The last day in Taipei.. we are heading home. Boohoooo~~ set alarm to wake up for breakfast, but I turned off the alarm, allowed ourselves to sleep till 10plus.. hahaa.. funny, why do I only hear alarm rings overseas? lol..
Remember the bento set we ate on Day Four? 意犹未尽就是这么一回事~ we headed back to the same place for more bento! Haha, this time the Hakka side at 馨记. Yummm yummm.. 客家人的梅菜扣肉! 吃!!! And they serve free flow of tea.. hohoho…
We still have NT dollars! Our usual practice is to spend everything, and later worry no money for cab to airport >.< This time, Ruyi reminded us to keep some for transport.. heh.. so we did our last minute shopping at Xi Men Ding. And head back to hotel to wait for the coach bus to send us to airport.
Silly things happened again. We were supposed to pull our luggages by the roadside to wait. Then at 3pm, we saw this bus heading duno where, we told the driver, "Nope, we aren't boarding." The driver actually asked us a few times wanna board or not, we said no. The very last minute he mentioned AIRPORT! Then we say "Ah! Airport, YES!" walau~ almost missed the bus lor!! Cos there weren't any labels or company names on the bus!! Hahaha.. aiyah, this is a transit bus lah~ he is actually gonna drive us to another station to wait for the actual coach bus to airport, with the rest of the paasengers from different hotels. lol.. Sibeh 乌龙~~~
We specially left the shopping to airport to get some snacks home for the family! Hehehe.. And we are finally boarding SQ flight home again~~ Hoohohoh.. I agree totally with Miss Irony, we are spoilt, damn spoilt. LOL~ thanks to SQ great service and entertainment la! Hahahaa..
I had mixed feelings. As much as I want to head home, I do not want to head home. Because heading home meant GO BACK TO WORK on the next day! Ergh.. I still want holiday! hahahaa… but I truly wanna be home too. Hahahaaa…
WE LOVE TAIWAN~~~ ^.^
Phew! All done!! Finally can work on SG entries……… *sweatz*
oh, I forgot to post pix of my fruit juice and cup noodles!! there u go~~~
Anyway fruit juice was today’s breakfast, with 葱油饼! so nice!!
Remember we saw Mayday ytd? Today is S.H.E!! 抬头遇见S.H.E~~~ hahaa..
Since we are still in XiMenDing at 1pm.. why don’t we drop by StayReal again.. haha!! Can’t believe it’s Day Five and I haven’t get to step inside! Heh.. saw the latest designs, but I was rational enough to only buy wad I wanted! They didn’t have it, so I came out empty-handed.. There is this drunkard sleeping right at the door, oh man.. heard from the salesgirl he pee-ed!! She even asked us to avoid his pee! Yeeeeee!! Ruyi bought one instead! Haha.. she likes StayReal too! I only got mine at the 忠孝 flagship store~ i.e. the place I met Ashin! Hee..
Lunch is at this cafe 兔子听音乐, located at 古亭, i.e. nearby their famous 师范大学. No wonder they chose to open their cafe in this area? hehe.. and tats y I saw many taiwan food bloggers blogging about this cafe? It’s way past breakfast/lunch time, we can only eat some high-tea by the time we get there! Haha.. it’s quite a long walk from the MRT station!
Finally seeing this road sign!!! We found the place! Yay!!

This day is started with visiting StayReal at XiMenDing! Trust me, this is one place I wanted to visit the minute I reached Taipei, XiMenDing, I duno why we waited till Day Four~ lol.. Thanks to Ruyi’s intuitions, we located the outlet in no time.. haha! but it’s not opened yet!! Erghh..
On the way, I grabbed a fruit juice for breakfast~~ can u believe it, they had 32fruits&vege in a fruit juice pack! I feel so healthy drinking that~ lol~~
As we raised up our head, we saw MAYDAY!!!
Fine, BRUNCH then. I always like eating bento, japanese ones. Taiwan also have their own local railway bentos, known as 铁路便当. There are two that caught our attention lah.. one is a Hakka restaurant, 馨记 serving hakka food.. and the store seated beside is selling railway bentos~! Hohoho.. mai tu liao.. its location is on the way too, cos our itinerary for the day will need to go Taipei Station anyway.
We really experienced what is 赶火车.. what are Singaporeans complaining about a 6-min-mrt-interval?? Railway trains only have one train to that one destination at that one timing!! You miss it, you missed it, and it’s gonna be at least another hour’s wait!! Heh.. and because we spent too much time shopping in Watsons, we only have time to settle for the railway bento instead of Hakka food! Hohohooh.. it’s just as GOOD and CHEAP!!! For NT$69 i.e. only SGD$3, I got this traditional classic original bento~ well packed with no extra space in a wooden bento box, brings an extra touch of retro feel. Hee.. Very amused by their shopfront, playing railway track sounds in the background.. and pictures of old railways on their walls in the very low ceiling on the 2nd level.. lol..
I also bought the StayReal 滚！magazine for myself~ heh.. got a freebie bag again! =p
Bought the train tickets to 瑞芳火车站, u can see we are still so happy camwhoring on the train. Who knows, there we coked up again. Ok, I am gonna simplify this incident as simplified as I can.
