食尚晚家 - 样样吃,天天迟 Day 3!

Heee Day 3 of Taiwan Trip!
 
Photobucket

our only destination today is XiMenDing! not many photos today, since it's like, there's only one place and there's nothing much to take photo of! It's like shopping in Bugis, no matter where you took the photos, they look all the same, shops after shops, store after store. hee heee, okay la, my own definition lor, actually can take photos of how each individual stores look like, but I didn't. I'm thinking of implementing a idea to place all my accessories after I seen how a store has done so.

Not smart enough like them to think of such inexpensive and good idea, ha ha, I'm good at thinking of impractical stuff only LOL, and they don't come cheap too.




Let me start from the beginning (the new font Blogger is providing is really tempting me to write as long as possible so pardon me for my constant nagging hee hee). Sleep exceptionally well last night because I was so tired, i think within 20 minutes I'm dead to the world already. But still, I can't wake up LOL. initially wanted to go for the free breakfast again, but urgh urgh urgh urgh, got so tired gave it up and we head to Morita for breakfast and lunch!

We spend NT$315 (might have remembered wrongly, lazy to walk to my room right now and verify with the receipt. oh yes, I kept almost all receipts for the trip LOL) individually and for the NT315, we get to order

a main dish (choose from a variety of spaghetti), free flow of drinks, soups and cold dishes and the best free item I like? CAKE, cake as in singular, as in ONE. well, one is better than nothing! :D

the restaurant is so well decorated and so are the waitresses. Oops, sounds pretty weird that the waitresses are so well decorated LOL, i mean well groomed hee heee.

Photobucket

Early in the morning at 11am~ we got the window seats, which means we get to look at the streets while eating. :) sorry, i like people looking LOL.

Photobucket

the free flow available, fruits, cold dishes and drinks. the soup is in another table just behind this row of food. I like one of their cold dishes - which is noodles together with a lot of sauces. I forgotten the sauces, since I chose them by colour not by name LOL LOL LOL. and why why why, I picked a lot of vegetables to eat too!

tsk tsk, the influence of Motorola over me. like normally, I wouldn't pick vegetables at all, but not anymore after I got into Motorola and spend close to 1/2 year with my veggie lovers colleagues, who forced/ coerced/ cheat/ persuade/ lie/ nag to get me to eat vegetables. :P good influence cos I'm starting to like vegetables. :D :D


Photobucket

my pretty-close-to-awesome spagetti! i think. Lol, i forgotten what i ate/ordered already auctally. -.-

Photobucket

our cakes, the one just right in front is mine. pretty obvious lor, LOLLLLL, as in I take the photo, so obviously the cake nearest to the camera = nearest to me = mine.

this cake is better-than-awesome but close-to-marvelous. Whatever la, i enjoyed this piece of delightful delicious cake. wth, I'm forcing myself to come up with every single positive terms to describe what that contribute to my weight.

Photobucket

lee woon with her cake which we chose for her. regretted, she shouldn't eat. cos this is a very sinful food! :p

Photobucket

shiyun with her delightful (but well, chocolate is still much more tempting to me LOL) strawberry on a cake!

after we finished everything and while waiting for Shiyun to finish her business, I requested for a feedback form from the waitress (and I speak in a pretty serious tone hahahaha!)..

what I wrote:

Photobucket


Photobucket

LOLLL! there's 3 or 4 waitresses, and all so pretty, maybe not that pretty, but well decorated. LOL well decorated again, ha ha ha ha.

And there's this waitress who was wearing this glasses with thick frame (which I'm very interested in the glasses), I actually praised her and her glasses when I was settling bill at the counter and she was serving me.

what, normally I will just keep the opinions to myself lor, but this trip, I think I really approach a lot of people, 男女老少 统统不放过 . xD

After Shiyun came out, it was my turn, which I took really long time to complete my business LOL. good business to good health heee heee!

anyway anyway, after we are all done with our business, socialisng, people looking blah blah blah, we head off to XiMenDing and we reached at 2pm! it's just a stop from Taipei Main Station (where we are located at). So board boom boom stop reached!

Photobucket

After stepping out of Xi Men Ding station (which is underground fyi), we were like WHHEEEHEE, and within 1 minutes "take photo take photo" LOL LOL LOL.

oh, above's the top I got for $25 from Wu Fen Pu last night! or is it $30.. lol, lazy to verify with my previous blog entry.

the salesperson told me it's normal for the fur to drop, as it will stop after a while, either she was talking about the wrong jacket, or that she was just plainly lying to me, because the fur keep dropping like nobody's bussiness.

