When I stayed in Star Hostel at Huayin Street, Taipei late last year, there is something that I kept witnessing whenever I went in/out of the hostel. Theres this very cute half-corner-shop just next door to Star Hostel thats always buzzing with customers (majority locals). The shop is called...
My Taiwan 2015 travelouge so far: 1. Taipei Day 1: AirAsia, Star Hostel Ningxia Road Night Market 2. Jiufen Day 2: Jiufen Old Street 3. Beitou + Taipei Day 3: Hot Spring Shilin Night Market Started day 4 with breakfast at Star Hostel. This is my least favorite breakfast of all. It was rather...

Remember in my previous post I was talking about an evening feast? THIS is it Din Tai Fung! Even though Ive eaten at Din Tai Fung in Malaysia, its still a must-visit for foodie like us when we visit Taiwan. After all its the birthplace of this famous eatery establishment. My...
After a tiresome, hungry and slightly disappointed afternoon on day 4 in Taiwan (Ill tell you what it was later in another post), we proceed to the nearby Eslite Xinyi Store for lunch. Our main agenda was TKK Fried Chicken 頂呱呱 (ting kua kua), a famous Taiwanese fast food fried chicken chain...
Guess what we had for our day 4 lunch in Taiwan? Oh yes, lu rou fan again! LOL If you didnt know, we had lu rou fan at Formosa Chang less than 24 hours before that. And lu rou fan at Formosa Chang again on day 5. After visiting Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall, its only natural to visit Jin Feng...
My Taiwan 2015 travelouge so far: 1. Taipei Day 1: AirAsia, Star Hostel Ningxia Road Night Market 2. Jiufen Day 2: Jiufen Old Street Day 3 in Taipei started off at Star Cafe with our breakfast at 8am. This is by far my favorite breakfast combination from Star Cafe waffles, bacon bits, egg and...
On the evening of our day 3 Taiwan trip, we decided to have a fulfilling dinner before embarking towards the food paradise called Shilin Market. We had our dinner at Formosa Chang 鬍鬚張, about 10 minutes walk from Jiantan MRT (the stop for Shilin Market). Heaven on earth. 💓 Now, why would we want to...
My day 3 at Taiwan was spent at Beitou (half day), a place that is famous for hot springs! Lunch was at this local ramen place called Man Ke Wu Ramen 滿客屋拉麵, just few stones throw away from Geothermal Valley. While I was researching about this ramen restaurant prior to this trip, I found there are...
When I made the vanilla cupcakes adapted from Cupcakes from the Primrose Bakery book, I also made their vanilla buttercream icing. I halved their recipe because I didnt need that much buttercream which is just right for my 12 cupcakes. Feel free to double the recipe if you use more buttercream in one...
With a new Star Wars movie (2015), there bound to be Star Wars collectors items. So when I heard theres an R2D2 come bundle with Nestle breakfast cereal, I knew I gotta have it. And apparently you need to purchase 2 boxes of Nestle cereal 500g to get R2D2. Thats a lot of money (~RM28)...
Hey all, Happy New Year 2016! 🎉 Have a fab, happy and healthy year! Ill start my first post of 2016 with a sweet treat. Vanilla cupcakes (recipe from Primrose Bakery) Having visited Primrose Bakery in London few years back, I was not impressed with their cupcake. It was dry. But because I have...
Hey hey, Happy New Year 2016! The Lego Shell collection came (1st Nov) and went (13th Dec) by creating such fanfare for Lego collectors around Malaysia late last year. I wasnt aware of this (as Im not the person whos in charged of filling the gas tank). My sis knew about it but...
Ahhh how do I start? 2015 is a REALLY tough year for me. I would say its the toughest one yet. On happier things first. Im glad my family members are healthy. Now dad, if only you can quit smoking!!! Really man. It breaks my heart to see you gambling your life away. I also appreciated the time...
Oh Yes!!! My Korean drama addiction is still going strong. Im more selective/fussy this year when choosing what I want to watch. In total, I watched 12 Korean dramas and another 6 which I ditched because I couldnt stand them. The B.E.S.T There are 3 K. dramas which I considered the BEST in my...
I went to Jiufen Old Street 九份老街 on day 2 of my Taiwan trip. With little-to-no expectation, this out of Taipei day trip turns out well and enjoyable. Before this trip, we made a list of food to try and we got all that accomplished enough to fill our tummy to the max! Check out what we ate at...
Continuation from Taipei Day 1: AirAsia, Star Hostel Ningxia Road Night Market At 8am, we had our free breakfast at Star Cafe (a beautiful dining place inside Star Hostel our accommodation in Taipei). Star Cafe my most favorite place in Star Hostel. Feels like dining in a real cafe!
After coming back from our pleasant Jiufen trip in the evening, we had to scrap the rest of our day 2 plans due to lack of time. Goodbye to dining at Din Tai Fung (original shop), Du Xiao Yue and Woolloomooloo. My sis suggested ramen at Ippudo (Zhongshan branch) since its near our hostel. Ive...
I visited Ningxia Road Night Market (寧夏夜市 Níngxià yèshì) on my first evening in Taipei. Since we had just arrived in Taiwan that late afternoon, its not wise to be adventurous and flock far away for dinner because everyone was very tired. Ningxia Road Night Market is only 9 mins walk from...
