I know right, it was long time ago but it is up now :)
Our hostel of the trip. Highly recommended. 台北猪窝 is located somewhere around Taipei Main Station (台北车站), a very convenient place where you can take MRT easily, and also bus to Tao Yuan Airport. After we settled everything, it was already 7pm. So we decided to go Shilin night market to have some TAIWAN FOOD.
I don't know why, Shilin falls below my expectation. I only managed to get a pair of flat and an elmo pluggy. Food was so so only.
DAY 2
鲁肉饭 + 蛤蜊汤 for breakfast. Just a random stall nearby our hostel.
Then we off to 西门町. Must try 阿宗面线, very famous mee suah in Xi Men Ding. There is no table in the shop. Again, we can't get any nice clothes there, double disappointed! But Xi Men Ding is really huge, give yourself roughly 3 hours to shop. We planned to go Mr J's Kitchen (Jay Chou's Restaurant), and we were having hard time to search for that as everyone we asked have no idea where is it. We end up went to Shi Da night market 师大夜市
师大夜市 - I personally think that it has wider range of stuffs.
Not to forget top up your 优游卡. A touch&go-like card that allows you to purchase stuffs in 7-11 and get 20% discount for MRT ticket.
DAY 3
台铁便当 as breakfast. We get it from the MRT station, just a 5 minutes walking distance from our hostel. It is a very common breakfast for Taiwanese as they can have breakfast before go to work/school.
Next station -国父纪念馆. Erm, we decided to go there because our itinerary is full of shopping places. We feel that we should have visit some historical places.
Off to 五分埔商圈. FYI, Wu Fen Pu is closed on Monday for wholesale purchases. So you know when should you go.
We took MRT to Taipei 101 station and store our stuffs in the computerize locker.
We had our dinner at 台北101 and enjoyed the night view of Taipei 101.
DAY 4:
We rented 2 cars to go to 野柳, 九份, 十分, and 基隆 as it is quite hard to reach there by public transport. The driver is very nice. If you are interested in these places, you can call

We get most of our sport shoes from Kee Long night market (基隆夜市).
And these are our 战利品. 6 of us! 50% of these come from Kee Long night market.
DAY 5:
Free activity: We were back to Xi Men Ding again. Everyone are given second chance to grab their regret-din-buy stuff. hahaha!
Dinner at 争鲜- Sushi bar. NTW30 for all plates!
Went to 公馆 to try out the famous 青蛙撞奶, pearls are really sweet.
DAY 6:
淡水鱼仁码头
淡水老街: tried 阿给 and bought some 铁蛋.
Some may prefer 阿婆铁蛋 but I prefer others. 阿婆铁蛋 is too hard for me.
Dinner at Dazzling Cafe. I feel it is overrated and not worth for money. Everyone MUST order a drinks and their drinks is not cheap at all. Environment ok, but I dont think their food and staffs are nice.
Famous honey toast. I cant recall the name of this toast.
DAY 7:
Hello Kitty check in counter. We were not taking this flight :(
Bye
