台北三

3rd day in Taipei!

Breakfast at smith&hsu

Everything seems walking distance when you're using google maps, but sometimes places are not as near as you thought they were going to be.

But smith&hsu was worth the walk.

Just as we get shown to a seat, they present us with a large tray of bottled tea leaves.

They gave us a sample of No.85 Cherry with Assorted Fruits.

Not a huge fan of tea, but the tea that they served dances with my tastebuds.

Joy and I decided to try Black Chocolate Mint Tea

And my parents made an excellent choice of Fruit Tea.

Their trains are pretty clean and quiet, they have signs to remind people to be considerate about their own noise level which I think we desperately need in Singapore. It makes everybody's journey so much more enjoyable and tolerable.

Off to the Su Ho Paper Museum, which I felt was a little disappointing.

It's amazing how my iPhone pictures are clearer than my 5D's

Photography's not allowed except on the 4th level, which is the rooftop and it also meant OOTD shots.

Looks like somebody drew a road in the sky
Walked around Sogo till late and initial plans were to head to Shilin Night Market.
But walking for more than 12 hrs in a day, didn't think we could muster enough energy to enjoy the night market, so we headed back to Xi Men Ding.

Searched high and low for Ah Zhong Mee Sua.

Three buckets of chilli, garlic and vinegar for self service and everybody would enjoy their bowl of mee sua together right in front of the stall.
