Taiwan: JiuFen

Here's my favourite part of the trip!

We were on our way to Jiu Fen!!

Remember to try the 'Bian Dang' (Bento) at Rui Fang train station!
It's a generous portion of great home cook dishes!

furthermore it's only 60NT!

Lil' boy waiting for the bus up to JF with us, 

he's not loving the weather as well.

Recommended by CM, 'Peanut n Ice cream Wrap'

Peanuts was really fragrant, but it's a pity the ice cream ruined it. (Cheap tasting)

If he had used haagen dazs worthy kind of ice cream this dessert would have tasted heavenly! =( 

This is FY's and my favourite dish of the trip. 

Super Q squid in salty and peppery seasoning. 

Yum-more-please!! ='(

Another recommendation from friends,

Similar to our ice kachang

'Make chewy desserts!' seemed to be taiwan's policy.

I hate ice kachang but this is actually good!

Taiwan is known for celebrity spotting, but we got luckier!

GUESS WHOOOO?!?

screams: HOLLYWOOD!

hehe...

We found a costume playhouse for only 25NT!!

(S$1, whut??)

double storey, 3 long racks of costumes + unlimited photo-taking on your phone/cam. 

Ernie boy isnt keen about dressing up so i dumped whatever i can on him to get at least 1 photo.

Wah Wah.. Professional at work...

Capturing modelll from 1860s, lol

Nutcase wouldn't stop blowing his flute.

Last but not least, i'll like to tell everyone i'm a potential housewife, in future.

How coincidental that tt wore my kungfu shoes tt day, lol.

Enough of the costume house photos, i lost my iphone there but the friendly and honest staff called up sara, FY, Ernie..basically everyone on my recent call list. They refused to take a tip from me. Said "ze shi wo men de ze ren" (It's our responsibility!) OMG more love for taiwanese!! 

More exploring in Jie Fen, old-school candy shop

There's lots of teahouse featuring the view of the mountains, so we randomly picked one to rest our feet.

Happy to find shelter from the 37.8degrees sun, what the hell.

Once again, if only it's winter season, perfect.

View from where we are seated

Ernie the camera shy boy.

Fy obviously posing for cam.

We had fishballs at this stall that's totally covered with their owner's photo. They also have 10 healthy puppies moving around in the stall. So cuteee!!
