Taiwan trip! Day 5 and 6! (Taipei)

Day 5: Pomelo --> 忠烈祠 --> Bellavita --> 誠品信義書店 --> Mr. J 藤原豆腐新生店
Day 6: 85度C (85 Degrees Cafe) --> Friendship Presbyterian Church --> Breeze @ Taipei Main Station --> National Taiwan Museum --> Taipei Main Station Underground Mall --> Ximending

Day 5

We started the day of with breakfast at a shop called Pomelo at Ximending! This is where we had most of our breakfast at, because 永和豆漿 always has a lot of people queuing up!.. But honestly speaking, I feel that this place serves good breakfast too! It also has a clean and nice environment to eat in accompanied with modern chinese music playing in the background. 

Breakfast! Love the 蛋饼!
Headed to 忠烈祠 after that.

A place for tourist~

Really upz. They don't move a single inch.
Hehe.
Their foot drills are really up there too.
Next, we went to the Bellavita Gourmet Food Hall for lunch. Nearest metro station is Taipei City Hall Station.




Korean food~
After that, we went to Eslite Xinyi Store (誠品信義書店), just one or two buildings away from the Bellavita. It is the largest bookstore I have ever seen! Other than books, they also have Eslite music and DVD sections, stationary sections, lifestyle floors, children's floor as well as food stores!



 It was a rainy day and so we decided to go to Jay Chou's Teng Yuan Tofu Shop (Mr. J 藤原豆腐新生店)
 for dinner!
To our disappointment, this was replaced with...
This.. As the AE86 was being sent for maintenance.. 


Salad~
The sashimi was really thick and fresh!
Jay Chou sushi!
Crayfish
Fried rice!
Here is the address if you are interested in visiting this restaurant! Hopefully you get to see the real AE86!

Day 6

It was a Sunday and I thank God for an enjoyable trip so far despite the weather. This is one part of the trip where we sticked to the plan and so off we were to the Friendship Presbyterian Church after having a quick breakfast at 85度C (85 Degrees Cafe)! I was glad that I had gone to that church on that particular Sunday, as I was so blessed by the service and the message that the pastor had spoken about. His sermon was from Matthew 5-7, The Sermon On The Mount, where Jesus had spoken to a crowd on a mountainside. The Bible gave a long account of what Jesus had spoken, and since these were words that were spoken by the Son of God, shouldn't we value His words and take His words seriously? I am glad that I had attended the service to hear the pastor shed some light on what Jesus had spoken.

After the service, we went to Breeze Taipei Station for lunch! This place has so much food options! Basically, the whole second level of the building is filled with restaurants and food courts, with so much choices that you do not know which one to choose from! What we did was, we walked one full round before deciding to eat at a food court selling Taiwanese cuisines, where we had to make a second round of decision on which stall to buy from!

This was the food court we ate in. Really crowded!
Yummy!
After lunch, we made our way to the National Taiwan Museum. There is an entrance fee of NT 30 and a discount of NT 15 for those who has a 青年旅游卡, which I got from one of the metro stations during my last Taipei trip in November 2014! I would say that there is not a lot to see in this museum, but if you are lacking in places to go and are interested in learning more about Taiwan's history, why not consider this place! 

Photos are not allowed in some of the exhibitions! So I had to take a selfie when there was a chance! :0
Mum and I
Next, we went to another one of the underground malls at Taipei Main Station! I can't remember which area of the underground mall was it that we went to though. We had fun playing the claw machine!! Both my brother and I managed to get one toy each! :D


Next, we headed back to Ximending to explore the place further! It was raining again and we thought it would be good to visit a place close to home! Had dinner at Pastabar!

Awww~
Cute pepper and salt shakers :D
White wine clam pasta! 
End of day 6. :)
