Day 2:
We went to Taipei zoo~ Cos we wanted to see the pandas and the gorillas~
Managed to see the pandas, Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan, closed-up~ Cant see this in mandai zoo leh~ Or cos have to go catch a glimpse of them no matter what...
Next we proceeded to the Gorilla enclosure~ It was 12noon and the sun was killing. We had to walk 15mins, without shade, before we reached. And the bloody Gorillas were hiding in the 'caves'~~~!!! Wah piang!
There was one awake and saw us but did not bother to get out of his shady caves. And guess what Matt did?? He pounded his chest and the Gorilla actually walked out of his hiding place. It almost felt like he was threatened! haha so the gorilla walked over.. and sat in front of us with his back facing us~
Then Wenqi said: "The Gorilla so rude hor???" hahahahahahahaha~
After Zoo, we went to try their favourite Pork chop & Chicken Drumstick rice~
Not fantastic but the portion was value for money~ (It was a full drumstick but I only remember to take pic of it halfway through eating haha) It was only $4.50 for a whole drumstick~ no way you can get this in Singapore~
After that, we went back to the hotel to rest. While waiting for dinner time, we decided to go to the Aquarium street in Taipei. Well, Matt wanted to go there lah~ So I had to tag along while the rest went shopping in Ximending again.
Our dear friend, Jianhua, bought me 'Tian Zhong Jia' cream puffs cos I did mentioned to him during lunch.
Forgot to take pic of the cream puffs. Haha... Always forget to take pic cos too eager to eat. It at least 3 times the size of normal cream puffs and comes in alot of flavours. He bought 4 and I had them for breakfast everyday! Can't say that they are fantastic but good enough for my liking.
So back to fish... went to a few shops but Matt couldnt find anything of his liking. I saw a shop selling baby sharks! Cool man! But can't bring them back to Singapore...
Next we had 'Kuai Chao' for dinner. Its something like 'Zi Char' in Singapore but they serve in small portions and they all go well with Beer. Doug! You will like this hahaha
As usual, forgot to take pic again.. Only managed to take photos of the empty plates. haha
After dinner, we went for dessert~ No mango ice cos all the mango farms were destryed by the typhoon.. So sad! had yam ice instead.
I'm not a huge fan of yam, but still I did enjoy the dessert. Especially the yam and sweet potato balls~
How can we not ktv in the land of Singers! hahaha... went to partyworld. A huge one~! It was 8 storeys high and all owned by partyworld!!!! Crazy!
All rooms came with en-suite bathrooms. But they had a funny rule whereby kids below 18 were to leave the premises by 11.45pm. Crazy~ So poor wenqi had to be brought back by her parents earlier. While Matt and me continued on with Jianhua and his gf. Wasnt too impressed with the ktv. I still think that our local partyworld are better. In terms of song choices, prices (taipei ktv is super ex~) and the rooms.
