The country where we always go every as and when in the pass, but we somehow stopped. Hahas!
In conclusion with Felicia, Taiwan really changed a lot!
No more shuai ge on the streets (maybe we are very used to see those koreans plastic-ed face?)
The dressing sense of taiwanese also dropped. Remember in the pass everyone is like shuai ge mei nv on the streets. But now.....................
Anyway let's start with our 1st day!
12.03.30 (Fri)
Instead of taking cab, daddy drove me to the airport (and my friend too) [so abnormal]
Bought lots of pandan cakes and cheese pandan for friends and driver in Taiwan. Their forever favorite food in Singapore!
We took midnight flight over and so arrived at 6am!
But we gonna rot inside the airport untill 12pm for Beast flight to arrive! ~.~
Taiwanese reporter was like a 'WOW', they started arguing with the staff and that kuku photographer once beast came out. (it was all reported in taiwan news on that day itself.) [and ohmygosh~ And everyone was like telling us they saw us on the news. And it was on this entertainment new where Fahrenheit Calvin & Jiro was the reporting this article. -.- praying hard that they can't recognise us anymore!!)
What i can say is serve you right that photographer!! I hate him starting from Bangkok to Korea to Singapore to Korea and now to Taiwan! A photographer who thinks that he is very handsome but with yayapapaya attitude.
Ended up Beast apologise on behalf of him during press conference. I was like what the hell? Why must dujun be the one apologising? Why not himself coming out? But yea, after this incident i never get to see him anymore. Yea, please sack him off please!!
Anyway, taiwan airport was like a daebak! Walked for quite a long distance with them.
But actually i'm not a Beast fans anymore, i no more loving dujun anymore.. So throughout my fancam it was jintaek jintaek & jintaek! HAHA! Manager are more shuai than the idols.. Oops~
Taiwan airport are as lousy as..........
There is no vip room or passageway for them to go in, so there are like slowly queueing together with us to cross the custom.
Crossed! I still can manage to rush down to the toilet and come out and yet they are still not done yet. LOL!!!
After they left the airport, we went to the lost and found to collect our luggage. Oops~ 6hr+.
Went out to meet hwm (our driver)
And while otw to carpark, we saw jintaek & the photographer again -.- haven't leave?
Anyway, reached our backpacker at ximending. Taipei Backpacker!
It's really a cool apartment there. Not too expensive but also not too cheap. Hahas!
We booked an ensuite room for 2. There is 3 different design of the room, but we very suay got the one that we don't want. It's okay anyway, the room is quite cool though.
Instead of normal guesthouse, backpacker, this one is located inside an building which you will have 'neighbor' staying beside you, and also security down stair 24hrs. Out of the whole building, a few floors, two of the rooms are belong to the backpacker.
It's like you are really staying in Taiwan and ranted a house.
Anyway, after putting down our baggage, we head out to the 'beef shop' to have our lunch.
Happen to saw this shop while searching the location of our hotel, and then make a research about it and get to know that Taiwan TV program actually interviewed them before. Nevertheless there is quite a few good review about it, so of cause we gonna give it a try. :)
We ate the 牛肉麵, just simple beef without adding any other parts of the cow.
When it was served, by looking at the beef, we saw lots of '根' in it. Thought that it would be hard to chew there. But the fact is, everything is so soft that you can differentiate it. Really delicious!
It cost 160NT around SGD$7.20. We got the small bow, it's already more than enough for you to eat, no worry!
Staff there are all very friendly and cheerful~ Enjoyed our 1st meal in TW. Oh by the way, they do have their special homemade sauces for the beef, should really give it a try!!
Train down to 淡水 in a rush to grab whatever we wanted to buy.
鐵蛋from the brand'醍醐大師' i love that a lot. Normally tourist will go to 阿婆鐵蛋, but 阿婆鐵蛋eggs are way far too salty and hard.
Went back to hotel to put down all those thingy, i fell like i'm carrying 10kg of rice.
Meet qianci at 劍潭站 the station to shilin night market.
士林美食廣場is being moved to underground. She still haven't been to shilin ever since it moved. So we just anyhow walk and it's quite easy to spot still.
As usual, very crowded and we finally manage to found a store with seats available. So ordered 滷肉飯&生豪煎.
