Taiwan- Day 3

Early morning today, we visited Long Shan Temple (龙山寺)located at Mongga (艋舺)
艋舺, the taiwan gangster movie in theatre recently.
MRT- Blue line to Long Shan Temple.

This is an old estate.

Busy street as early as 8am.

Full of people inside.


85 degree cafe

Egg tart, soso

Alley

Pepper pork biscuit (胡椒饼)

$30NT, too meaty for us. The pastry abit tough. We can't finish one.

You can find Bubble Tea almost every corner.

And nice, from $25- $45NT.
And choose level of sugar and less or more ice.
We see more older folks in this vincinity.

Like our sungei road....

Some nice old buldings

Around 10.30am, we proceed to Zhongxiao East (忠孝东路 第四段) for urban shopping.
MRT- Blue line to Zhongxiao Dunhua.
Visit this restaurant 葱花.
Saw a small entrance and they invite us to go uo to their 2nd floor, surprisingly the restaurant is big, at least 3000sqft.



We ordered a stew beef, chye poh omelette and a juice.

Cost us $30+SGD
Mochi FOC
Quite a big portion for us, we can't finished it although we are very hungry initially.
GG's dream
LOMOgraphy

Bro's fav, STAYREAL. Design by A-shin.

This street is actually quite isolated, need to walk 7-8mins from main road.
Went a few time and is closed, safer to go after 1.30pm. Hong Kong outlet also open late, better to go only after 2pm.
Umbrellas, 10% discount on sunny days

Evening time, we went back to Wufenpu again and this time decide to try on this restuarant for their Lu Rou fan (卤肉饭) .


Still can't get the taste which i had previously in Taiwan.

Very fatty meat, no fragrance.
And the corn soup.

After Wufenpu, we took a taxi and proceed to Shida (师大).
This is a must come place, just next to a UNI, alot of students around.
The famous Arnold Crepe

Need to wait at least 10min, long Q

Rasberry juice(覆盆子)
Very nice, must try!

Steak!
Very good! Must try!

$140NT
With freeflow tea and a soup.
1 Big piece of steak, udon with pasta sauce and an egg.

They use alot of tenderiser on the steak, but it is still nice:)
GG loves it alot.

Another popular stall in Shida, Charcoal grilled chicken chop (碳烤鸡排).
$55NT each.
A few flavor to choose from, we chose honey grilled.
First they deep fried the chicken chop, then dipped into the selected sauce and then into the grilled oven.

The food here is not as much as Shilin but I find food here is much better than there.
Shilin have more stalls of food but alot of them are repeated, not really much variety.
Bought a milk tea back, $40NT giant size.... cannot finished.
After putting down our shopping bags we headed to their popular nightspot.
Take MTR to 市政府站 and walk to NEO19.

Room 18Located in the Hsin Yi Commercial Center of Taipei, Room 18 was one of the first venues to open in this area. Now in its 8th year, it is the longest running club in Taiwan, and an icon of Taipei’s fashion and nightlife culture. Taiwan and Hong Kong’s most famous celebrities and models are regularly spotted at Room18. Open by Taiwan artist Tuo Zong Kang (庹宗康).

b1, No. 88, Songren Rd., Taipei T+8862 23452778
台北市松仁路88號b1
Each person $600NT
We are shocked! The Q is about 200 people.........we gave up and we walked around there a few more clubs with different concepts.


Also under Room 18. Q about 100 people....


Happening place, should check it out!


Until around 11+am, we are very tired and decided to take a cab back to hotel.


Flag a cab and the driver say should not go back so early and suggested we go Shilin instead. And we continued our journey till early morning again..........
