TAIWAN DAY 2

Breakfast was over @ Famous Duck noodle stall. Located near XMD. It is best not to miss the chance to sample famous dishes of Ximending such as “Ya Rou Bian” for tasty duck meat. We ordered half a duck size for 6 pax, together with some beanspouts and internal organs delights.

*( Please pardon the grainy pics in between, my cam died on me halfway through:(.*

After breakfast, we headover straight to Wufenpu. Was there a tad earlier than their opening hours. So we had no choice but to travel to SOGO first. Lunch was DingTaiFeng for their chicken chop fried rice and XiaoLong Bao! Goodness! WufenPu's opening hour is around 2pm. Therefore plan your trip well. As the night falls, we walk down to Raohe Night Market. It was food again! That's why as you stroll along the rest of the photos you will see my face swell. . . . .**weightgain**

Wu Fen Pu(五分埔)

You can take a MRT train to Hou Shan Pi Station. Proceed to leave via Exit 1 and walk north along Jhongpo N. Rd. to the intersection of Jhongpo N. Rd. and Yongji Rd.

Wu Fen Pu, located in front of the Song Shang train station, is a huge market which sells many kinds of clothes and accessories varied from Japenese, Korean, Chinese Idian style to American, Europe style. It provides clothes for both men, women, and even for dogs! Not only for retail sale, Wu Fen Pu is also a place for bulk sale. Every Monday, you can see lots of retail trader come here to purchase clothes for sale. As for me, I don't really like the clothings there, moreover the price range will only be cheaper if you buy under wholesale price. But of course I did manage to find some barangs cheapo items in bewteen the streets. That's my 2 cents worth of opinion tho.

As I have mentioned, Raohe is very near to WuFenPu, so if you are nearby you might want to give the night market a visit. For us, we choose to walk a 10 mins stroll towards Raohe. There you find streets of FOOD yet again. And also do pay a visit @ Rainbow Bridge! Beautiful. No pictures over @ Raohe because the weather decided to be a "meh, and it started pouring!

We thought we should have a change of plans. So we hopped down to Club Lava. One word: WOW! Free entry before 11pm if I rem clearly. Opened a bottle and they got us a mini suite of our own. Ended the night with a hangover the following day! phewww!