-.- okay fine, I kind of expected that ha ha, less than $30, I couldn't expect a really top quality jacket. at least it keeps me warm and it looks nice too. :D

Photobucket

saw the KFC in the above photo? that's the shop we visited the most during the whole day, for toilet bussiness! LOL. "shit I need the toilet, where's the nearest toilet?" "KFC", out of 10 question 9 answers will be that.

Photobucket Photobucket

I remember it's lee woon who took this photo for me, I like it super a lot!! <3

lol, I remember during my first year in poly, I thought <3 is just another icon for a smile, and then i used that when I was replying to one of the fencing guys (the msg was something like "sorry I couldn't make it today, but enjoy k! <3" ), and i didn't know that until i quit fencing and one of my friends told me that. still feel pretty paiseh LOL ha ha ha. good old loud days.

Lee Woon with her shoes which she brought in Wu Fen Pu last night because she finds her sport shoes too ugly! ha ha ha ha, heng she brought pumps instead of wearing her flip flop again! Heng it's chilly! :D :D

so we started shopping, brought

legs tightening hosiery (NT250)
cute socks (3 for NT60, 1 for NT33)
tube bra (NT90 <---faster chiong, thought it's just a NT10 different from WuFenPu. lameeeee i know, but oh well!)
big comb (NT20 <--so cheap just buy for home use)
2 anna sui inspired comb (NT10/20, one for me one for Peiyu cos she always comb her hair one! And I can't buy edible items for her because I have no idea when we will be meeting, like the china trip, brought biscuits for her but in the end I gorged all up because it's going to expire soon if left untouched)
sweets (to be distributed because I have no idea who I might be meeting after I return to SG)
glasses with thick frames (NT150 <--the cheapest & nicest i can find in XiMending)
Double Eyelid paste (NT60, For my sister, who in the end told me she tried it before and it doesn't work)
Fake eyelashes (NT100 , intending to sell)

i think that's about all. :D

Photobucket

took a shot in the happy hours of XiMenDing (the later the merrier, like us! LOL)

Photobucket

it's auctally only 6:30pm (just checked photo data) but it looks like it's already 8pm.

Photobucket  Photobucket

interesting shop we went to! there's this entrance (which I didn't take a photo due to space constrait) to this little room, and the window is..

a photo frame! smart, it so totally look like I'm in a photo but it isn't. :D like the above 2 photos a lot too! xD

anyway, so we walked till 7pm as we had a reservation in the toilet.......... theme restaurant. :D we managed to got there after asking several passer-by for directions. :)

oh ya! I like taiwan restaurant store concept. To get to the resturant, it is necessary to climb stairs. thought I seriously seriously hate climbing stairs (but after Alex's gf told me that climbing stairs is good for our legs than climbing down stairs) I started un-disliking stairs (but not to the extent of liking).

The first storey is always just decoration.. or nothing, but the stairs area will definitely have some form of decoration.

Photobucket

toilet theme hotel's first level which we spend some time taking photos. :)

Photobucket


Photobucket

getting to the 2nd level - the resturant itself.

Photobucket


Photobucket

we spend close to $20 per person, cheap to me considering the fact that I spoil their toilet bowl cover LOL. -.- and it happen only after we were leaving the store already. LOL, i saw that the cover was auctally spoil, as in totally cracked but decided to leave it as it is, pretend I didn't see anything LOL.

Photobucket

our food! LOL, like this photo a lot! haha. :D the food wasnt that good and it was a lot a lot a lot, so expectedly, couldn't finish it. but oh ya! like China, their rice is pearl rice most of the time, which is totally to my liking! LOL, i finished up the rice but not the meat and veggie because they weren't very nice to begin with..

sigh, now I miss HangZhou already. ): Whenever I see this photo, i will be reminded of HangZhou. 

Photobucket

and I wanted to buy the toilet bowl home auctally but it's like SG$80 to $90, so I called my parents immediately to see if the price varies a lot, which yes it does and most importantly, my home had an extra set which is unused, so no point getting it!

Photobucket

lee woon with her food! i remember it's something something milk one LOL. shit, speaking of which, I forgotten what I had, should be something with chicken LOL.

Photobucket


Photobucket

their ice cream which looks like shit and taste like errr, lol Just Acia's ice cream (automatically released from the ice cream machine, which i die die also won't eat because it's errr, oh well, let's just say not comparable to those hand scope ice cream which they have too).

as expected, didn't finish the ice cream too. 

Photobucket   Photobucket

after finishing our dinner, we continue walking in Xi Men Ding until there's really really nothing to shop and we planned to return to our hotel earlier but in the end, we spend a lot of time at the underground station of Taipei Main Station shopping again LOL. In the very end, we reach our hotel at like 11pm, prepare blah blah 12 plus again, and then I used the internet and like usual, got hooked to it and can't stop once I start!
