Had good buffet breakfast at hotel before checking out. The variety was widespread and it was tasty. With a full tummy, Went to buy 新生早餐 (recommended by bloggers) near hotel. 峰炸豬排蛋餅 was very yummy。鏝頭燒 so so only.

Hotel shuttle fetched us to BRT bus stop 后火車站。 From here took the free BRT to Jiayi HSR.

1st stop was Red Theatre.

From station to Pretty colourful road - 西寧南路 on the way to 王記府城肉粽


王記府城肉粽 - Thumbs up! Nice!

On the way to Ah Zhong Mian xian

Ah Chong mian xian shop front and the mian xian - a little over rated!


Looks like a walking street but watch out for vehicles and motorbikes!

Desert at 三兄妹 - Ice Red Bean - OK

On the way to Toilet Restaurant

Next, visted Tianmu. It was raining. Bus 220's final stop is not Tianmu - it is now extended beyond Tianmu. Luckily I checked the route before leaving for Taipei. Bought 2 Ralph Lauren polo-T, 1 Nautica polo T and 1 Timberland business shirt for S$95 total. Good buy. However, only 1 shop - Banana Jeans & Co. had these brands. Only took 1 photo of Tianmu

Next, Shilin NM- The chicken chop 豪大大雞排 - cheap and nice at only NT50 and wanton are nice.




Tried the coffin bread -so so





Ai Yu desert

Forgot to try the 大腸包小腸



Competition pretty stiff at Shilin NM. End of Day3
