6th Day in Taiwan (25/12/07)

Suhua Highway National Road/Chiufen/Taipei Ximenting & Shihlin Night Market

Once again we travel on Suhua Highway but this time not so fun liao, cos the driver is speeding...we were so near the edge of the ravine...very scary. I think I had Claustrophobia, can't wait to get out of the bus and hoping the end the winding road journey.
So stop in 1 small town called Su Ao for lunch and bought some local snacks. I tried 1 special snack - ice cream wrap in popiah skin with grind peanuts and coriander leaves.
Chiufen - a place where you see old fashioned way of life that still exist. It's like an ancient city selling a lot of local goodies and snacks. Most of us bought from the shop called Ah Xin, as recommended by our tour guide.
After that we went to some Feng Shui centre where quite a few of my colleagues bought their lucky charm ornament.
Dinner was good, we ate at this unique restaurant call the Five Cents Driftwood House Restaurant. The interior design is very nice and unique. Food also not too bad. If you are in Taipei do check it out. They also have branches in Taichung and Tainan.
After dinner we checked in to a 5 stars hotel, Brothers Hotel. Not too bad.
Ximenting - Were told that it's like Orchard Road of Singapore with many shopping, but didn't manage to get anything there.
Shihlin Night Market - Went there mostly for food, and I manage to eat the famous Ah Zhong Mee Sua. Bought a pair of sandal and some toys for RJ there.
