| Good morning! The view of Danshui River from the restaurant. |
 |
| MRT to Shihlin cuz mom wanted to take a picture with her favorite author. |
 |
| Shihlin night market. Had forgotten to snap pictures of this place the previous night. |
 |
| 红10 巴士. Bus ride to Yangming stop. |
 |
| That salesgirl is really friendly. She briefed me bout the good places to go. Was planning to do some shopping at Wufenpu Wholesale but decided to call it off when she said the stuff there aren't exactly cheap. She recommended Danshui and Shida night market instead. |
 |
| The baker who has written a series of recipe books. |
 |
| She brought us to her tutorial room where she conducts baking classes. It's well equipped for hands-on classes. |
 |
| Supplies can be purchased online as well @ www.cakediy.com.tw or visit their page on Facebook. |
 |
| The arts of lovely fondant. |
 |
| The baker even brought us to her guest house which I said I would suggest for a stay in Taipei. It's a lovely homestay for only NT800-1000 per person per night, which is equivalent to RM80-100 after conversion. So much cheaper than staying at a hotel. Riverview Hotel charges RM300 per night for twin sharing. By the way, that's the living hall with a large dining table. It feels like the Hogwart's dining hall in Harry Potter. |
 |
| This house is nicely furnished with a tropical ambience and it has everything in it, even a kitchen for cooking when then Shihlin market is just 10 mins away by foot. |
 |
| Rest & Relax area. |
 |
| One of the bedrooms. It sure looks cozy. |
 |
| The other corner of the rest area just beside the garden. The owner herself planted all sorts of flower and vegetables. |
 |
| Reading area with a display of recipe books. There's even free Wifi. The hotel charges RM20/24hr for internet connection. I was too stingy to pay for that. |
 |
| The balcony with a gorgeous garden view. |
 |
Toilet!! |
 |
| We left the place and headed to Danshui. The northest pole of Metro MRT track. The district well known for its naught egg (铁蛋) |
 |
| Big pau at Danshui Old Street. |
 |
| The famous fishball there. |
 |
| YUMMMMMZZZZ!!!!! |
 |
| I LOVE 鱼丸!!! |
 |
| Green tea ice cream. SLURPZ! |
 |
| Wheat milk tea. |
 |
| Statue of Dr. Mackay, Canadian medical doctor and missionary established Taiwan's first hospitals in Western medicine and formal educational facilities, including Oxford College the oldest higher-education institution in Taiwan by some measure. |
 |
| Alley. |
 |
| Cathedral. |
 |
| Souvenirs anyone? |
 |
| XL ice cream. I had too much ice cream on a rainy day. XD |
 |
| Harbour. Ferries available to take tourists to the opposite island, Bali. |
 |
| Almond tea. Wei Hao was telling me how good the almond tea there and a must try. Tasted like cough syrup (枇杷膏)to me. -_- |
 |
| Fried potato. This is so much crunchier than the one I had at Jonker St. |
 |
| Decided to dress up with a pair of boots to match the Taiwanese street style that night. :D |
 | ||
| We returned to Huaxi/Guangzhou night market for the soup (四神汤) and rice (卤肉饭). I could gobble that big bowl of rice within 10 minutes! The lady boss recommended her best pork bun (扣肉包), the best I ever had indeed. :D |
