Beitou Grand View Resort Hotspring + Shilin Night Market

One of the best choices we made in Taiwan was to go to
Beitou Grand View Resort Hot Spring
This 5 star hotel/resort is quite out of the way so you might wana go to the nearest train station Beitou MRT Station and take the complimentary shuttle service/ short cab ride up. 

We were hoping to find a private open air hot spring but none were available around the area. They're basically showing us standard hotel toilets with tiny bathtubs for 2.


Which is why we decided to pay abit more, 4000NT (approx.S$200) for a good 2hours private room.


Cozy Recreation Area 


Each private room consist of a resting area, hot spring, bathroom and shower area. 

Introducing the spacious hot spring =)


Separated my a huge sliding door, this is the resting area that comes with plasma tv, drinks and magazine. Very clean area where u can watch funny & extremely 'ba gua' taiwan news and fall aslp just anywhere u want.


Behind the TV console there's this changing/ chatting area (whatever u wana do there) with a mini fridge. 



It also comes with 2 simple wardrobes to hang out our stinky and sweat stained clothes to dry hehe




Very excited to tryout my first hot spring 
(all cladded with our swimwears)


Looks very comfy for 4 huh! 


The boys insist that we showcase abit of their muscles


We were also given homemade yogurt, but erm...it's extremely sour!




We all agree that this hotel is totally worth its 5 star rating! *double thumbs up!


Not the best place to stay if u'll be travelling out all e time, but definitely a great place if u just want to have a pampering trip for yourself + ur family. Oh, actually families of 4 would be cabbing around alot, then maybe Beitou Grand View Resort can be a good choice for them. hmm..

Main Lobby



Right after our pampering session, we've regained most of our energy for
  Shilin Night Market!

YESSS, the famous XXL Chicken! XXL indeed!





Then we went to the new underground Shilin night market
Fully air-conditioned, i'm loving it especially after being out in the 37 degree C.



I miss this sooooooo much: Da chang Bao Xiao chang 大腸包小腸 



Oyster Omelette, think we all prefer the Singapore version better


Surprisingly fragrant dish: Guan Cai Ban 棺材板


Not forgetting the famous Smelly Tofu 臭豆腐 

I swear SG's smelly tofu is literally shit as compared to TW's.
Quite thankful I gave these tofu another chance in Taiwan!


My buddy aint lovin' it still...


LOL!!
