Day 2 28/12/2012 (五)

是日我們的行程是：西門町 ---> Check in ---> 誠品信義店 ---> 饒河街夜市
Since we had to move to another hotel, our iternary of the day was:
Ximending ---> Check in ---> Eslite ---> Raohe St. Night Market


旅館所提供的早餐。
很多選擇啊﹗我最喜歡那個冷麵﹗配以醬汁及辣醬，可以吃上兩大碗﹗
另外，我亦盡量多吃椰菜，因為我覺得台北的食物比較油膩及以肉為主。
The breakfast provided by Go Sleep Hotel.
These was a wide array of food and I personally felt that the noodles was the best among all!
And I tried to eat as many vegetables as possible because it seemed to me that most of the dishes in Taiwan do not have vegetables.

哈哈，原來西門有許多著名的地方可以逛﹗
拿著旅館提供的地圖，我們就可以按圖索驥﹗
首先我們去到黑橋牌，買了一包辣肉乾，一包果汁牛肉乾﹗
那個辣肉乾味道好到不得了﹗
(昨天逛工展會時有看到黑橋牌擺檔，價錢當然較昂貴：HKD$190 兩包)
所以到台灣玩記得要多買辣肉乾，嘻嘻﹗
I was so thrilled to know that there were many tourist spots in Ximending!
(We got a free map in the hotel!)
To begin our day, we went to Black Bridge and selected some jerkies (NT$150 for each).
I found the spicy pork jerky really really really tasty!!!
(I went to the Hong Kong Brands and Products Expo today and saw this brand but two packs of them cost HKD$190)
So I would suggest you buying them in bulk in Taipei :P

待時間差不多，我們回到西門紅樓。
由於它的開放時間是十一時，所以我們只好在外面拍照。
Then we went back to Ximen Red House.
It was not open yet so we just took photos outside.
(It opens at 11 in the morning.)

後來我們到了世運麵包店，只因地圖上有顯示它的位置 -w-
抱著不要吃虧的宗旨，當然要去看看囉～
友善的店員給我們試了店有名的鳳梨酥，可我覺得還是義美的好吃，
所以我最後只買了兩個太陽餅 (一個NT$25)，
而姑姑則嚐了味道像煎釀三寶的牛蒡。
想獲得更多資料，可到世運的官網看看：

No photos were taken when we were searching for I Mei...
We went to Olympia, which was a bakery and we stayed there for quite a while to see if its pineapple cake was good
(because inside the shop there's many advertisements saying that their cake is No.1)
Since I only wanted the one sold by Imei, I just bought 2 suncakes (which contain maltose inside) (NT$25 per one)
Aunt also bought a snack which tasted okay.
For more information, you can have a look in the bakery's website:http://www.cake-shop.com.tw/index.php

其實我們還花了滿長時間找義美 T___T
到達前，還走到福利社買了一些零食……(不是重點)Okay so we spent a great deal of time to search for I Mei T___T
Before we reached there, we saw a supermarket and bought some snacks...(not important)

最後～～～！！！找到義美而且買到鳳梨酥。:)
(沒有照片啦，因為忙著研究店內不同產品)
好啦，不費時間介紹這店，有興趣就點以下網址吧：
http://www.imeifoods.com.tw/
Finally we found I Mei and I bought pineapple cakes there :)
(I was so busy paying attention to the products)
Not gonna promote the shop but again, information is available here:http://www.imeifoods.com.tw/

然後我們到阿宗麵線。
不知怎的，總是自然地把這店跟台灣主持吳宗憲連在一起。 orz
嘻嘻，推介一下～很便宜呢～NT$45一碗(小)客人也很多﹗
注意，不設雅座，所以要站著吃啊﹗
吃起來跟八方雲集沒兩樣。 :p (小孩沒水準就不要亂評啊……)
Afterwards, we went to this famous shop.
I don't know why but I always link this shop with the famous host Wu Zhong Xian, haha.
The price is cheap: NT$45 for each bowl but to me, it just tastes like the ones in 8ways :P

哇哈哈，我姑姑覺得牛店超讚﹗
小孩也要附和一下這真是很棒的一間店，感覺十分良好﹗
我超喜歡它的menu是以牛皮製的～(怎麼聽起來感覺有點殘忍)

haha my aunt strongly recommends this shop!
And I do agree that it is a good restaurant! Seriouly it's worth a try :)
It is called Niudian and is located in Ximendian as well. (It opens at 11:30 in the morning)

Alright I didn't try this but according to the travel guide, Moses Chan visited here as well!
I peeked in and saw that there were quite many people;
equipment are also available in the shop.

