Day 8: 士林夜市 & Day 9: Wufenpu (五分埔)

Day 8

Started day 8 with 永和豆浆. It was about 10 to 15min walk from our apartment. The place was really small and only had 4-5 tables if i'm not wrong so if you wanna dine in, you probably have to wait for a while. We were quite lucky though, only waited for a while before the staff brought us to our table.



I only took picture of the carrot cake haha. As the day progressed, i got lazier so.... i don't have many photos and videos for the remaining days hahaha. Anyway, the carrot cake was quite nice and i like their soybean milk. 

We actually planned to go lefoo amusement park that day but it was raining again and after googling, we realised that it was really out of the way and will probably take us 1.5 hour to get there. So we ditched the plan and since we didn't have backup plan for that day, the group went separate ways again.

Cafe.Waiting.Love aka 等一個人咖啡 to chill. Ying kept pestering to go to this cafe so i only went to make her happy hahaha but i think their waffle was not bad although I don't fancy the blueberry sauce. 


After that, we both needed to take a dump haha. It was so shiok because we ate a lot of nonsense everyday so every opportunity to shit was a blessing. So happy that i pooped almost everyday there hehehe am i weird being so happy about it or what lol

Don't know what i was thinking hahaha

And that was the day we kept trying clothes haha. To the extent that i was so sick of it. Bought some clothes from Zara and Pull & Bear ^^



We have Godiva ice cream in SG but i was never tempted to try it. Go overseas then backside itchy wanna try lol. It was cheaper than SG anyway, about $6. Something about eating ice cream in the cold makes it very comforting.

Met our friends again to go Shilin night market aka 士林夜市. I didn't take pictures cos night market all look the same and shilin was so crowded omg. Tbh, i prefer xmd night market because lesser crowd and they have better food.


But i've finally tried coffin bread aka 棺材板! This was so good but so fattening omg. It's basically fried toast with a lot of ingredients inside. The toast was deep-fried to perfection i can't even. 10/10

Left shilin around 8-ish to go back and wash up because we are going to Club Lava hehe. Officially my favourite club to go in Taipei out of the 3 clubs we went.


I've so many stories to share but i don't think it's very appropriate to talk about it here lol. Just know that clubbing in Taiwan is generally quite happening. Poor ying even dropped her phone into the toilet bowl. 

Day 9

Day 9 fell on 31st dec so our plan was wufenpu (五分埔) > Raohe night market (饒河夜市) > countdown at 向山. We had our lunch at Formosa Chang Lu Rou Fan (鬍鬚張魯肉飯) before heading to wufenpu to shop. 




I generally like 魯肉飯 so needless to say, i've enjoyed my meal. Their soups were also very tasty so y'all can give it a try if you go there. 




Met up with the 2 guys again to shop at wufenpu but we didn't get a single shit haha. Oh, i bought 3 pairs of socks. That's about it. Since it was cold there, all the clothes they were selling weren't suitable for SG weather. I wanted to get denim shorts but somehow their denim shorts were so expensive. Like around NT900 (SGD$40). No way am i paying $40 for a brandless pair of shorts. The previous day i actually bought a pair from Pull and Bear and it was cheaper than wufenpu's. What even... lol.

Went over to 饒河夜市 for dinner. As usual, we ate a lot of street food. We were just roaming around when i finally came across a stall selling sesame noodles aka 麻醬麵 ! Ying and i were curious about it because it was like an under-the-radar dish and we only knew about it after watching Our Times.

We only ate half cos it got quite jelat towards the end

Like i said just now, we wanted to go 向山 to countdown because we can see fireworks from there but we heard that it would be very crowded, like any other area, so we have to go there really early to get a good view. Since it was new year's eve, it was hard to get around by car because of roadblocks too. In the end, we ditched the plan and decided to countdown at ximending instead. 

Went back to our apartment to chill for a while before counting down at the bar area in the front of our apartment. To our surprise, it was a gay countdown party hahahahaha. We were wondering how come the ratio of guys:girls was 9:1 as we pushed our way through the crowd. Shortly after, we realized we were at the gay countdown party instead lol but whatever.






The rest was thinking of heading to a club after that but there isn't one near our area. In the end, we decided not to since we gonna club the next day so we headed back to our apartment to watch tv and chill the first day of 2016 away haha.
