Been busy for pass 2 weeks and no time to update my blog about my Taipei trip. This trip i travel with 6 boys and 3 girls (include myself)- Jonathan & Alicia, Ah Yao, Ah Foo, Alex Wu, Jayson, Aik Hao and Kim.
19th Sept - We took 5pm Flight and reach Taipei Tao Yuan Airport around 12am. I've asked Ann's House 陈小姐 to help us book a mini bus transfer us to Ann's House. Reach Ann's House already 1.15am. We love the service apartment, with nice home decor, clean and tidy. There are 4 Queen bed room and 1 single bed room. Average we pay RM70-80 per night. With wifi, with 1 PC for us to use, with branded Shampoo and shower gel too.
What places we went for the next few days?
The next day, We went to 九份 and kim went for consultation on her liposuction. 九份 is just famous with their 九份老街.Full of old buildings with food stall, souvenir. We spent around 4 hours then we took bus to Taipei City. We did went to 师大夜市,士林夜市 as well. Bought few pairs of shoes in 士林夜市, very cheap at RM20/pair only.
We went to 新光三越,101广场,sogo few shopping complex as well. 西门町 is a famous shopping place too just like bukit bintang in KL, but we did not spent long time there, guys bought lots sports shoes in 西门町. We ate 阿宗面线 in 西门町 which they don't provide tables, only with chairs. Actually 阿宗面线 面线 cook with 大肠, and the soup is just like 罗面soup, which they do put vinegar as well but taste good also.
淡水 is a good place to see sunset and luckily we able to see it. 淡水老街 is quite big, we cannot walk till the end of the 老街. There are also with food stalls, souvenirs shop around, fun fair games (which rarely seen it in KL). You can also saw many owners brings their dogs walking around 淡水老街. Is a good sightseeing place to go in Taipei. Away from the busy city.
There is one thing which you cannot miss is the Buffet Steamboat in Taipei. is just NT399 eat all you can. Or weekend will be slightly expensive and we spent around RM50/pax. There are several Buffet Steamboat but we tried the 亨记麻辣火锅. You can choose 2-3 soups from 5 choices. Soups - 麻辣,骨褒,番茄,鲜菇 and another forget what soup already. But the 番茄 not nice. There are variety of Dessert Ice cream for you too, that's really delicious meal we had in Taipei!! Satisfied!! Another Steamboat we had is near Ann's House (市政府站). The seafood they provide is REALLY FRESH!! Why i said so? Because the prawn and small abalone they give still alive!! You can see the prawn still moving, abalone still alive too. That's my 1st time seeing those alive seafood in steamboat restaurant. But of cause is not ALL YOU CAN EAT!!
We spend 5D4N in Taipei, Walk from day till night that's really cause my leg superb sore. Somemore we slept very late everyday. Those guys sleep around 3am, I sleep around 1am+.
Last day we take 11.45pm flight. Reach home around 5.30am. First time in my life getting home from travel at this time.. damn tired!!

September 4, 2011 at 12:21 AMHi, may I know how was the stay in Ann's House? Which location did you stay? From Ann's House, do you need to change Mrt to XMD? Thanks! BH- Anonymous said...
September 4, 2011 at 12:26 AMOne more question. Is this located in a high rise building? And how's the neighboring environment? I'm thinking of booking with Ann's House but will be traveling with 3 young children, so safety is very important. BH
