I shall just sum up the last 2 days of my Taipei trip in a post. Probably some of you are already bored with this forever-eating thingy in Taipei. Just bear with me a tiny weeny more..... =p

I remembered that the one at Jiufen was so good and I was really yearning for beef noodle in Taipei. Since I didnt go Jiufen this time round, I googled for the nearest beef noodle at Ximending and found Lao Wang Ji.

The place doesnt come with a signboard and we could have easily missed the shop if we had not browsed other bloggers' pictures. From the outside, it was really misleading... =_=

We ordered both 紅烧 and plain soup base. The 紅烧 one was definitely more tasty although slightly spicy, beef was tender and I liked the broader flat noodles. Still, I prefer the one at Jiufen as I love the strong herbal taste.

Service was fantastic here. We had a designated serving staff and her service was really top notch. She will say "thank you" whenever she served us food or cleared our places. She helped us to bbq the meat and also asked for feedback.  Overall, the food didnt wow us, but I must say it was really worthwhile. All you see above was less than S$20 per pax. 

Shida Night Market

Weather was really not good when I was there in May. It was raining almost every other day and we seek shelter and at the same time settled our dinner at Bull King. Food was passable but again huge portion. I think probably because we were at Shida, which is near the university so a lot of hungry growing students and thus to cater to their big appetizer. Haha

This is the wholesale market place, so you can really find cheap stuff here. And it's mostly sheltered. Unlike the night market, you can start your shopping in the noon till late! But don't be too kiasu and come too early, the shop owners don't open the shop till noon, say about 12 plus? 

You will need lotza of patience. Not all the clothes are hanged nicely on the rack for you to browse, you basically have to dig the sacks which are lying all over the place. Do it discreetly, otherwise the staff may scold you. They will tell you that all the clothes are on the racks or on the wall already. Bluff one, there are so many sacks of clothes, how to hang everything? =p

I don't know when will I get the chance to wear this shirt as the material is quite thick. Well, hack care, it's Hello Kitty so I just buy

Clothes here are quite trendy. And can you imagine I bought the skirt for S$6 and I saw the same thing at some random shop in Singapore selling at $19.90? Coz it's so cheap, I bought the same skirt in 2 colours. Keke

My new-found favourite shopping place. Not so much clothes, but they have really nice cheap shoes and bags here. I really regretted not buying more shoes. They were mostly NT390 and came with cushion soles.

The whole area stretched from Taipei Main Station to Zhongshan Station and then Shuanglian Station.

Shoes can be found at the underground stretch from Taipei Main Station to Zhongshan. Shuanglian stretch is mainly books and boring stuff. Haha. I cant recall any interesting there.

At Taipei Main Station underground mall itself, it has this Y,Z and K zone. K zone is more atas, restaurants and cafes. I 'deposited' my hubby at one of the cafes and I went alone to 'war zone Y & Z'. I think it's more effective and efficient to shop on my own!

I bought this cute cropped top with polka dots at about S$10plus? My criteria is 'stricter', I dont want to spend more than S$30 for an item in Taipei, so I didn't really find many items here. =p
