TAICHUNG 2017

So I haven't really talked about my trip to TW last year.
but trust me, everytime I'm back in TW it's like a whole new experience.
This time in Taichung, Bae planned the itinerary and brought me to tons of night markets, and a few cafes!

So out of all the cafes I've went to, there are some that I really like the atmosphere and food.


1. 艸水木堂 Cao Shui Mu Tang
Address: No. 364, Minsheng Road, West District, Taichung City, Taiwan 403Hours: 1100-1900hrsPhone: +886 4 2301 9569

Located within the stretch of shop/terrace houses.
Pretty much looking like a normal terrace house with a garden and all.
Took me awhile to actually confirm that this was the cafe.



Was greeted by these animal carousel the moment I stepped in.
Its just a very small shop front that can probably fit about 6pax?
But don't worry, they have the whole garden right outside for you to enjoy.
but sadly I didn't get any pictures of the garden because it was already late evening when I went over



Not exactly a bread person, but I'm telling you,
their lobster sandwich stole my heart.


Just look at it.

Definitely not missing out the photo spots for sure!







So, it's probably a given to have desserts after dinner...
and here comes my favourite Ice cream cafe.

2. 塔拉朵 I'm Talato
Address:No. 451, Yingcai Road, West District, Taichung City, Taiwan 403Hours: 1130-1930hrsPhone: +886 4 2305 8908


Located just by the road side, and very easily recognisable.
BECAUSE THEY HAVE A FREAKING HUGE GELATO SEE-SAW.
I. AM. SOLD.


  
Whats the point of coming to an IC Cafe and not ordering icecream.
And with a glass of Passionfruit fizzzzz. :)
Sorbet was good, so was the fizz.
But my heart was already stolen by the view.

  
If this isn't aesthetics enough, idk what is.
and ofc, here goes all the vainpot shots. :)



 Can I not leave the pool?!
okay, I think I actually did hog the pool a little longer than expected for photos.
But I cant help it!!






3.  飪室 Ren Shi 
Address: No. 168, Gongzheng Road, West District, Taichung City, Taiwan 403Hours: 1100-1500hrs, 1700-2100hrsPhone: +886 4 2301 0857

Located along the streets further down,
is one of my fav curry house.


 ^ Chicken tikka

 ^ Korma Curry (I think)
 ^ Garlic Naan
^ Aloo Fry

This is by far my FAVOURITE indian curry,
the curry is aromatic and slighty sweet, unlike the usual curry we always have in prata shop. however its not like japan curry as well. I can't even describe the taste in words but its just damn good!

And the aloo fry is very well seasoned, crispy in the outside and soft on the inside.

Garlic Naan, nuff said. 

Last but not least, the chicken.
Just perfect. the taste, the smell, and the texture. 
and the the sauce, o m g. 
I need some renshi curry now. :(

very much missing my taichung food trip, can't wait for my next food trip. 
Need good food all day err day!

6D5N @ TAIWAN (2016)

Well, I wanted to do a 6D5N @ TAIWAN (2016) blog itinerary after so long but I realized its gonna be the same stuffs all over again.

So,
I decided to drop in some visuals about my favorite adventure with my crew to Taipei & Taichung instead! Kudos to Edlyn, Christopher & Jaegen!





Took the last train out from RaoHe Night Market back to the room.


Managed to take part in their LGBT event, and snapping a photo with this gorg one.


Made some new friends,



Dropped by this cosy lil cafe called 'The Who Cafe' for a cuppa hot drink while waiting for the rain to stop.

Shifen Jiufen.
But sadly I missed my waterfall by just a few minutes/

//

And then off to Taichung we go.



First up!
The popular container cafe in TC!















Sorry for the spam for the Container series, but I super love it.
Especially the shots with my favourite girl.

If you're heading to Taichung, do feel free to check out this spot.
But its a little tricky to get there. 
We managed to get there because Chris have super duper navigating skills!

Next place, obviously not forgetting 
Gao Mei Shi Di/ Gao Mei Wetlands.








And these are all the visuals I have for the wetlands,
It was beautiful beyond words but the winds were unpredictable,
and definitely hard to walk. 

But if you asked me, I'll still do it again.
PS: Should I upload the videos I had of the trip to Youtube? Let me know alright guys!


Special thanks to Chris & Jaegen for these wonderful photo.
And to Edlyn. Chris and Jaegen for all the beautiful memories.
Till next time,
