Dazzling Cafe Sunshine @ Xin Guang San Yue


Went to Xin Guang San Yue early in the morning for some yummy desserts at Dazzling Cafe.


But.....we were too earlier and the mall is not open yet.


After some long wait, Dazzling is open @ 11.00am! ...and guest what? We are not the only one waiting in line! 


Chill grape tea with dried rose. 


Strawberry Tea with fresh strawberries. 


Mango crepes with fresh mangoes, mango fillings and mango ice cream. Every bites is just too juicy with so many mangoes in it.


Strawberry Honey Toast fill with fresh strawberries and strawberry ice cream. The toast is really well toasted, even with the ice cream it's still very crunchy.

Dazzling Champagne Dining & Bar


Have a drinking session night with the GF at the famous Dazzling Champagne Dining & Bar.


The place is kinda quiet when we reached as it's still early.




Earl Grey Snow Cup. A really rich earl grey tea cocktail and is a must to try if you ever drop by @ Dazzling Champagne Bar.


Elva. Not really the best cocktail I had as the taste is too light. 


Spicy Sexy. This cocktail really hit the spot. It's a spicy cocktail with a touch of Vodka, Fresh Ginger, Boiron Peach Puree, Sugar Syrup and Sparkling wine.


Guess this club is a famous club in Taipei. Told the GF that we are so coming back here again with some friends to have some crazy drinking session.

Taipei Day 2


Morning Taipei 101 view


Went to grab some breads for our half day tour.


The breads really do look tempting but we already bought some from another not so tempting stall. Dang!


Bread on a stick anyone?


Time for tour! All a board!


Statue of a Buddha @ Shangri-La


Nanya Rock Formation. 


Old gold manufacturing factory that is already closed down due to polluting the sea.


Island that shape like a Dragon head. Use your imagination and you'll be able to see a Dragon head and nose.


Yes, what you are seeing here are tomb stones.


Jinguashih Village. Didn't explore much around here as this is just the way we need to walk to Jiu Fen Street Market.


After a 10 minutes walk, we finally arrived at Jiu Fen Street Market.




Those are actually cartoon candies.


A uncle with a thin pastry skin + roasted grounded peanuts + ice cream...


...equal, Yummy!


This shop have two really good body guards don't they? haha


A glimpse of the back alley of Jiu Fen.


Well we are back in the city and decided to go for more walks and behold! Taipei 101 night view!

Grand Hyatt Hotel, Taipei

Booked a 3 nights stay at Grand Hyatt Hotel a week before we took off for our Taipei Trip.

If you do not have a tight budget for your holiday in Taipei, then I'll strongly recommend you to stay at Grand Hyatt Hotel. This is because it's very convenient and near to places like Xin Guang San Yue (Xinyi),  Taipei City Hall, Eslite Mall, Bellavita Mall etc.

....and it's also next to Taipei 101!



Taipei Day 1



After a long 6 hours flight (including transit) we've finally reached our destination!


The thing that's very strict in Taipei is that you need to bucker up your seat belt once you've step in the taxi or else you are going to get a heavy fine!


A glimp of Taipei 101 on a rainy day. 


Went out for a walk after some rest in the hotel. Well its basically still raining at night so we do not have much to do. However, got some juicy sweet fruits to munch.

Till next time. Cheers guys!
