[081208] post Taipei

back from Taipei, absolutely beautiful weather. The best time to visit Taiwan is during the november - december period when the temperature's around 15 - 18 degrees. Cold yet not too cold, walk around entire day and you'll hardly break a sweat. shiokness to the max especially if you love huddling and wearing a nice thick comfy hoody or sweater.

Visited Ximenting and shilin night market. Kinnda nice to be able to visit these places that i've always seen and read about from the various Taiwanese variety shows but didnt really see anything that i really fancied, the shops are cathered more for gals and mat and me had to wait around as the gals shopped so it was in a way quite boring, next time, i endeavour to roam the streets of taipei by myself and see the sights and sounds of the city.

Food report: didnt get to eat mee sua. I know, a sin in itself having visited taipei and not eat their mee sua but after whacking an all you can eat steamboat buffet, there was hardly enough space for anything else let alone mee sua. tried a bit of the chix cutlet and taiwanese sausages, damn solid much better than anything i can find here. Shall try the mee sua along with the oyster egg omelet on my next visit there and perhaps visit the taipei 101.
