Taipei Eats: Gua Bao, Gongguan  Image
If you are a frequent visitor to night market, you will know a snack called pork belly buns (gua bao). Previously, I mentioned about a famous bubble tea stall in Gongguan (see post). The stall selling yummy gua bao is located just opposite the bubble tea stall. Easy to spot right? =) What is gua bao? It's a Chinese

I think my friend is trying to kill me. By dragging me to gym and asking me to join three group studio classes in a row. Oh my poor muscles...U_U. When it's over (thanks God!), it is of course my turn to drag here to...Starbucks. XD Simply because I want to try the latest summer drink from Starbucks,

Never cross my mind that I'm gonna spend summer holiday by going back to school. What an irony. XD But this school is no ordinary school, after all it's part of Bopiliao Historic Block. A centuries ago, Lao-Song elementary school was designated as land for school use by the Japanese. The Government has preserved the building and now

Did I mention about Monga last time (see here)? We are going to enter one of the building where the movie was shot. It's located near the entrance of the Bopiliao Historical Site. Yup, it's the house with the white sign. Inside the house.  Every gangster's HQ should have a fierce looking painting? Hehehe. Pardon the blurry picture.  All

We are going to re-enact Monga movie, a Taiwanese gangster movie (full detail here) by going to Bopiliao today. Muahahaha. Who's with me? =P In the Bopiliao old district lies Heritage and Culture Education of Taipei. This area has preserved much of its Qing period roots. You can feel the it from the outside I guess. Spotted artistic

When you crave for something, I suppose you just need to go to Yongkang Street. My friend happened to crave for xiao long bao (I know, a bit too ordinary...=P) so we planned to go to the famous Din Tai Fung but..of course there's a long queue in front of the restaurant. Since my friend can collapse anytime

We plan to wait for the sunset but sunset is like still so far away. So we decided to just go to the Lover's Bridge around 4-ish. As we made our way there, we saw a lot of private boats. Walk a bit further and you will see the Lover's Bridge from a distance.  The bridge is called

I am in love. With Tamsui in summer. <3 So this time around, I made my way to Fisherman's Wharf area in Tamsui. Oh boy, I was welcomed by the heart sign. =P Just behind the sign, you'll see a tower which is called Lover's Tower. If you are thinking of riding the tower, I suggested you to

The hot humid weather is upon us once again. Not sure whether I like it but it is sure the best season to drink bubble tea everyday. Muahahaha. Other than bubble tea, summer means the appearance of cold noodle. Something that I don't really see in 7-11 in Singapore or Jakarta. But here, in Taiwan, cold noodles are

Good Morning from Pamukkale Natural Park, Turkey Image
The next morning, we drove off pretty early from our hotel. I was still half awake but still have the willpower to snap a picture of the morning road. =P Pretty much the road in between cities in Turkey. But our tour guide promised to bring us somewhere nice for picture taking. Can't wait. #vaintourgroup The bus drove

After our trip in Ephesus (see post), we were literally chasing sunset because we reached Pamukkale (re: Cotton Castle) kinda late. But thanks goodness the sun has not really disappeared yet. The entrance gate to the ancient city of Hierapolis is...unguarded (probably it's because it's already near the closing time). If we arrived a bit later, we will