The famous 豪大炸雞排 i use to think that it's actually ain't that delicious, and i gave it a try again this time round. It increased price and the taste is even suckier than the pass! Ohmygoshh~ GOSH!!
Walk back to the night market and eat shaved ice after dinner! The famous store out there where we always went. As usual, gonna queue all the way far out of the shop in order to get our seat inside.
Shopped around and cici gonna go back dorm alr, as her last train is ending soon. So me & quek continue do our shopping!!
Day 1 stuff:
12.03.31 (Sat)麥爾美漢堡早餐店
Taipei Main Station台北車站地下街!
The place that i last bought my spec! It spoiled 2wks before arriving taipei! So it's telling me to buy a new pair, and yea of cause i did.
李儀餅店is very famous in 九份. But we don't have the time to go jiufen and so luckily there is an one & only one outlet in taipei.
Bought 鳳梨酥 鳳凰酥 太阳餅 蛋黃酥 from there.
Actually i've never tried their brand before, cause i know another brand which is not popular but is really delicious! But somehow that store is being closed down. No matter how i still can't find the shop. :( *sad*
In conclusion, 李儀still lose to my太和.
Carrefour 家樂福!!
Going overseas is a must to shop their super mart! And i really love the cup noodle 阿Q! (look at my luggage, it's full all thanks to the noodles!)
Almost time to head down to 台大體育館 for BEAST concert!
The stadium is so small until we are so near to the stage!
Anyway we was at the middle of the 3rd row from the stage. Great view.
After concert we head down to their hotel. (not in plan)
Luckily we still remember what hotel they are staying as our driver told us in the 1st day.
Reached and was wondering why there is no fans? Taiwanese don't chase till hotel? Cannot be right? LoL
Ended up insde the hotel we only saw the korean fans and some overseas fans sitting at the sofa.
Yes, we are tourist too. Seated down too. Hahas!
12.04.01 (Sun)
Unlike in Korea we always woke up very early. But here we woke up at 9+.
Mr.J 義法廚房, the restaurant that own by Jay Chou. Although we are not a fan of him, but i love the atmosphere and food there.
As this is last minute plan, and i totally forgot how to get to this place, we after went online and check how to get there.
There is no shuttle bus on weekend, so we took train to 市政府站 and took bus 藍5 over to 台北醫學大學.
五分埔 our next destanation!
Bought lots of dress over there. But my size, can't fit in any. HAHA!
Looking those dress that i like a lot, but can't wear, i just gonna change my sis into those style. Hahas!
Went to 忠孝復興 SOGO to buy 奶油酥 for colleague and to taipei main station to meet brenda friend to get something and also collect all those 酥/餅 there we ordered yesterday. Luckily we did made an order, everything seems out of stocks already.
Back to hotel put down everything and need to rush out to meet our friends at 錢櫃@西門町.
It's April fool day, nevertheless we fooled kunkun who came all the way from Taichung just to meet us.
Telling her that we are going for Beast 2nd show, xiaowen said she went to find her idol and cici she's still in school -.- oops~ feel so bad :(
And when xiaoyu the last one who came, we fooled her saying kunkun angry and went back, while she actually hide inside the washroom. hahas~
KTV-ing but you know, i'm totally out of track with chinese songs already. My last chinese song stopped at............. countless years ago?
So me and feli is totally there to EAT!!!
But at least i've sang some songs that i love a lot in the pass. Where as this quek totally 4hrs inside eating & eating.

No matter how many years passed, never fail to take picture with the background of this car!
Our flight was at 4pm+, supposingly still have one morning & afternoon for shopping, but Beast flight was at 1pm+ and so feli wanna go sent her yikiki off.
So we head down to the airport in the morning. Trying to see if we are able to check in earlier. But sad to say, no. LoL!
So after awhile the boys reached.....
After sending them in, we wanted to take the skytrain to another terminal.
But we walked the wrong way, ended up to arrival hall.
Just nice we saw a small crowed of fans and mind goes....... OHYA! 2PM Junho is arriving today! Hahas and so he just suddenly walked pass right infront us.
Oh... Okay~ Hahas... We can see dots dots dots appearing on top of our heads.
And lastly, shop around eat around the airport while waiting for our flight back to Singapore. :)
