Day 1 Taiwan Trip (Feb/ Mar 2015) - Singapore | Taipei Airport | Taichung

Sorry that this update is taking so long to post up. The initial plan is... to do up blog post after I complete the scrapbook which I came across at the book store in Taiwan. I am not a scrapbook person but the book just fits. And ta-dah, my plan to do the scrapbook for Taiwan! But what I had not expected is that I actually took around 6 months to complete the scrapbook! Shocking I know. Not that it was hard or challenging or anything. It's just my lazinness and procrastination that got the better of me. Hence that explains why it was finally being done up only in Sept:P

See~ The Book I got from Taiwan. It's just nice to do up a scrapbook for my Virgin Taiwan Trip right? hahaha. 

But wells~ it's finally done. So next up, the blog posts for my virgin trip to Taiwan in 2015~
First trip to Taiwan with my friend as the tour guide since she went there before. It's also our first ever trip together overseas. heehee. Still remembering how excited we are and we did quite some research beforehand and after much cancelling out of plans due to our packed schedule, we managed to confirm on the plans (though it is still rather packed. But we can always skip some if really time do not permits). If there's time for everything, that's a bonus for us. So here we go~

Mandatory shot with our luggages:P

On the day of departure, we are supposed to reach Taipei at 6.21pm and thereafter we will catch the 8.21pm HSR heading for Taichung. But then I guess things don't usually go the way we wanted/ planned. There was a delay in the take-off timing since there was some problems with the plane. The plane was at the takeoff runway when suddenly it announced that due to some problems, they have to turn back to the boarding area to carry out repair works. Part of us felt sian at the delay of timing as this means we will reach Taiwan at a later time. But part of us felt that it was a good thing that they found out the problem before flying off. What would have happen if they realize the problem only after taking off? Can't really imagine. And I think I don't want to continue imagining.

So ended up, we missed our HSR timing and we have to top up additional amount to change the timing to a later time. In the end, we only managed to reach Taichung at our hotel, Le Parker Hotel at 11pm. The hotel is located within Taichung Fong Jia Business Circle, and is situated close to FengJia Night Market.

Address: 407, Taiwan, Taichung City, Xitun District,至善路234巷16號

Didn't managed to shop much since by the time we checked in and all, Fengjia Night Market is already mostly closed. We only managed to have the 大肠包小肠 - Taiwanese glutinous rice sausage which is split and served with Pork sausage with other fillings like vegetables. Not too bad though. But I would prefer Taiwan Sausage anytime for this:P

This stall is rather easy to spot since it's located at the entrance of FengJia Night Market:)

The other thing we managed to buy is... Papaya Milkshake!

Super nice! It's very thick and not at all diluted! I have not come across any others that tasted so rich before in Singapore! This is highly recommended! Drink of Awesomeness~  They are famous for their Papaya Milkshake. But they do offer other types too! Have a try at the others if you are not a fan of Papaya. Think they are not bad too since others are also ordering those.

So that's about all for Day 1 since we arrived late :( Lucky our hotel is located near to FengJia Night Market. At least we still got 2 food items from there. Better than nothing.
