Taiwan December 2018 - Day 10, 11

Taipei was 买东西吃东西, 买东西吃东西!

But first, Aaron had to go and pay a visit to the ENT specialist to clean his ears - a regular feature in our Taipei trips. SGD20 for consultation, treatment and medicine! A fraction of the cost in Singapore!


We had 鼎泰豐 for lunch. When in Taiwan, one must definitely eat at 鼎泰豐. The quality and taste is very different from Singapore.

After stuffing ourselves, the kids decided that they wanted to go back to the hotel to play with their gadgets, rather than shop. The adults happily went shopping.

While shopping, I needed to go to the washroom. Decided to go into 西门红楼 Ximen Red House to look for a washroom, which turned out to be a unisex washroom! 1st time in a unisex multi-cubicle washroom (not the single cubicle types in restaurants). Was definitely not comfortable using it with guys around!



Next to 西门红楼 was the Air Jordan shop - candy shop for Daddy! But turned out that I was the one who bought a pair of shoes, and he only bought a t-shirt.


For dinner, we had grilled meat at 葫同烧肉十号店. The last time we ate at this restaurant, Aaron had an extremely bad toothache. Was crying and complaining so much so that Daddy decided to bring him back to our AirBnB first, after eating only 2 pieces of beef. So this time, he made sure he had a good meal!




The meat was so succulent and tasty!



Amba Ximenting had a good spread of buffet breakfast. On top of the typical Taiwanese porridge, it also has a variety of western food, which really pleased the kids.


2nd day in Taipei, my sister brought us to a German restaurant, Wendel's for pasta.


The food was really good!



Pizza with super sweet fig.


Then it was followed by dessert!




Then it was a bit more shopping, before dinner - eat again!

We met the Wans, who were holidaying in Taiwan too, at 欣叶日本料理, a Japanese buffet place that had a good huge spread, and costing a fraction of what such a Japanese buffet in Singapore would cost. The restaurant also prepared a special birthday cake for our December baby, Gerald!


And that ended our vacation - another wonderfood, fun-filled holiday with our friends. As usual, during the last few days of the vacation, we already started planning for the next holiday!
