Woke up slightly later than usual because i guess we were really tired to wake up every morning so early~~ Went out at about 10.30 am to look for breakfast, but it seems that the shops don't open till 11.30am to 12pm..
Told them that i was looking for the famous "Ah Zhong Mian Xian" , heard it was nearby and i would love to give it a try.. While I was mentioning about it, we saw it about 5 minutes later!
This is the shop of it, usually its always full with people, so full that some of them had to eat while standing up~
We were lucky that when we bought it, it was just a few people and i don't have to Queue up at all! After eating nearly half a bowl of it, people started to come~
It was kinda windy/cold on that morning, so its really good to eat something hot and warm your stomach~ =)
Totally enjoying it!The mee sua that they were using was slightly thicker and its really yummy! =) Must try!
We didn't know that they actually put in pigs' intestines.. Laopo actually bought one and ate it liek 1/4 of it.. When we realized it, she threw it away.. I felt bad though.. Didn't check with them earlier... So we headed to KFC since she needs to get her breakfast~
We headed back to our minsu to rest awhile before heading out to other places and we actually do not have any idea of going where, and yes.. My itinerary changed at the very last minute because we don't feel like going to the Leofoo village for the theme park.. So we changed our plans, without knowing where to go..
So Norman found us in the room, trying to chase us out of the room.. Asking us to go out and enjoy ourselves rather than staying in the room.. So he actually suggested of where to go~
We went to Zhong Xiao Fu Xing "忠孝复兴" and Zhong Xiao Dun Hua "忠孝敦化" for shopping.. Well, Norman suggested it so i was thinking, why not? And I wanted to visit the Hello Kitty Cafe that people had been saying~
Guess what? We lost our way! hahaha!!
Basically we found out that the shops there are rather expensive, just like Orchard road? With all those branded shops.. Yep.. Just like that~ So we headed down to look for the Hello Kitty Cafe @ Zhong Xiao Fu Xing, its actually about 10 minutes walk from the station..
Actually i forgot how we got there.. Because it was sooooo complicated! Sorry guys, if you wanna visit that place, well, you might as well check before you fly to Taiwan~
After much time was wasted by just looking for the place.. We finally found it!! =DThanks to Wan Chin~~ =X Well, my sense of direction wasn't so good, so that kinda explains why we were lost.. >.<
The concept of this cafe is really cute~ I am not a fan of hello kitty but i've got to admit that this cafe looks really good and cute~ We can't wait to taste their food~ But there was a long Queue waiting for their turn as well~ We were next~ So we wait patiently~
Aint the cafe cute? =) 
Yes, Almost everything is design with Hello Kitty~ I love the seats though~ keke~Ordered our food and starts eating~ It's actually quite affordable~ I don't find it expensive though~
Introduction of the food~~
Seriously, this is good! One thing which is really good about the food was, they gave LOTS of fillings! We ordered Chicken mushroom for the filling, and this bread was STUFFED with chicken and mushroom!! YUMMS!! =)
Japanese Chicken Curry Baked Rice, still okay, not as nice as i expected it to me, well, just normal i guess~ 
Almost all the food was with Hello Kitty's design on it~ Even drinks too! 
Desserts~~
Well, i gotta say, not as good as it seems to be, so don't get too high hopes on it.. Its taste Ok but not great.. Esp for the Tiramisu, the taste of the alcohol was too strong, that i don't really taste the aroma of the coffee.. Well, you still can give it a try though~ 
We spent about 20 bucks (SGD) per person in this cafe, we ordered quite a lot.. So i guess its still okay~Once we finished our meal, we headed down to Taipei 101, we gotta MRT down from Zhong Xiao Fu Xing to Taipei City Hall station, find exit 2, and you can take a shuttle service to Taipei 101, we were lucky enough to get the shuttle bus once we reached exit 2, actually the map said that exit 3 have shuttle service as well, but we just saw shuttle service right in front from exit 2~
Boarded the bus, and one more thing we worried about, how do we alight??
I was discussing this with laopo and the person who were sitting just in front of us, guided us~ We were standing up due to lack of seats and we were looking here and there. So its obvious that we were tourists~~ haha!! So thankful that he helped us~~ =)
This is how it looks like inside of the Taipei 101 Mall~~ 
We bought our tickets~ Its about 17 bucks (SGD) to get up to 89th floor to view~~ They said that the highest floor was closed due to the weather and such, will only starts opening during July.. Well, i don't quite believe it though~ =X
This is the video that i wanted to show you guys ~~ =)
Took us 37 Secs to go up from 5th floor to 89th! Fast isnt it? And you can totally feel the air going into your ear.. =.= It Hurts!When we were there, it was still bright, so we decided to walk around and wait till its dark~ Wanna enjoy the night view! =) That's our main purposes of going to Taipei 101 ~
This is the "Ball" that balances the whole building~ I heard it from Laopo actually~ After this trip, i realized that Laopo loves Geographic, Science and History! Seriously! I seem so stupid in front of her!
GEEZ! HAHAHA! I learn a lot from her actually~ =)
HAHAHA!! Lots of fun times and picture time with the Damper Baby, that's what its called!Finally! The night time was here~~
GORGEOUS isnt it? It was such a breath taking view!! LOVE IT! =)After hanging around for awhile, we decided to go~
The video was nicer right~ =) But i like this picture too~ 
This is where you buy your tickets to Taipei 101~
Took a cab back because we don't want to find our back to take a bus and train.. So we decided to take cab back to Ximending~
Didn't really get to shop much at Ximending~ Chin went back to the minsu, she said, she wanted to buy some Comics and go back to rest~
Walked around and i was hungry!
I didnt manage to take a picture of what i bought earlier before this, i bought “大肠包小肠” , its like a big sausage made up with glutinous rice wrapped with small pork sausages in it~ Its really YUMMY!!!
And this, i was buying “盐水鸡” Its like a varieties of cold dishes but cooked, mixed with pepper, and other flavorings which i have no idea what~ Its nice! =)
Laopo bought crepes~
HAHAHA!! I wanted to try this BUT people were basically Queueing for it! hahaha! Its actually a Cock shaped pancake or something like that~ LOL!!After buying food back to minsu for dinner, we hit the sack and got ready for the next day~ Hot spring the next day! =)
