In continuation of my Taiwan Trip (gosh, I'm losing the enthusiasm to blog ): Too many pictures)
We started our day with this random wanton noodle shop, hidden in the corner. Amazingly, it is 24hour!
Mom's dumpling noodle (soup)
I ordered dry noodle as I thought that it will be like SG wanton mee. But I was wrong ):
The noodle wasn't "mee pok" and they got no chili...omg
Okay they have but it's something like chili oil. Hmm
After breakfast. We took Jieyun to Taipei Main Station 'cos we are taking a train to 九份!!! YAY (:
九份 was really a very nice place, it's like a night market up at the top of the moountian. I love the fresh air, food, people, dogs...EVERYTHING!!
Another way to 九份 is by bus. According to my research, you can take the Tze Chiang Limited Express which cost about NT136 for a return ticket and arrive at Ruifang(瑞芳) Station. After which you have to take another bus to bring you up to 九份
The new Jieyun map. Can't find the updated one from internet hence I've to deal with the old maps.
Not much change though, the new brown line and extended blue line.
Alight at Taipei Main Station and walk toward TRA . Tap out from Jieyun.
Walk towards an entrance that says "To TRA Trains"
There's 2 different stairways that lead to different platform. Turn right to Railway Platform 4 (第四月台)
We had a hard time figuring out how the train works. We asked around and some of the locals even told us that they've never been to 九份, hmmm.
In the end we met some HKers, chatted and became friends. Lucky my mom can speak some canto and they speak Chinese quite fluently too. Still, I don't like the idea of follower HKers. They really have some attitude problem -___- Taiwanese hands down yoooo! They're so kind and gentle (well, some...mostly)
At least they doesn't push and shove around in the MRT!!! Yes, sadly being in HK's MTR really sucks. They knocked into you like it's normal, push you around like a poor puppy -___- IT WASTHAT BAD!!
The card you MUST get. I think they called it the you you card or easy card. Min top up NT200 and they card cost NT200. Return this card at the end of the trip for a NT100 deposit back.
Fell asleep on the train about 40 mins to get there from Taipei Main Station.
And we took the bus up to 九份.
Magnificent view out there!!!
Our first meal/snack up high in the sky!
The best hotdog around!! Love it to bitz! So big and juicy. HEEHEE
Tried their smelly toufu (臭豆腐)!
So when you're in Taiwan, you gotta try AI-YU!! (爱玉)
It was quite an eye opening experience 'cos I didn't know that 爱玉 came from a fruit! Quite amazing!!
We cleared the whole shelf *it's only the starting btw*. Lugged back 12 nougat and my personal fav will be the crranberry. YUM!
We almost give this a miss! Thank God I insist of trying. We heard from a local there that when you're up in 九份. You must try the Nian Gao (年糕 - Taiwan's style)
Many locals (eg students) came all the way up just to eat this. And yes, do expect a long queue.
There are different favours eg yam, green tea (i think), the white ones should be original and yellow one is tapioca.
Check out the beautiful mountain behind us!
(The photo was taking in the middle of the road I can't help, we were an inch away from the huge buses -__-)
The view was sooo good when we were walking downhill.
Saw that one inn was used as the 拍戏现场 for the drama " On Air "
Yup and till then. Taiwan Day 2 part 2 coming up.... 十分大瀑布!!!!!
This post is the continuation of TW Day 1 (part 1) and TW Day 1 (part 2)
