Land of Asian Barbie and Ken dolls

went to TAIWAN-TAIPEI
aka land of bubble tea
♥ this trip!
its like my first overseas trip,
though we were unprepared
cos we din know what to do or where to go for each day.
IT WAS DEFINITELY HELLUVA FUN!!
with my bbgs!
WHOOOOTS!
a big thank you to huishan's mum and aunt who were there to babysit us!


DAY ONE


joce came to send us off !
so nice of her right! from west travel to east so early in the morning!
at 8am!!! but she came with ellie i think!
PEIFU!





arrived at ximending around evening time!
decided to explore the area
obviously the first thing we consumed was
BUBBLETEA!
it was literally food paradise,
everything was below NT 50 (sgd $2)
anyway below would be food spam.


bubble tea

3-inch burgers

pancakes with "feelings"

corn dog! HUMONGOUS and SCRUMPTIOUS
I remembered back then in ACJC, whenever we go to the sports complex,
ellie would most likely order a corn dog and cut it into freaking fine pieces to eat!
and the uncle at the sports complex cafe was real mean!


sharing a bowl of mian xian!
wasn't really good, had these shell pieces inside,
but anyway there were many people eating by the stall on the road.
met 2 locals later at a bag shop!
and one of them animatedly told us all the delicious food in taipei!
the way she narrated, would just make anyone salivate. LOL
really damn dramatic the way she describes the food!
HAHAHA then she said the mian xian we ate earlier on wasn't really that fantastic
but the shopkeeper retorted "bu hao chi, hai chi dao ze ge yang zi"
(not nice still eat until this size,
well she wasnt exactly what u would call slim)



places we explored:
1. the forked road (near ximending mrt station in taipei it is
called jie yun zhan)
this place has alot of high heels and clothes, very repetitive
and the prices are not budget friendly at all!
it's like singapore!
2. shinjoku plaza
sells mainly overseas clothes,
5 storeys high! very pricey but of better quality!

3. hiphop plaza (on the right of shinjoku)
sells 2-5th storey sells loads of hiphop shoes! jackets!
mostly guys stuff!
come to think about it, singapore lacks a shopping mall which dedicates itself to selling mostly guys clothes!
unlike 313 which has a 4storey high forever21!

now, we cant exactly blame singaporean men for not having taste of fashion then can we?
hmmm..
anyway! on the first floor, huishan and i bought cosmetics!
i bought a eyebrow pencil (really good) and like 4 types of eyeshadow over the 5 days (i made 3 trips)
eyeshadow by Rina + eyelash!
so cheap! 1 box 100NT which is 10 pairs for 5SGD,
1 pair about 50cents?!?!


BUYS FOR THE DAY(night)
