March 2020 Taiwan Trip - Day 6 (Shifen, Taipei Main Station)

Trying this Xiao Long Bao stall at the roadside before taking the train to Shifen. 

Initially I actually booked the Klook Jiufen Shuttle Bus that consists of transport to Jiufen, Shifen Waterfall, Shifen Old Street. And the pickup/dropoff is at Ximen Station which is near our hotel so it's more convenient than having to travel via public transport. But too bad, just before our trip, we received a notification from Klook that the local operator has informed that the activity is not available due to the covid situation. That's why we had to take the train instead.


And here we are, arriving at Shifen station~ 


And look at what caught JS's eyes haha. 



Random wall drawings that we came across

So basically this place is famous for releasing sky lanterns, and they have various stalls offering this. I do not really know which stall is better and the pricing seems to be about the same. So we just choose a random stall and started writing our wishes with the calligraphy paint brush and then the person will help us to release our sky lanterns and even helped to take picture for us. 

Our sky lantern flying up!

After releasing our sky lantern, we then make our way to the Shifen Waterfall by foot. 



Surprisingly shiok

And got Yakult Smoothie to quench our thirst.






And then I saw popiah ice-cream! Another of my favourite! 
At first JS was like he don't want. But I told him that it's very nice, won't regret. And he decided to try also and he like it too. hahaah. 


And then we went back to Taipei Main Station and explore the Taipei Underground Shopping Mall. 

And finally back at Ximending

Bringing JS to try the Ay-Chung Flour-Rice Noodle. If you are there to try, try adding a little bit of their chilli. I feel it taste better with some chilli. Of course don't add too much if you can't take the spiciness. The chilli is spicy! 



Enjoying our food back at the hotel, watching Taiwan variety show.
