Holiday with my mum - Taiwan (Part 2)

Oh dear…I think I really need a holiday after my Taiwan trip. Seriously, the amount of travelling was absolutely horrendous!! It has been quite some time since I’ve been on so many long bus rides. And checking into different hotels every nite!!

But all in all I’ve to say that going to Taiwan was fun and both my mum & I had a great time. The excitement began the moment we landed and did not stop till we boarded the plane back, yes, the itinerary was that jammed packed!!

Some highlights of the trip are:-

Dinner at Five Cent Driftwood House at TaiChung. I must say, this restaurant is pretty unique because of its cave theme. I felt like I was transported to one of the caves in Mulu, sans the guano smell, of course!

Ohhh...btw..dont ask me about the food, because I was so busy taking pictures I could not remember what I ate!!!

National Palace Museum (of course I saw the famous Jadelite Cabbage & Siu Yoke), but since there no cameras allowed, I could not snap any pictures.





Taipei 101….ahahaha…to think that I’ve never even considered going up to KL Tower if not for the Towerthon!! By 5pm, the sun begins to set in Taiwan, so I could not see much from the top!



Lunch at DinTai Fung, infamous for Xiu Long Pau and fried rice (apparently each grain of rice is covered with egg). Gosh, one cannot imagine the amount of people queing up for a table. There was a long line outside and inside the restaurant it was jam packed too!! (btw there is also a branch at Mid Valley Gardens...)

There is still quaint Chuifen & magnificient Taroko Gorge, but let's leave that for Part 3. Time for a break. That reminds me, one of the hotels we checked into has a Jacuzzi in its bathroom, soaking inside after a whole day of walking is definitely heavenly!!!
