台湾早晨的阳光是特别温和,应该是要转冬的缘故吧!醒来的第一刻就看见枕边的老公叫醒自己的模样。不习惯早醒的我也在北投的早上赖一赖床。第一个梳洗的当然也是老公咯,好让他这个枕边的多赖一下下床咯!梳洗过后,我们六人就到该饭店的小餐厅享受个丰富的早餐。
早晨清新的空气,一点点时下时不下的毛毛雨,空气中带一点咸咸的味道,感觉是真的特别不一样。一面听着水流声,一面慢慢的品尝饭店备有的早餐。太阳蛋的上层没有一滴一滴黑色的液体,也没有那少许的灰粉,但是吃进嘴巴里的太阳蛋却带点儿咸咸的味道,原因就是太阳蛋上已经放有一点点的盐巴。色相看上去是有点儿缺了什么似的,但是吃进去还是能品尝平时都吃的太阳蛋。没有辣椒酱,一样还是吃得下。偶尔一点点的不一样算得了什么?
吃完早餐,我们各自回到房间,当然又再泡一次温泉咯!钱都已经付了,当然就要享受一切。但是温泉只能泡个10至15分钟,休息休息一下。每一间房间的洗手间都会放个警告牌,规矩都得跟。中午12点正,把房间给退了,德士也安排好了,再往另一个地点去。
下一个地点是西门町,就住在东龙大饭店,接下来的五天就只住这间。饭店是真的干净,工作人员一个个面带笑容, 就是那张床有点硬,像是睡在地板上一样。就只是五天,没什么大不了的事啦!住在西门町方便得很,要德士有德士,要地铁有地铁,要买什么需要的用品,一切都在附近,用脚走去就行咯!
房间看出去的风景行李箱都安置好后,就是午餐时间咯!在西门町的第一餐,就是鲁肉饭与一些小菜。我们个个都吃得津津有味,老公更是赞不绝口。吃饱以后,就是逛逛的时候咯!在台湾就只是吃和逛, 哈哈!饭店的附近就有个卖苦瓜汁的店面,有个阿哥就天天站在店前,看见我们就跟我们推销,他还用了广东话似乎懂得几种语言。最好笑的是,他每一句之前都会先转舌头,trrr..... 的一下再接他想说的话。
鲁肉饭在西门町转了一圈,又转移了目标,这次是到后山碑的五分埔。在五分埔,我们也不忘了再吃较出名的鲁肉饭。 五分埔的商店,都是一些批发商,想买的衣服鞋子,钱包与手提袋都可以在这里买得便宜, 但是一些商店只是批发而不零售,要买就要看好,别走了进去才发现他原来就只批发。

往五分埔咯!
又是鲁肉饭在五分埔逛街,自己花了少少台币,买了些小朋友的衣服给老公的侄儿们,也忍不住买了件自己觉得可爱的衣服给下个月生日的表妹。除了这些,我也花了一些在手提袋上,六个,不过份啦!两个自己的,其他就是妈咪和妹妹们的。逛完五分埔,已经是傍晚六点咯!这时的地铁都挤满了人,学生啊,放工的啊都一一搭上地铁各自回家咯!我们也一起挤上地铁,再回到西门町休息。
拥挤的地铁七点半左右,从西门町搭的士来到另一个美食与购物的天堂,士林夜市。星期五的晚上,夜市格外多车也格外多人。士林夜市外的小贩中心,也是人山人海,个个都在排队买吃, 有的就坐在旁边,边吃边聊天,有的来来往往你去东我去西。
满满的士林
人山人海终于啊!吃到了我想吃的炸鸡排,也吃了很多不同的美食, 例如鸡蛋蚵仔煎,贡丸汤,大肠包小肠,大饼包小饼,当然还有珍珠奶茶。呵呵!士林夜市的人潮真的很多,连狗狗们也出来逛街咯!我们五人当中第一个消费者竟然是两个大男人,他们也会有忍不住想买的念头哦!哈哈!
炸鸡排与鸡蛋蚵仔煎
我的最爱两个大男人买了球鞋,名牌哦!自己也敲了老公一笔,买了个Adidas粉色的鸭帽。呵呵!之后,就正式逛士林夜市咯!台湾的夜市,都非常有次序,走进去一定是右边,出来的一定是左边。这样就不会人与人碰撞,也不用晃来晃去的,逛夜市也逛得舒服些。哪儿像本地,逛个夜市都逛得你推我挤的。伤脑筋!
在士林夜市没有买什么东西,反而是吃得多。吃的有煎鸟蛋,很好吃哦!臭豆腐,站在旁边是觉得很臭,但是吃进去味道还不赖。不敢吃臭豆腐的我,也吃了想再吃,还有花枝。 吃着吃着,走完了整条街,临走前还看见了白色的黄金猎犬。好大只,好白,好干净哦!忍不住就想着拍照了!

