Packing my bags for another work trip to BKK tomorrow. In another 30 days, I'll be celebrating my birthday - another year wiser, haha! Have been trying to blog about TW trip, but always got distracted by other entries, so it was left in my "draft" folders waiting to be completed. So, have to remind myself to finish up all the backlogs first!
Took the bus back to Da Si station and walked around the neighbourhood.
Been holding onto this pair of hands for almost 7 years :)
Stopped by this bakery, mainly cuz we were attracted by the numerous media publicity plastered all over the shop.
Got the famous pastry, which tasted much like mini butter cakes.
We didnt spend too much time, as we still need to take the bus back to Taipei.
It was almost 7pm by the time we arrived back in Taipei. We decided to head to Huasi Night Market in search for food, which is near to Longshan Temple.
Love street food!
In the early years, Huaxi Street is famous for porno shops. After prostitution is banned by the government, the place becomes safer for visitors to visit.
We tried Pig's Blood Cake, one of the famous Taiwanese snacks. Surprised that this was relatively chewy, nothing "dreadful" of how I imagined it to be.
Walking through different sections.
Huaxi is sometimes known as Snake Alley, and there is a reason for it. The place is cluttered with shops selling tonic soups, especially snakes. They have snake soup, snake blood, snake semen ... just to name a few.
Snakes are often hung in front of the shop, sliced live in front of audience. I was fortunate not to witness the slaughtering, for that would have been too much for me to bear.
Great time checking out those 小吃!
Bumped into Quan Yifeng and Desmond - they were in Taiwan filming a variety show.
Daddy-in-law needed to have his staple rice for dinner, so off we went to one of the shops along Ximending for a sit-down dinner.
Ended the night with an extra large bowl of dessert! The 5 of us can't even finish this bowl.
