Day 5: Taipei

Had Macdonalds for breakfast before depositing our luggage a Keyman’s Hotel 怀宁旅店. We then headed to Longshan Temple. It was sunny that day.

Then to Ximending, where Jiale would go "WAAAAAAHH!!". Shopping for all the cute stuff starts here! Wanted to have lunch at 马辣顶级麻辣鸳鸯火锅, but was too crowded. So we made reservations to come back the next day. We settled at a Japanese restaurant for lunch, where I had a mouthful of uni sashimi... yummy! The Jap food was surprisingly not expensive at all! That was Chiew Yee jie jie's treat for me. ^^

3 pm, and it was time to gather to proceed to the next destination - Hello Kitty Sweets Restaurant!! We were super mad inside, snapping photos at almost every corner. Click for food review.

If there wasn't a need to rush for time, we would have stayed there for dinner. We proceeded to Miramar where 换换爱 was filmed. The big ferris wheel and the departmental store? Recall? And the bridge where 童嘉蒂 and 霍彥 met? And when 霍彥 threw money at her face?

Then finally the last destination of the day - Shilin night market. The whole place changed since my last visit in 2005. We followed the map and went rightwards, and couldn't find the night market. Little did we know, it had shifted to the left-side of the subway station. The 雞排 was bad. Not crispy at all. And the place has turned into a Changi-village style. No more small carts. The cleanliness is still bad, otherwise, worse.

My legs have finally protested on Day 5. My leg muscles ached like mad. This was also the only night I slept with Meihui and Jiehui. Meihui gave me two pieces of salon pas, and aunt also gave me some oilment to rub-on. Poor legs. We had been walking from morning till night everyday.
