Taipei Eats: We Love Cookies, Gongguan

After hearing about yummy cookies shop at Gongguan from a friend who was studying at National Taiwan University (NTU), I (like usual) crave for cookies. How to get slim???

Heck, it's not everyday you can eat cookies, so let's just go for it. Hahaha. I know I was close when I smell fresh-from-the-oven cookies. Yum~~~

More cookies!! <3

Dark Chocolate Cookie at We Love Cookies Gongguan Taiwan

You know sometimes you see something good but you are not so sure of whether they will really taste that good (you got what I mean?). This will not be a problem here because you can ask for a sample. Oh my gawd, why is Taipei very cool? I SELDOM see this happening in Singapore or Indonesia. I should just stay in Taipei forever...to eat.

Okay, snapped back from my cookie orgasm.

Other than cookies, the shop also sells cupcake.

I decided to buy red velvet cupcake and three kind of cookies i.e. double chocolate, peanut and chocolate. I really hope the walking distance from my place to this shop can help me burn the calorie from these goodies. Hahahah.

Right...so how to find the place? To tell you the truth, the easiest way is to rely on your Google map.

Let's eat mangoes!

I love mango season in Taiwan (which is usually in summer). Why? Because Taiwanese mangoes are really delicious. 非常好吃!! (Fēicháng hào chī!)

Another thing, don't they look bigger than usual mangoes?

If you don't feel like cutting the fruit itself, good news for you, you can find a lot of mangoes product all over Taiwan. Like mango ice cream for a start (which I bought from 7-11 so it's not expensive at all).

Or mango tart? I did not see this item when I came to Taiwan in winter so I think this item must be seasonal! Go get one from IJ Ysheng Bread Store (which are located all across Taipei, you will recognize it's purple signage).

And the yummiest of all especially when eaten on a hot summer day is of course, the ice mango (芒果冰/ mángguǒ bīng). This one I ate at Ximending.

If you happen to be visiting Taiwan in summer, go eat the mangoes! Nom nom nom! =)

Taiwan Travel: A summer day at Shifen

We are back to Shifen! Simply because it's such a waste to spend a summer day doing nothing at home (although I am a huge fan of taking a nap). =P

So yeah, Shifen, 我回来了! (Wǒ huíláile/ I am back!)

We are going to see the waterfall because my friend has not seen it before. Along the way we saw the railway and a lot of people are taking picture with it (including my friend). Hehe.

If you are wondering if you are able to see the waterfall from on board the train, well no, you can't. So the only way to see the waterfall is by purchasing the entry ticket for access to the waterfall. The waterfall in summer...is kinda dry though.

How do I know? Well, it kinda looks different from the picture on the ticket for a start.

It's still pretty though albeit hot. Very hot. The sun is burning.

On the way back, we bought a pouch where we can hang our keys inside. Ironically, we have not used it until today. Hahaha. They look so cute though. The seller claimed that she has sewn them by her own hands. Handmade. MIT (made in Taiwan). =P

For my previous posts on Shifen, you can go to this shifen1, shifen2 and shifen3. Shifen is really a fun place. You should go! =)
