Reviving this once again because I want to note down the lovely memories of my recent trip to Taiwan. The last time I visited Taiwan was in 2005, when I went to Taipei with my mum and aunt. That trip was memorable for many reasons, some worth recalling while some aren't. But there are lessons which I've learnt from it. This time round, we've decided to keep the itinerary loosely planned. That's the beauty of free and easy trips - you can make changes as and when you want to, make worthwhile detours and simply go with the flow. Looking back, I've had a really good time with two of the coolest girls on earth. Would love to travel with them again :). We flew Jetstar Asia and touched down at Taoyuan International Airport in Taipei at 6.30 pm. We took Freego bus to Rainbow Hotel to deposit our luggage, before heading to Taipei Main Station to collect our train and HSR tickets. After we headed back to XiMenDing, we went for dinner at 飞天火锅.   This place is popular for its hot pots and we went for the buffet. The selection was alright, though some of the ingredients were rather interesting. I loved the dumplings, thinly-sliced meats and the three-in-one hotpot that allows us to choose three different stocks.  We chose the mala, tomato and preserved vegetable stocks. The mala was really potent! Hence I naturally gravitated towards the preserved vegetable one. The stocks are unlike the ones found in Singapore and contains ingredients such as pig's blood (mala), tomatoes (tomato) and three-layer pork (preserved vegetable), very interesting indeed!    Personally, I feel the hotpot is interesting but not mind-blowing. However, it's really nice to have hotpot on a rainy day like this!   After a hot and satisfying meal, we headed back to the hotel for a good night's rest before tomorrow's early train ride to Hua Lien. Oyasuminasai! |
