have more post coming up about Taiwan, if you want to see more beautiful photo of
