Woke up around 10AM ++, set off at around 11AM to have my lunch around XIMENDING again... LOL! This time the weather EVEN colder, no choice so I ate the noodle with soup to kept myself warm... ): The food was not bad, cheap and good! Did ordered some side dishes as well... wooo yummy!
So for DAY3, I went to "Shinjuku Plaza" mall at back alley of Ximending. The mall was really awesome man, tons of clothing for guys/girls and sells alot of nice stuffs like sneakers, shoes, belts, etc etc... Must visit this plaza if you head to Taiwan! (:
I then headed to "WUFENPU" & "RAOHE Night Market" both at "HOUSANPI Station". This place, girls must go to shop because WUFENPU mostly cater their stuffs more on the girls, its like girls 80% and guys 20%? And "Raohe Night Market" is just a street beside WUFENPU, the food there is ridiculously AWESOME! My advices is, if you want to visit all those night market please go with empty stomach or maybe lunch don't eat too heavy if not you can't eat alot at the night market. Which it will be abit wasteful, so yeah got the chance to try the famous "PEPPER BUN".
The stall that I tried was the most famous stall selling pepper bun, the queue is damn freaking long, queued for about 30-40 minutes just for the bun? I bought 2 though, the bun was really delicious, YUMMY! If I did not forgot, each was around NT45 around SGD $2. Then I got tried the "Smelly Tofu", "Oyster Egg" and the "Fried chicken cutlet". All of these are MUST-Try stuffs at Taiwan.
Went back to Ximending as our hotel was around that area, bought "Starbucks coffee Latte" at Ximending and then got my sneaker from "Onitsuka Tiger" & a T-shirt from "Graniph". Shoe at NT 3200 around SGD$127 & T-shirt at NT740 around SGD$33. Oh yaaaa, forgot to mentioned that I bought 1 sunglasses at WUFENPU, cost me NT390 at SGD $17.60. The shoe was at a steal man, Singapore selling this brand at around $169-179 depend on the model... and I got mine at cheaper price, so for Onitsuka Tiger's shoe lover or fan, go Taiwan must get this shoe... (:
Alright, suppose to cut short the story but kept typing more and more... hahaha lol... hmmmm okays, pictures above! And yes, 1 jean bought at XIMENDING too...
