Day 8: Last day in Taiwan

We had a very late night (shopping in Shilin night market till 2am!) and only managed to wake up around 11am or so. Our last day in Taiwan today!! Nothing much was planned for today … Just got to make last min purchases (e.g. beauty products, food, etc), return to hotel earlier and pack our luggage to catch the morning flight to Hong Kong tmr =)

SY and her beauty products – Beautiful Diary Masks

The complimentary soft toys from the souvenir store at Shilin night market (cos we asked for it, hahaha)

Beautiful compact mirrors as souvenir for the ladies

Late lunch at the food court found at one of the many shopping malls in Ximending. There’s set meal promotion (main dish plus soup/bread), priced from NT100 to NT150. Look and feel is kinda like our food court here…

Outside Ximending station and the buildings around it. Just look at the crowd on a Saturday night… Argh!

李儀餅店 at Taipei Underground Rail Mall. This shop is famous for its freshly made 綠豆沙餅,咖哩酥,鳳梨酥 and only SY bought them cos she’ll return to Singapore earlier than us as you would need to consume these pastries within a week.

Dessert stall in Ximending, famous for its yam products. SY bought yam paste for supper…

… while Emi bought crispy chicken.

All in all, it had been a great, fun and exciting sightseeing cum shopping trip to Taiwan! I would have to visit Taroko Gorge and Alishan on my next trip... which would be at least a few years down the future, hahaha =)
