Taipei Babymoon Day 3: Danshui + Shilin Night Market

Day 3: We started our day late. We were simply too tired and the bed, I duno was it Sealy brand or what like machiam got gongtao and makes you wanna sleep and sleep.
 
Plan for today is to eat Ding Tai Fung for lunch then train to Danshui.
 
 
Xiaolongbaos @ Ding Tai Fung, Zhongxiao Fuxing Sogo branch.
 
 
GW's first time eating at Ding Tai Fung.
He was abit disappointed and found the dumplings kinda overrated.
 
We then trained 18 stops from Taipei main station to Danshui MRT, around 40minutes train ride.
Exit from MRT, turn right and walk 5 minutes to the Bus terminal and catch a bus R26 to 漁人碼頭 (Fisherman Wharf). Today's weather is also siao one at 35 degrees.
 

The place is famous to view the most beautiful sunset and we were quite stupid to be there so early at 4pm to burn ourselves alive.
 

 
 

The view from the bridge.
 

Along the jetty.
 

Walked to the bridge, but can't take much pictures since most of them will look like this.
 

Fellow roasting khakis spotted.
 

Hide indoors for more Mango ice!
 

Decided to give up waiting for the sunset, take a HELLO I'M AT DANSHUI! photo and left.
Buay tahan the weather man, and my body niam niam one. We took the R26 bus back to Danshui MRT, and along the way we saw the sardine packed buses heading towards Fisherman wharf.
 Ok, maybe that's the right timing to go ~ around 6pm.
 
 

We went to Shilin Night market again because the Jiantan MRT station is on the way our train journey back, and we thought we could take a break from the crazy 18 stops. The shopping at Shilin is better, we ate and tabao some food back too since we were too full eat anymore. GW enjoying his tabao-ed duck heart and chicken gizzards from his favourite 滷味 store at the comfort of our hotel room.
 

At Ximending chomping ice mango again.

Ah Zong Mian Xian.
 

Wah really very nice leh the rice flour noodles.
 

The always long queue - 豪大大鸡排 at XMD.
The chicken is nicer (like juicier and more tender) and cheaper than in Singapore too.
Pardon my stupid expression, the chicken was piping hot you know.
 

The cool thing about our hotel was this photobooth area at the Basement.
They set up the place like super old school and have props available for you to camwhore with.
 

GW pointing to the Stinky Tofu sign.
He's super ANTI-臭豆腐 until to the extend he will want to go back to the hotel and shower and change into fresh clothings whenever he walks pass a 臭豆腐 store.
He kept saying he could smell it on himself.
 

Scooters everywhere in Taipei., both on the roads and the pavements.
