Hello people~! I'm finally blogging about my 7th day in Taipei~~ We started our day heading to LOCO Food in the city center for breakfast!
Definitely gotta start my day with coffee LOL. The coffee tasted pretty mild.
After we're done with breakie off we went to WuFenPu. I guess because it was a working day, the train was so empty!
When we got there, I dragged my friends over to the first Watson I see to shop. Since it is close to the end of my trip, I was entering every single Cosmed, Watson and Guardian stores I can see so much that my friends go, "Again". In total, I've probably spent over RM500 just purchasing beauty products for my friends and I. Mostly for my girl friends though. You can check out my earlier post on all the hauls I got from Taiwan.
Gudetama masks so adorable!
One of the interesting point I noticed from most of the Guardian / Watsons stores are that the stores have an extra floor downstairs with more products! Kinda cool IMO
This is a photo from one of the convenience store. Check out all the liquors especially the mini ones LOL
Ended up with some Japanese-style pudding ice cream too LOL
Right after that we head to WuFenPu and found the place empty.
It appears that the shops are only open at 1PM wtf. So we headed back and to the nearby station which houses a shopping mall, Citylink. Me carrying my beauty hauls LOL
Then shopped a bit. Found a stall selling Japanese brand sunglasses and went over. Ended up buying a pair of sunglasses
Then we looked around a bit and decided it's time for lunch. We had lil' bites at MOS Burger, a burger chain originating from Japan. I've heard of it a bit but it was my first time trying.
Our burgers :)
Shopped so much from Watson and Guardian I have a tons of these stickers now LOL
Selfie with my new toy wheee~~ Photoshopped my pic here cause my skin was breaking out from all the traveling stress (>.<)
When we're done, we headed back and finally all the stores are open for business.
While my one girl friend go check out each and every shops, I got tired and bought some bahulu-like snacks.
My hauls~
We spent a good over 4 hours there if not more mostly with my super shopoholic girl friend checking the stores. I was pretty bored after a while though I did find some Korean branded clothings though they were so expensive I gave them a go.
Once we're done, we headed to Raohe Night Market which was just opposite the train station we got off that morning (Not Citylink). It was slightly drizzly so we chose to dine in one of the restaurants first while waiting for the rain to stop.
This shop.
The walls decorated with photos and newspaper articles of the shop's achievements.
Look at the size of the pot!
Our lamb and pork broth~ Tasted like mild bak kut teh but it was good!
Of course I gotta have my lu ruo fan!
Then we checked out the Chinese bakery shop nearby before heading to the market!
Ordered this round okonomiyaki or egg-cabbage pancake. Apparently the vendors were so used to having tourist snapping away they only permit you to do so only if you're customers.
After my luggage shopping and while waiting for my friends checking out shoes and bags, I got myself a Popsicle.
And pink guava too! I'm sooo missing them!
It was only when we were at the market that we noticed meat broth is Raohe Night Market specialty.
Just in case you've missed out my earlier posts on Taipei, the different night markets in Taipei serves 'specialties' or common dishes offered by stalls and restaurants in the vicinity.
At the end of our walk (at the entrance of Raohe), I recognized a stall selling pepper meat buns that was recommended on Trip Advisors and decided to join the queue for it! I ended up the only one queuing while my friends shopped (=______=)
Pretty, pretty buns~
Finally it was my turn!
We brought it home to try and it was still warm. Pretty yum I would say!
And then it's time to go back :(
I brought back an extra luggage LOL.
Bought it from the night market from this shop with super friendly people. The uncles were so nice to start up a conversation having met many Malaysian and Singaporean tourists who bought luggage and bags from them. Good to know I'm not the only shopaholics LOL but then of course many people come to Taiwan to shop!
One uncle even helped me oil my luggage wheels and handle! Goodness, I'm super thankful for that! I also found a knock off Anello handbag I'm obsessing over and the aunty offered me discounts for having purchased the luggage. I ended up didn't buy and regretted LOL.
