My heart wants what it wants.

Day 6 in Taiwan

My final last day before heading back to Singapore. And disgustingly, only this particular day that it starts to turn colder, like around 17°C, but the past few days were the hot Singapore weather. Kns. Must they do this to me?! I can finally wear my long-sleeved apparels. Lmao!

(OOTD with a random background)

But yeahs, I had been wanting to head over to this Modern Toilet Restaurant for very long already. Hahahahas! :D

(What a cool 招牌!)

(This is the eatery)

(Licking the shit)

(And our seats)

(I am pooping. Do not disturb.)

(Mummy's Rosemary Pan-Fried Chicken Thigh)

(Mei's Curry Chicken)

(My Smoked Chicken with Cream Sauce Au Gratin)

(Daddy's Signature Hot Pot)

Hahahas, I think the Hot Pot is more worthwhile, because inside really have tons of ingredients. Hahahas, the baked rice and curry chicken are delicious. However, the rosemary chicken is just so-so. LOL! :D But the total bill is only SGD 48! There are drinks and ice-cream tooos!

(Chocolate Ice-Cream)

(Hot Black Tea)

Must order the hot ones to get served with such utensils. The cold drinks only come in a normal cup as seen in the background (the blue cups). Hahahas! :D Their tea is daebak omg!

(Last photo before we leave)

It was getting late once we finished our meal. (It is better to print a map in order to find this restaurant, because it is quite ulu in my opinion, lmao!) So we headed back to the hotel to collect our luggage, and made our way to Taoyuan Airport for our flight.


(Our last meal in Taiwan)

Hahahas, completed with our Assam Tea. :D I will miss it! Then we went shopping at the airport and bought many pastries and goodies. :D


(奶油小酥饼 which is simply 赞!)


(太阳饼)


(My new love: Taro mochi)

(And many more food!)


(Souvenirs for friends)

Didn't buy a lot because my luggage is bursting. Next time, let's all just grab one luggage each. Hahahas! :DD I don't need to share with anyone. Better! 

And we had a stupid idiotic flight delay of 1h. Thanks to Tiger, arghs! Sat in the airplane for 5h instead of the promised 4h. My butt hurts. Omg.


(So we had a super late supper at like 3am at Changi Airport?!)

And this marked the end of my wonderful Taiwan trip. :D Ohyeahs baby! I love Taiwan! <3


You got me scattered in pieces
Shining like stars and screaming
Lightening me up like Venus
But then you disappear and make me wait
And every second's like torture
Hell over trip, no more so
Finding a way to let go
Baby baby no, I can't escape

This is a modern fairytale with no happy endings.

Day 5 in Taiwan

Today's attraction: 东北角海岸国家风景区

(总统府)

(Barriers)

A view taken from the taxi. It was one day after the Elections, and so we can see many barriers around the government building (to prevent protests? I mean, the national party lost so badly).

So we went to 放天灯 at 十分火车站. Legit train station, got trains drive past at times one. Hahahas. Dangerous omg. You will know what I'm saying after looking through some photos below. Hahahas! :D


(Yours truly writing down my wishes)


(Legit railway)


(Please fly further and higher!)

Stopped in the middle of the road for a photo-taking session. This is the good thing about Taiwan, you can park your car at one side in the middle of nowhere. Try doing that in Singapore, confirm warning letter. Lmao! This is the legendary 阴阳海.


(The different shades of the rocks)


(The different colours of the sea)


(The different colours of the sea make up the 阴阳, hence its name)


(WOW, the rocks is like super yellowish -.-)

Then we stopped by the 黄金瀑布. Gold because the rocks are like gold in colour due to the sun blahs blahs blahs (geog stuff). Hahahas! :D 


(Family photo!)


(And guess who I saw?)

Hahahas, fancy meeting Jojo here when I was whatsapping Seah the day before that I won't see Jojo in Taiwan one. Lmao! Fate. :D But I was just leaving when she arrived. Hahahas, so we didn't stay long.

Next up, 鼻头角步道. Yes, a mini expedition. Hahahas! :D


(At the entrance)


(Horrifying flight of stairs)


(A school located up in the mountains)


(Fishing area)


(Panting our way up)


(The beautiful flowers swaying to the breeze)


(And oops, my fringe gone!)

Hahahas, it was really windy as we made our way up. (: I guess it was because we were just next to the sea. One word to describe my feeling at that instance: 爽!


(My cute parents)


(See the sea of mountains behind us?)

(The Great Wall of China)

Hahahahas, :D Don't it look like?


(Rocks, rocks and more rocks)


(Family photo!)


(The latest version of Angry Birds)


(Closer to the sea)

Final destination: 基隆庙口夜市

They are quite different from the past few night markets that I have been to. The food they sell is quite interesting, but the goods and items are similar though.


(Some red bean soup with youtiao)


(Yam cake)


(豆花 with balls)

I love the 粉圆. Hahahas, taro balls, potato balls. Yum yum! :D I need to go Blackball soon to satisfy my cravings!


This is a modern fairytale
No happy endings
No wind in our sails
But I can't imagine a life without
Breathless moments
Breaking me down down down down

Look for the answers inside the question.

Day 4 in Taiwan

Plans for the day is just to visit 猫空. Finally a simple yet relaxing day, a day which I don't have to hike with my sore feet anymore. Ohyeahs baby! :D

(Lion dog ???)

Hahahas, spotted this super adorable dog on my way out of the hotel. P.S. the dog really look like lion luh omg. Damn kawaii! I want this breed for birthday! Please take note. Hahahas! :DDD


(来台湾就是要吃他们的卤肉饭)

Hahahas, finally I'm eating some decent meal. Hahahas! :D I guess Taichung's food don't really suit my preference. Lmao, I starved myself for the past few days. Okay actually not, I just eat everything. -.-

(The final destination)


(Say yay to hello kitty cable cars!)


(In the cable car)


(Cable cars that are filled with hello kitty stickers)


(We brought the selfie stick everywhere we go)


(And my favourite: see-through cable cars!)


(Travelling atop the trees)


(And saw sunset in the cable car)


(Dinner at a food court over there)

Spot my favourite smelly tofu again. Hahahas! :DDD


(Night view)


(Went on a hello kitty craze)


(I looked shag here because I waited nearly an hour plus for the cable cars -.-)

Hahahas, there are tons of cafes (cat-themed) and 茶馆 up there. But I am too poor / lazy to queue, so I just walked one round before travelling back via cable cars. Hahahas! :D There is nothing much for us to see because it was too dark (their sun set at 5pm). Sighpie. But when it's dark, it means time for 夜市! Hahahas!

So we metro-ed to Shilin Nightmarket for supper and more shopping. Lmao! The place changed quite a lot from my previous time there. More shops selling different stuff. Hahahas!


(But this shop is still around!)

The chicken cutlet is bigger than your face. Hahahas! :D There used to be a bubbletea store (whose bubbletea is also bigger than your face) beside me, but I can't seem to find it now. Haish.


(Cute animals that are carved from food)


(Gigantic Mango Ice)


(红油炒手)

Hahahas, this shop also changed. The taste also changed. I prefer last time's 红油炒手. Sighpie. We had tons of other food, like oyster egg. (I got phobia now, so I didn't eat it). Hahahahas!


Constantly, boy, you play through my mind like a symphony.
There's no way to describe what you do to me.
You just do to me, what you do and it feels like
I've been rescued, I've been set free.
I am hypnotized by your destiny.
You are magical, lyrical, beautiful, you are
and I want you to know, baby.
