Taiwan 16/12/12

The 3rd day for us to be in Taiwan is the most exciting one for me!!! We saw panda!!! It was so exhilarating to see one of God's extinct creature live in front of my eyes ^^ Ok la~ I let the pictures doo all the job. Hehehe~

Had to cut down on meat for breakfast. Just plain porridge with bamboo shoot, french toast & fried carrot cake

Taking our ride to Taipei Zoo~~ Huhuhu

What I see from inside of the moving train O.o

We are finally here after about 9 stops :p

Entrance

The long queue outside to get our train ticket *phew*

We decided to get on the shuttle train to go to the end of the zoo and walked down to see the other animals along the way instead of walking all the way to the other end :p

The end of the zoo has these different kinds of animals


One of my favourite spot

Lucky to see them during their feeding time

This fella seems like he is being punished standing alone at this corner while the others are feeding at the other corner (pic above)

This species of penguin is half the height of SY :s

Me & Baby Penguins :)

This species has a unique name *LOL*

These are the jackasses!!! LOL

After looking at the penguins we had to rush down to the shuttle train station as we wanted to see the pandas. We skipped other animals and rode the shuttle train down again. Our ticket for the panda was at 11am

Feeling the breeze while going down

This is my aim of coming to the zoo. See live panda

We were right on time for their feeding. Here the panda is trying to grab the carrot that was hanging 

Failed the first time so...

Try again!!!

Feeding on bamboo this time :)

After from the panda site, we walked our way up again to see the other animals that we missed and we came across this shop that has these *kekekeke*

Got ourselves a milk bar and share ^^

We saw this koala last and it was sleeping =.="

After from the zoo, we had lunch at this place. SY's uncle treated us to this place to have steamboat. Food was really good!!!

Basic dish

Free slurpee~ I created the end :p

I did not take the basic soup base. I ordered for kimchi soup and it was marvellous!!!

I was so sakai that I had to take pic of these eggs. LOL XDD They are white in colour and they got stamped on :p

Since SY uncle insisted we add on meat for our order, I ordered these as per recommended by SY's uncle. Boy this is premium quality pork!!!

These clams came along too

The pork meat after being cooked

The clam was juicy too *drool*

My dessert. The ice cream was so tough to dig out thus the ice cream looks so little in my cone :(

SY and her relatives

SY's relatives are so sweet. They insisted I take a picture with them too ^^

After lunch, we shopped some more at Taipei Main Station area where there were many small stalls. Dinner came and we had our dinner at the station area. Came across this stall that serves hand made noodles. This is their order form

SY's beef noodle

My plain noodle with pork chop

After dinner we shopped some more around Ximending area and came across this stall that sells chicken chop

Of course we got to try as we didn't get one at Shilin Market
We ordered one and shared. Tastes good!!!
Next to the chicken chop stall, was a stall that sells cooling drinks *LOL* Nice strategy though. I got sugarcane with lemon ^^

Taiwan 15/12/12

Hi everyone...continuing on my blog posts about my trip in Taiwan ^^ Considered to be the second day  in Taiwan on 15th December, we decided to meet up with Shin Yi's relative. We met up with her aunt and cousin at first then later in the afternoon we met up with another auntie of hers. SY's (Shin Yi) aunties are so cool. They would take care of us and always pay for meals bills. That makes me extremely shy as most of our food bills reach over 1000NTD :s Anyhows, it was really nice of them also to bring us down town to have some sightseeing, shopped at Taipei 101 (famous landmark in Taiwan) & have dinner at Din Tai Fung (famous for its dumplings).


Not to bore u all further, let me put up the pictures of what's happening on 15/12/12 with further narration under each picture. For more pictures please look into my Facebook ^^ Cheers~



We started our adventure at 10am and we were firstly being brought to this historic place. This is an old building

Old buildings of the community hall. Now it is open for sight seeing only

This hall is like a museum whereby they display all the old old stuffs. Too bad no photography inside :(

On our walk to Taipei 101, we saw this elementary school. Its standard is something of MS in Brunei. Bear in mind this is just a PRIMARY school. 

What I like about this school. Got swimming pool!!!

Not far from the school, we spot this. Wuhoooo~

At one of the entrance to the building

Me & the christmas decoration of gold horse

My lunch drink

Our lunch :p 

We dropped by to this market to initially hunt for lap cheong. And we stumbled upon this stall. This stall is very famous for selling ready cooked dishes. As what SY's auntie said that this stall is always fully packed especially on the eve of CNY

More sight seeing again. This time we passed by a Teachers' Training College =.="

Christmas decoration in front of the college

Then comes dinner time :D

I just let them do the ordering :p

1st dumplings

2nd dumplings
3rd dumplings

SY and her relatives

We took the train back to our hotel ^^
