Taiwan Day1 | ShiDa Night Market 师大夜市 | NTNU 师范大学 | 7-11

Hi! Expired greetings from Taiwan! hahaha! Finally I'm able to spare some time to go through the photos and here comes the Day1 in Taiwan! 

China Airlines from Singapore to Taipei :)

watching 'In Time' to kill the flight boredom. Justin Timberlake acc me throughout! LOL!

in-flight meal is not bad. Love this yummy puff!

after 4hours plus flight, we finally landed Taipei TaoYuan International Airport. Mehhh, it's under renovation so it didn't give a good impression to me. Weather that time was colder than Genting, like 13-15 degree Celsius. and was very much colder at night. Geez you can keep me inside an oven but never a refri. However, by the time I came back to Malaysia, I was not used to our tropical climate. = =

Since the homestay we settled down for 4 days in Taipei is around ShiDa Road and Luo-Si-Fu Road.

We then settled our dinner at ShiDa Night Market!!! 

古早云吞面
very different with those wantanmee we could find in Malaysia. The wantan tasted slightly more juicy and the hand-made noodle is very springy and chewy. 

牛肉面
I didn't try this. Judging it by your ownXD

沙茶酱面
couldn't find this taste in Malaysia! Kinda special to me, and yummy!

牛肚牛杂汤面
I'm sorry for the chinese caption, seriously I dunno how to translate the food name into english. LOL! But I can assure you this Taiwanese beef noodle is super nice! Even though I don't eat beef, but I love the soup so much, especially drinking it during the winter time..... :))

after the dinner, it's time for shopping spreeeeeeeeeeeee. ShiDa night market has a lot of university students because it's near to 师范大学 as well as 台大. Max envy Taiwanese!! A lot of cheap clothes and accessories available, many yummy street-food, not-bad-looking guys and girls are everywhere, no lala (like M'sia *cough*) at all!! ughhh!! Why are the skinny girls all wearing makeup and clothes like those models in mag?? feeling even more fed up to myself LOL!

we have a relative who has been staying in Taiwan for more than 20years. She's a professor of 师大(师范大学)and is in charged of physical education. and I had that opportunity to visit their institution!!

super love their basketball court! I didn't take even a single photo inside of this institution simply because I was busy looking at the lengchai(sssssssss)!! Hahaha! you know, BASKETBALL players!! I met a lot of handsome guys there, like the total 1 year amount I met in M'sia. Seriously!!

Their facilities are nice and completed! The campus is huge, and I'm in love with all the bricks wall buildings!

What's up for supper time??!!

a must-eat in ShiDa night market! You have to be really patient because the queue will always be 'that' long!!

the very famous 生煎包!MUST try!!

mehhhhh 红豆饼
not nice not nice!!


I dunno what's this called. 水煎饺?You could find many kinds of dumplings in Taiwan. It's like roti canai in Malaysia, basically everywhere, with so many different flavors.

Super yummmms dessert! U Dessert, Taroyami all lose to this authentic old dessert shop! Look at that pretty girlXD

while anticipating for my order.... :)



omg i miss this a lot!!! 烧仙草


永丰盛手工包子馒头
can you see the queue?

 a lot of flavors!! 

fresh steamed bun :) 
Although it doesn't have the content, but the bun is soft and flavorful. I personally recommend the Swiss chocolate bun. 

Yu's almond tofu.
if  you don't scare of the strong almond flavor, and you're actually an almond lover, this is a pretty decent and special dessert. It's worth a try!

these are what I actually ate the most throughout the ten days in Taiwan!! I just dunno why ALL the fruits in Taiwan taste so damn fresh and sweet!! Especially the fat strawberries and pink guava. *drooooooling*


found this somewhere in ShiDa night market. The whole shop is occupied with Rilakkuma(ssss). Whoever love this cartoon, you better keep your wallet tied, else you'd really spend A LOT of money here!

People in Taiwan used to ride bicycle or motorcycle. You can easily spot them on the road.

or parked alongside a curb.

here's the end of ShiDa Night Market. 


Bonus of this post::


I heart this corner very much!! All the drinks are packaged into very colorful and attractive designed carton and bottle! :)))))

I think I spent about 30mins in 7-11 for the first visit in Taiwan!! Everything is so cool to me and I'd compare to our lousy 7-11 in M'sia. I couldn't help, I really love 7-11 in Taiwan!!! Definitely a must-go!! Even the instant noodles tasted very much delish!!

I went to the nearest 7-11 from my homestay (it's like 1min walking distance) almost every night and I met that lengchai worker every night as well I supposed he's on the night shift. no love story or whatnot because I just wanna point out that I like his voice “欢迎光临” ('welcome' in English) so much!! Every worker in services sector in Taiwan are so damn polite and nice and friendly!! That's really impressive! unlike M'sia.



For those travelers who want to go to ShiDa Night Market, you can take the MRT-XinDian Line, stop at Taipower Building Station, and head toward exit 3.
