its day 21 of taiwan... i have been lazy updating the blog...
well...
i been back to qing tian gang, that grassy hill i came to 2 years ago. it is still a beautiful place, with a sulphur geyser for company nearby. also headed to danshui, one of the northern places on the taiwanese metro. it is near the sea and has a very nice quaint feel to it. also, at taipei main station, there are catacombs of underground shopping malls. and i do mean the word catacombs. literally tunnels of shops selling different kinds of items; it is so easy to get lost here. visited jiu fen, a mountainous area that used to be a gold mine. the view at the top is breathtaking and with taiwan getting cloudy weather, at that height, clouds fog one's vision.
one of the main highlights is that i visited the original din tai feng in taipei. it is voted one of the best restaurants in the world. they have 5 branches in singapore, but nothing beats visiting the original branch. of course, i ate the xiao long bao. i mean how do the chefs manage to keep soup stock in the dumpling without it spilling out? also, they have great dessert baos. the taro dumplings...mmm....
