(It has so many pieces of antiques and artifacts that they are to be displayed according to seasons)

Taipei 101

We walked 2 streets away from the Taipei 101 to get to this place just for the photo-shooting

Snacks & food found at Shih Lin Night Market

大饼包小饼

七里香 (guess what is it?)

Ah Zong Mee Suah since 1975

All the people just stood by the stall and eat the mee~

The last night after all the Shih Lin Night Market food, of course it was the chance to SHOP! We spent our money to the last dollar in Xi Men Ding and Wu Fen Pu, hehe~

Day 7

We woke up at 4 something as our flight back to KL was scheduled in early morning. We had our breakfast in the bus on the way to airport, listened to the final words from our Taiwan guide, Judy. She's such a great tour guide!

After all the checking-in procedures, a brief farewell to Judy, off we went to check-in, waiting for our flight to take off. Bye-bye Taiwan!

Vacation at Taiwan (Day 5)

Day 5

Day 5 was mostly spent at Alisan Forest Park. The journey was tiring, it took about 2 hours to reach up there. But it was worth, the air was cool, trees, flowers, beautiful nature~

Weird looking tree bark

'Three Brothers'

'Four Sisters'
The legend of the sister ponds

The younger sister's pond

We blocked the bottom part of the heart =p

Our dinner for the day was very special. The restaurant was named 'Five-dime' (Wu Jiao Chuan Ban). Anyone visiting Taiwan, have to dine at this restaurant if possible. There are a couple of branches around Taiwan. The one we went to was located at Taichung. Have a look at this restaurant, how unique it is.

It was named after the owner found a 'wu jiao' on a wood plank

The glasses, bowls, plates were all handmade

The restaurant was designed by the owner, a lady..

Whole restaurant looked so artistic

The stairs, such a beautiful design

All the sculptures and decorations in the restaurant are the owner's masterpieces

The 'senget-kepala-long-hair-girl' is all over the restaurant, haha~

This one is at the entrance.

Such a unique hand-washing basin!!!

Got guy mistaken it as the place for him to ease himself before, hahaha~

Kepala senget girls again, as the bench

Again, this time as the tiang

Such a wonderful place to dine at... I could say this dinner was the best during the whole Taiwan trip! =)

After the nice dinner, off we went to Fong Jia Night Market (located next to University Fong Jia). This night market was more towards fashion clothes, bags, accessories etc.. but still we tried on some food which was famous. All the gals back to hotel with 'hasil'. Hehehe~

'大肠包小肠' - 'Big sausage wrap small sausage'

Our 'Twin-towers-instant-noodles' bought from Carrefour

Vacation at Taiwan (Day 4)

Day 4

On Day 4, we went for fruit picking at a farm. However, none of us really went to pick, we just posed with the fruits only and of course trying on the FOC fruits, LOLS~

Forgot it's mango or jambu air =p

Yellow= Milk mango, Red= Apple mango

After that, off we went to Fo Guang Shan, to see the gigantic Buddha statue, 500 'luo han', museum about Buddha's knowledge and artifacts.

The gigantic Buddha statue

Posing for the uncle & auntie in our tour, haha~


Part of the 500 'luo han'

It was such an exercise at the Fo Guang Shan (from it's name, it's built on a hill). With energy draining out, of course it's time to replenish our energy. LUNCH at Mei Non Hakka Village. We got to try on a few Hakka dishes. YUM YUM! After lunch, we spent some time looking around the village.
