Footprints in Taiwan - Meteor Garden Moment


Tenth Stop: Longshan Temple.


Supposed to go to Hualian today, but both of us were too tired and slept in till 10am. Thus, we had to switch our schedule. Started the day with brunch from JSP Burger. Yummy ~ this is another of our favourite eatery outlet.

We got onto the wrong Metro train, thus, we decided to visit Longshan Temple. There is a musical fountain in front of the temple, so its time for pictures again. Just when it's my turn, the performance stopped, sian

The place is always crowded with people...and plus, the sun is freaking hot.

Impressive miniature waterfall inside the temple, plus, its cooling to be close to it under the hot sun.

Didn't take any pictures inside the temple, cuz I noticed the security camera. Didn't know that even temple also venturing into technology stuff.

Eleventh Stop: Tian Mu - PS BuBu Cafe

Went to Tian Mu in search for this famous PS Bubu Cafe. Those who have watched Meteor Garden before will remember that DaoMingSi brought ShanCai to this cafe where they sat in this little pink car and have ice cream. Haha, must force the Leecher to bring me there...

Tian Mu is located at ShiPai station and must take the bus Red19 to reach the top of Sector 7.

While waiting for the bus to come, I got Chun to accompany me, heehee. (had to force the Leecher to take this pic for me ^_^)

Finally after half an hour of bus ride, plus walking upslope to locate the cafe, WE HAVE REACHED!!!! Yeah !!

Specially requested to sit at the little pink car. However, that came with a price -- we had to order the set meal each. Thus, once again, the Leecher ordered the most expensive set meal which cost NT$690 while I settled for the other NT$490 set meal. There are only 2 set meals on the menu to choose from

Pictures while waiting for food to be served.

Appetizers: Soup, garden salad and baked snail with cheese.

Baked snail with cheese is yummy, plus, it came with an interesting "holey" bowl. One hole = 1 snail.
Main course: Lamb chops (Leecher) + Pasta with spicy chicken (me)

Dessert: Cheesecake + Coffee (Leecher) and Black Forest Cake + Tea (me)

The blackforest cake came in the "picture" of PS Bubu car, it's time to photo-whore with it. (PS: the cheesecake got neglected)

The interior of the cafe. Most of the cars are 1/2 car, only the little pink car is a whole car. It's a small and cosy place, would want to go there again.

We asked the waitress to help us take pictures ... must take, since its such an expensive meal. Oh, I waited for 7 yrs for this moment to sit in this car ~~~ (it would be even better if it's zaizai or chun sitting opposite me in the car, haha)

Too bad we were too full after the meal, if not, I would have ordered the same ice cream that DaoMingSi and Shancai ate. It would be PERFECT...plus, not forgetting this Leecher for making it possible for me.

Oh, this meal has officially become our most expensive meal in Taiwan, haha =)

Twelfth Stop: WufenPu + Rao He Night Market

Took the Metro from one end to another (almost). Alighted at Houshanpi station to go to the Wufenpu wholesale market.

Didn't take any pictures at WufenPu, since there is nothing much to take. It's like Bugis village, and the clothes are NOT that dirt cheap. Only spent like NT$1000 there for 2 necklaces, 1 bag and 2 shawls. Leecher bought more - 1 woollen vest, 1 long-sleeved shirt and 4 ties, which cost around NT$1500. Had to try the BBQ roadside stall though.

Walked over the Rao He Night Market, which is behind Songshan Train Station. It's one of my fave night market. Think it's better than Shilin Night Market.

Queued up for this Black Pepper Bun. It's super long queue. Though there was another stall selling the same thing with Buy 1 get 1 Free, we decided to join in the queue for this, since it's supposed to be delicious.

After 1/2 hr of waiting, we managed to buy just 1 bun, haha.

Bought this octopus snack too and finally, had a chance to taste their beancurd + pearls. Heavenly! The beancurd is soooooo smooth.

Ventured off to do some shopping, which caused serious damage to our moolahs. Leecher bought 2 pairs of NIKE shoes @ one go plus 2 pairs of Levi's jeans *faint* while I only bought 1 pair of Levi's.

Headed back to our hotel. It's going to be a super early day for us tomorrow, as we're going to Hualian.
