Adventures in Taipei: Day 4

Day 4 is our last day in Taipei pero gala pa rin kami until the last minute since our flight is around 1:00 am pa the following day.

We walked to the underground mall. Sarado pa actually halos lahat ng stalls since maaga aga kami umalis from our hotel.

Here are some of the pictures of the underground mall...

We went to the Pacific Sogo Mall at the Zhongxiao Fuxing Station to shop (sana). Since it is lunch time already when we arrived there, we looked muna for a place to eat.

We saw Sharetea and we bought some milk tea. Ang mura ng milk tea nila compared sa atin. Around P60.00 lang ito...

Again, we ate at a noodle house. Na-enganyo kami kasi maraming kumakain eh. Kaso may problem kami when we went there. Hindi marunong mag-english yung mga tao dun. Hassle to the max ang pag-order namin. Kinapalan ko lang ang mukha ko para makapag-order kami. May paper kasing i-checheck para sa order kaso lang Taiwanese ang sulat. Imagine me going around asking people who are eating there to check what they ordered. Sign language ang peg ko. Buti na lang at mababait yung kumakain at hindi ako inaway.

Here are what we ordered (imbento ko na lang ang names ha)...

Spicy beef noodle. Super anghang nito so hindi nakain ni Ai. Si hubby and brother-in-law ko na lang ang umubos nito.

Vegetable Dumpling Noodle Soup for me...

Pork Dumpling Noodle Soup for hubby...

Pork Rice with Egg for my brother-in-law...

In fairness, masarap talaga ang food nila and mura pa. Marami rin ang serving kaya nabusog kami  ng bonggang bongga.

After we eat our lunch, nag-ikot ikot muna kami para bumaba yung kinain namin.

Then we went to the new Pacific Sogo Mall to continue our window shopping. Pero ang totoong nangyari ay food trip pa rin ang kinabagsakan namin since nakita namin na may branch pala dun yung Din Tai Fung which is famous for their Xiao Long Bao (Soup Dumpling).

There is this glass window where you can see how they make the dumplings.

We bought 2 sets to try...

In fairness, it tastes good talaga. Mukha ngang nabitin ang mga boys eh.

Then we went to the higher floor and we saw these...

A pet store who sells a lot of dog clothes and accessories. Ai bought here her pasalubong for baby Rico (her toy poodle).

There is a Zen garden also in that floor...

After that, we went to the supermarket at the ground floor. Ang saya saya dun. Lam niyo ba kung bakit? Kasi nakapagfood trip kami ng di oras. Ang dami kasing free taste eh. May wine, nuts, juice and Coffee. Yung coffee ang pinakana-enjoy nila ("nila" since I'm not a coffee drinker). Nagpasample kasi sila ng Nespresso machine. O di ba totsyal ang kanilang coffee. Hehehe.

Dun din sa supermarket ay nakakita kami ng 1 gallon na Yakult which I mentioned here. Gusto ko nga sana bumili kaso di ko alam kung paano ko masisiksik sa luggage namin.

After our trip to Pacific Sogo Mall, we went back to Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Mall in Nanjin to buy my brother-in-law's Lacoste shoes. Sale kasi eh, as in sale ha.

Pero siyempre, sumegway muna kami ni hubby. We went to Mc Donalds first to eat some Taro Pie.

Sobrang na-addict ako dito. Ang sarap sobra eh. Ako pa naman ang tipong eat up to sawa kapag nagustuhan ko ang food.

See here? Happy ako di ba sa aking Taro Pie?

After buying shoes, bumalik kami sa food street to eat dinner. Kami ni Ai craving for the deep fried taro balls. Pero say mo, gahaba ng pila talo pa ang pila ng The Mistress. Hehehe...

Want some proof?

Pero it's worth the wait naman...

Here are the other pictures of what you can eat at the food street...

After dinner, time to relax naman kami. We had a foot therapeutic massage. The best talaga itong foot massage na ito. Kahit mahal, sulit naman. Nakakatawa nga lang kasi hirap na hirap yung therapist ko sa akin. Pang-olympics daw kasi ang mga binti ko! Ang tigas daw ng muscles ko, san ka pa? Kaya imbis na nakatulog kami, laughtrip ang kinalabasan.

See our happy faces (except of course kay Kuya Bimbo na wacky palagi ang pose)?

After the massage, we went back to the hotel. Saktong sakto ang dating namin since kararating lang ng shuttle service namin.

At the airport, eto ang mga nakita namin.

Nice wall decors ano? They are real plants by the way.

The duty free boutiques which are already closed that time. This made me sad talaga kasi I'm so looking forward to shop there pa naman. Pero ok din naman yung nangyari since we were able to shop sa Duty Free natin where my hubby bought my new baby which I mentioned here.

Somewhere, there is a showcase of cool saxophones...

So that's it! Finally, I was able to finish this blog series. Ano masasabi niyo sa trip namin? Puro kain ano? Hehehe.
