Taiwan Day 13 (25 Dec Taipei-乌来-士林夜市)

Merry Christmas, everyone!! Thank you to those whom have sms-ed me!! Sorry for not being able to reply ;p

The weather was good!! Thank God! So we took the chance to go Wulai, a place famous for hot spring 美人汤! My irritating hubby said I am ugly so most suitable for me hahah!!

To get to Wulai, we took metro to 新店 Metro Station, then transfer public bus which cost NT40 per pax for the 30min ride.

Lunch along the Wulai Old Street. It has pictures of the owner & 阿宏 (Taiwan cook-host) so we gave it a try. It was ok, but expensive!! Just these 3 dishes cost NT330!
-> Pumpkin fried bee hoon
-> Don't remember what vege already..
-> Fried mini spring chicken

Then we went up to Wulai Waterfall via the log cart – NT50 per way per pax.

Attempted to climb the remaining journey up to the highest point but gave up cos it was really tiring hahaha!! So we walked back down to Wulai Street, then went hot spring!

Checked out a few and chose 宛布汤. NT700 for 1hr in this type of private room – oversee the river, has TV. They offer a free drink after the hot spring session. It was really relaxing ;) The only thing is how do we know if the water really came from the natural hot spring? Hahah!!
-> Resting area where customers can have a complimentary drink after their hot spring session.

Went back to town to the famous 士林夜市 for dinner. Ate a variety of food again!! Haha!! The entire place was sooooo very crowded!! My goodness!! As though it was a weekend! Actually, part of the reason was cos there were illegal stall holders who set up their make shift stalls in the middle of the walkway! So happened we witnessed police raid hahah!! All of them ran!!


Paiseh, no pictures of the food we ate, too busy eating lah hahah!! Whenever we see people queue, we also joined in the queue haha! We had 豪大鸡排 (SUPER big fried chicken culet – no joke! They claimed they were the founder of 超大鸡排),爱玉冰 (something like cocktail jelly),葱油饼 (fried onion pancake – oishi!!!),大阪烧 (bacon, pineapple & lettuce pancake),木瓜牛奶 (papaya milk shake),花枝庚 (squid & bamboo shoot thick soup). YUMMY!!!
