2nd day @ Tainan
The day started sweetly to have Teammate SM specially prepared a bottle of water for us and not forgetting, more thicker jackets!
He drove us to one of his favorite breakfast shop, Dou Jiang Sao.
Yum Yum Yummy! It was another hearty breakfast!
Can I say again… I love Taiwan breakfast!!!
After that, Teammate SM drove to pick Teammate YG who just ended her morning prayer meeting.
Very sweet of her also brought us thicker jacket.
It was also very nice of Teammate SM’s mum who called Teammate SM just to ask about us - where we were and have we eaten already. Very touched by her move.
First stop - Tainan Confucian Temple
We had some “activities” before we walked around the temple and took some photos.
We then went to the Old Street across the road. We had our first try of “salty ice-cream” where we had some "joke" there.
Check out the flavors ... How will you read it?
At the place we had some finger food too - the lady boss very quickly placed some sticks to our plate. Thank God we were fast even to react if not we may ended by eating and paying more. Haha!
We were also brought to two special café which I suppose if we were on our own, we probably wont be able to find/see.
Next stop - National Museum of Taiwan Literature
We had some fun reading/looking through the history.
Was then also on the phone with Teammate YG’s mum. She was happy and excited that we were in Taiwan and kept asking Teammate YG to take good care of us. We also made a deal that the next Taiwan trip, we will visit her in Hualian.
Next - Sogo Shopping Mall
It was their last day of GTS - Great Taiwan Sales.
A super big mall that after much walking, walking, walking and walking… we only managed to conquer HALF of the mall.
Next stop - "Du Xiao Yue"
A must have when you come Tainan.
Nice combination of their noodles and sauce!
Basically there are food everywhere in Tainan, there supposed to be another nice makan place just across the road but we didn't managed to try cause yet to open.
They then brought us to have another famous, winter melon drink.
A person who don't really like winter melon also find it nice, seriously!
Then we dropped by at Chihkan Tower
We just took some photos before we proceed to the next makan place (oops! eat again?!).
Final stop where we had another famous dish and dessert of Tainan.
After that, Teammate SM drove us back to the hotel before he went back home. We rested while waiting for Teammate JL and her boyfriend WC.
Likewise been 4mths since I last see Teammate JL who I also had been in contact with via facebook and whatsapp… we went crazy when we met! The other person who pressed the bell many timessssss to make known her arrival.
The 3 of us had a good catch up - once we started talking, it seem like we cant stop. You see… it been 4mths since we last catch up. Haha!
We then hopped on Teammate JL’s car to conquer Garden Night Market for the 2nd time. We were really “pampered“… everywhere we go, we have car to travel in.
Personally, I’m already very impressed by Teammate SM’s speed in conquering food at night market on the first night.
Was even blown away by Teammate YG and Teammate JL too on the second night. They have fast legs and hands too.
Without any hesitating, once they see it, they buy it and eat it!
Just before you can finish the packet of food on your hands, they already put another packet of food on your hands. Haha!
But I guess that’s the fun of going night market with friends. Is good to go with friends too - just buy small portion and share around, so with that you can buy and try more varieties.
"pictures speak more delicious than words"...
There are more than just food stalls at the night market.
We also went around shopping.
I hereby declare … … we have conquered the ENTIRE night market!
All thanks to Teammate YG who strategized walking in a way that we wont repeat same alley twice.
Straight after, literally straight after our “dinner”… Teammate YG brought us to a place for famous “pig heart soup” and then lastly for almond dessert.
The night ended, really ended with the final dessert, fruit.