白白的黄金猎犬!好酷!Taiwan 6 Days Trip (2)The morning sun in Taiwan is specially warm, it should be cause by the changing season. The moment when I woke up, I saw the looks of Hubby trying to wake me up. Not being used to waking up as early as that, I lay on the bed for a little while more. The 1st 1 to wash up of course was Hubby, at the same time to let me lay there a few minutes more. After washing up, we got to the dining area of the hotel to have our provided breakfast.
The morning breeze in Beitou, the drizzling rain bit by bit, the air had a taste of saltiness, the feeling was indeed different from the way we used to be. While listening to the running water, we ate our breakfast, enjoying the morning air. On top of the sunny egg, there wasn't any drip of black liquid, there wasn't any pinch of greyish powder, but there's still a little saltiness about the egg. The reason, of course they've pour some salt on it. At the looks of it, it doesn't look any tasty, but when you chew and tasted the egg, its still has the taste how we used to eat it. There were no chili sauce but it was fine. Having a little difference isn't that bad at all, right?
Finished our breakfast, we got back to our rooms, of course its spring bath again. We've paid for it, might as well utilities it. But there were only 10-15 minutes for us to soak in the bath. Every room in this hotel, there will be a signboard on the bathroom wall with all the rules and regulation about spring bath. 12pm sharp in the afternoon, we've checked out and arranged for taxis, ready for the next destination.
Our next stop is Ximending, we will be staying at East Dragon Hotel for the rest of the days. The hotel was indeed very clean, the workers were all smiley but the bed of theirs, it was too stiff, as if I was sleeping on the floor. But its only for 5 days, I guess there wasn't any big deal of it. Living around Ximending its really convenient, there'll be a taxi when you need it, the MRT station was in a walking distance, anything you need to buy would be nearby to get it, all you need are those 2 feet of yours.
It was lunch time after we settled our hotel and luggage. Our 1st meal in Ximending was Pork Rice with some other little dishes of vegetables, groundnuts and squids. The rice was delicious and so do the little dishes, Hubby especially liked it a lot. After meal, its time for shopping. Nearby our hotel, there's a shop selling Bitter Melon Juice, a guy of that shop would stand in front of the shop to sell, the moment he saw us, he would use Cantonese to speak to us. The funniest part, he would always curl his tongue with a trrr... sound and continued with what he wanted to say.
Walking 1 round in Ximending, we changed destination again, this time, its Wufenpu. Just around Wufenpu, there's another shop selling Pork Rice again and we had another round of it before conquering the shops in there. At that area, most of the shop were wholesale seller. If you want to get some clothes, shoes, purse or handbags, you could get it there with a cheaper price. But some of the shops, they would only do wholesale instead of retail, you should really keep an eye open for the sign for retail sellers.
Walking around Wufenpu, I've spent a little too, buying some children clothes for Hubby's nephews, I've also bought a dress that I thought it was cute for my cousin whose birthday is next month. Besides that, I've also spent some on 6 handbags, 2 for myself and the others were for mummy and sisters. It was 6pm in the evening when we've done with shops hopping. The MRT at this hour, it was crowded, the students and those office workers had all boarded the MRT to get home. We too had boarded it and went back to Ximending for a rest.
Around 7:30pm, from Ximending, we took a taxi to get to another heaven of shopping and food, Shilin Night Market. On that Friday night, the night market was so crowded with taxis, cars and the people. At the Hawker Center, it was crowded too. Some of them were queue-ing up for food, some sat at a corner talking while eating and some walking here and there.
Finally, I've had the chance to eat the original Fried Chicken Chop and also other delicious food, such as Fried Oyster Egg, Meat Ball Soup, etc... and also Taiwan Bubble Tea. Hehe... It was really crowded in Shilin Night Market, even the dogs were there for a walk. The 1st to spent among the 5 of us were the 2 big guys, they couldn't resist the buying power too. Haha...
Both of them had bought a sport shoe each, and its branded! I've also knocked a sum from Hubby and bought a Pink Adidas Cap. Hehe... After that, we really started our hunt in the night market. Night markets in Taiwan, they have their own sequences, if you're walking in, you need to go on your right of the street and to come out, it'll be on your left. Walking in their night market was much more relax and comfortable than the ones in Malaysia, at least, we don't have to push and squeeze each other to walk through the street.
We didn't buy much at Shilin Night Market, instead, we bought a lot of food. There were fried bird eggs, it was really delicious. Smelly Taufu, standing beside the stall was really smelly, but when you tasted it, there wasn't any smell and it taste good. I didn't dare to taste it at 1st, but after tasting it, I wanted another. Eat and eat, we've went through the whole street, before leaving, we manage to get hold of a White Golden Retriever to have a photo shot. Its so huge, so white and so clean! We couldn't resist for to shoot a few more pictures.