Okay time to return to the Red House before we set off.
Actually I was really interested in the market which sold the DIY stuff but then, it opened at 2 :(
To cheer myself up, I chopped many stamps on my paper :)))
Suck kind of stamps is also available in many different tourist spots! Don't miss it! :D


這個酒店，就是網友覺得貨不對辦的酒店﹗
其實嚴格來說它不是一間酒店，它是一間處於一個工廠大廈的單位內的房間。(﹗)
而且比較難找，因為萬象大廈(就是它所處的大廈)的水牌是完全沒有易訂者的存在的﹗(﹗)
不過呢，負責人笑容好好啊，而且房間麻雀雖小，五臟俱全，基本上就是一個家啊﹗Time to introduce the second hotel to you all.
eZ Bookers is located at Fu Xing North Road.
But it's really difficult to locate the building!
What's more, it's more like a industrial building than a hotel.
Luckily, the person-in-charge was nice and the room was pretty good.
Basically everything was provided except slippers and tea bags. Breakfast was not included.

甜地瓜味道超好﹗而且不會吃滯﹗Well since we were too tired, we took a rest for quite a while and finally left the hotel at around 4.
Wow, an old man was selling the sweet potatoes on the street!!! (NT$50 for a box)
I found it extremely tempting and so I walked towards the stall...
A girl was standing next to the stall and talked to us (See? Taiwanese are so good .v.)
and the old man let us have a taste of the potatoes.
Nom nom!!! The portion is big and it tastes really good :)))

Signs in MRT stations are usually very clear so you definitely won't find it difficult to look for a place.
We soon reached Eslite the flagship store.
My target was to find a shampoo for mum (as she requested) and have a look at the sea of books haha.
But before I achieved my goal, a saleswoman from Coni stopped us.
Later I searched online and found that its exfoliating gel was recommended.
The saleswoman also claimed that as they did not advertise, their products were cheaper.

薑心比心 Ginger 800星雲法師開示說：『薑』這個字，是由兩個田組成，意思是指每個人心中都有兩畝田，一畝田是自己的內心，另一畝田是自己的身體，先照顧好自己身心的兩畝田後，就有更好的能量去發揮自己的能力。
薑中有二田，讓朱嘉琳看到祖先創字結構的智慧，因而開發「兩畝田」，以愛護地球 善待自己 薑心比心 的品牌。
So I went to the "stationery" floor and was tempted by all the products there. SPEECHLESS.
You should go and have a look...that was really awesome! (but of course everything comes with a HIGH price there)
I struggle for a long time and finally purchased a notebook which costed NT$315.
Wish that it can motivate me and I will study harder in the coming semester :D


「如果你有幸在年輕時住過巴黎,它會一生跟著你,有如一場可以帶得走的盛宴。 」
I also bought Ernest Hemingway's A Moveable Feast.
"If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast"/

我在台北最喜歡的店：Ｄ
My favourite shop in Taipei :DDDD

饒河街觀光夜市
有點遠啊　我們是在捷運站下車再乖的士的
不過大家亦可選擇到松山火車站下站　再步行至夜市
At night we went to Raohe St. Night Market.
It's a bit far away...you can either take the MRT and taxi to reach there or take the train and walk to there.

立即看到著名的胡椒餅
熱乎乎的　很脆　可試一下啊
Immediately you can see the famous pepper cake!
It's crispy and hot. Good good :D (NT$45)

有點油　不過味道很不錯
大概是腸衣包著雞肉在烤～
有不同的味道選擇　我挑了椒鹽（辣）
Nom Nom...quite oily though.
Actually it's the sausage skin wrapping chicken?! (NT$35).
Many food stalls sell this but this stall has the most people queuing!

這個剉冰好味道﹗比昨天的芒果牛奶冰好﹗
可以任選五款配料　因為我不好紅豆綠豆
所以挑了愛玉　青蘋果蒟蒻　芋圓　之後忘了:p
DELICIOUS!
Ice in brown sugar sauce (pick any 5 ingredients you like) (NT$50)
C'est très bon!!!!!!!!!!!!!

吃完甜品要回家了～
這個捷運站好美:)
Time to go back where we lived after finishing the dessert~

***對了，有一個好大的遺憾﹗
我沒有飲到墾丁蛋蛋，嗚嗚﹗
聽起來好可愛的店名啊，還有黑糖粉圓……
下次長征台灣一定要飲一飲 :3

***這篇遊記我是先打英文再打中文的。
好明顯我段打中文時打得樂了，
所說的完全不符英文所說的。 :3

***打blog不同打日記，
每天都會好緊張的想到：噢，要打blog耶﹗
接著想：反正沒有人看到啦，慢一點沒關係。
最後以海明威的話作提醒：!$%^%$#%^&*$%!
(嘻嘻，有機會把原文放上來)
