Taipei Shilin

Hi all,

Shilin night market (near Jiantan MRT Station) is one of the most famous and biggest in Taipei.

It has 2 sections, 1 is in a building which comprises of mostly food vendors, and another is nearby the building, where there are many non-food vendors selling clothes, toys, accessories, skin products etc. It is really a good shopping and eating paradise.

I am going to write about food now. There is a popular food stall selling Taiwan Oyster Omelette! You know the famous Taiwan drama series, Corner with love 《轉角*遇到爱》, casting Da S and Xiao Zhu Luo Zhi Xiang? Apparently, the stall's signboard caught my eyes. The Chef of this stall taught xiao zhu how to cook oyster omelette! Yum!

I tasted the oyster omelette twice (I went back another day)! It is different from the oyster omelettes that I tried from other food stalls in Taipei. It is slightly flatter thus the texture of eating the oyster omelette is different. The oysters are very fresh. It is worth a try!

I took some pictures.

Trip to Taiwan!

Hi all, =)

I am back from Taipei! I went to Taipei from 29 Jul to 2 Aug 2010. I departed from Singapore on jetstar. The plane was scheduled to fly at 7am, however there was some delay because of a sick passenger. Oh well I don't mind. Overall it is a fun trip. It is good to bring someone who is close to you to Taipei, you get to share the food and have fun shopping together. Like I did! =)

In the 5 days trip in Taipei, I went to Ximending, Shilin, Wufenpu, Xin Beitou, Zhongxiao Fuxing and Mr. J French-Italian Restaurant II (opened by Jay Chou).

Ximending, Shilin and Wufenpu are well-known places in Taipei for its shopping. The Taiwanese food at Shilin are also very popular. Xin Beitou is famous for its hot springs. Zhongxiao Fuxing has shops underground. It links up with 2 other train stations. There are also many departmental stores around the train station. If you have time, you can go there to shop. If you are in a rush, in my opinion you can skip it.

In the next few posts, I will write more about Ximending, Shilin, Xin Beitou and Mr. J French-Italian Restaurant II in Taipei. This is for those who may be interested in going to Taipei!
