Appetizing Meal @ Taiwan ~ 台北~

From my earlier post - PART 1 PART 2 PART 3

Found lots of food picture in my HDD.. I must share with you all!! Haha Aside from shopping and sight seeing, we had lots of scrumptious meal back in Taiwan then. Some food still not available in Malaysia yet. It's tempting that you will feel hungry! I warned you first! LOL

I've lost count how many times I had meals at Taiwan during the trip. All I can say is I ate something we can't get it back home. As someone who really enjoy food, no doubt, I do miss some of these extremely appetizing meal.

Ahhh.. I super love this.. The aunty seller who made this has her stall just very near our home in Taipei. We literally went to the night market just to eat some of the food we loved again and again!! This fried oyster is a little different from our Malaysian style. They topped up with a kind of vegetable (I really don't know its name) and fried with egg, starch and oyster.

We also made ourselves walked along the night market not only looking for cheap clothing and other non-edible stuff. Look at this bread stuff with chicken, ham and etc. Real yummy!

Home-licious Meal

Hello weekend! Life is always good when it comes to weekend ^_^ 

Been making my own meals for the past few weeks! I am trying to have a healthier lifestyle now that I take into consideration of home-cook meal and also self-motivated exercise namely stretching and light Pilate exercise. My brother even bought bicycles and we can do cycling around the park. Sounds good but I hope I am determined to continue! Must ask Li Huey to motivate me more! She is very disciplined now that I see lots of improvement in her physical appearance!  <3


Made this for breakfast. Boiled potatoes with wheatmeal massimo bread, omelette eggs and salad. They are so easy to prepare. I need like 10 - 15 minutes to get this done. Potatoes took a longer time though. I sprinkled some oregano and black pepper to the potatoes. As for the salad - it's only tomatoes and japanese cucumbers that I cut into cubes. Mixed them with some mozzarella cheese, garlic, olive oil and black pepper. Put in the fridge for a while for better taste! 


When craving for miso and udon, mixed them together , cut some smooth tofu into cubes with some tomatoes cherries. It tasted good too. 


I loved Maggie Mee most times. Yes I know this ain't healthy but adding mushrooms, veges and carrots should help! Hahahaha.. This is maggie curry flavour! 


When I missed soba, I made this plain soba with miso! 


Fried soba with vegetarian tempura and miso soup! Clever or not me? Haha


Super love this meal cause it's my favourite spaghetti! Actually I like lots of food! LOL.. Steam the whole potato and sprinkled some black pepper, salt and oregano leaves. I had some strawberries too! Trying to make the presentation like bento style ^_^


My sister made this meal and tempt me by sending this picture to me. Looks great too right! 


Avocado blended with banana and orange! Super good drink! I feel full after having this. Good day start with healthy drink! 

I am sorry because I didn't warned you earlier and I made you hungry! LOLOL!! 


Spammed again! LOL.. I had this yesterday for lunch at Nature's Spoon! Healthy Vegetarian Food - ordered Nasi Lemak set that comes with corn, ladies fingers, curry potatoes, vegetarian anchovies and "xiao pai cai" (Dunno what's that call in English)

That's how I enjoyed my meal for the week! It's all vegetarian! Feel good to my body or it's just me assuming they are good , so I feel good too!! Haha


Posting blur picture of me yesterday! Happy Weekend everyone! 

Stay tuned for my next post  - all about eyes + make-up + removal! ^_^

LANEIGE Firming Sleeping Mask

Have you been looking for something easy to apply and wake up with crease free skin? We are familiar with almost all types of facial masks including sheet masks, bubble masks, clay masks and even leave-in masks. It's easier to use something that we don't have to wash them away after ten to twenty minutes. Sometimes, we got lazy but still want to look pretty at the same time. 



Kudos to Amorepacific, founder of Laneige - they continuously improve and upgrade it's products. Laneige Firming Sleeping Pack - currently one of the raved product in Asia! Thanks to Hermo.my again!! Received my sleeping pack in perfect condition. Super loved how they boxed and bubble-wrap our orders ensuring the products we received are in superb condition. I can also recycle the boxes and bubble wrap they sent us. Talking about environmental-friendly act! ^_^




Laniege 50ml Firming Sleeping Pack comes with a spatula for hygiene purposes since it does not come in bottle packaging. This supple and resilient pack restores skin firmness while we sleep. This is actually Laneige sleeping pack's new version, an upgrade version of the Water Sleeping Pack. The main ingredients - SleePOP -  an instant reshaping memory form gel that rejuvinates the sagging skin during the night. As for Sleepscent - it release a scent that helps deep sleep and soothes tired skin. I don't need to remove once I applied it, I can go to sleep and my dragged skin will be UP! My mood will be UP too!!  :-) 


Look at how the memory form gel recovers in 20 seconds. No matter how often I used the spatula to stir the pack, it will return to its original shape. This means the pack gonna restore and enhance my skin, it gonna help to recover my ongoing wrinkles during the night and prevents damage during the day. Sounds so good that  I can't resist Laneige again! Well, I literally need firming care now!    


It's easy to use this firming sleeping pack. After cleansing in the evening, remember to apply your favourite toner, serum and emulsion. Apply an appropriate amount of sleeping pack and gently spread from the chin to the center of the face towards its contours. Let it stay in the skin during the night and wash it off in the morning. 


That's the spatula from the pack. Laneige is always a loved item. I am sure most of ladies out there agree with me. Yesterday night before sleep, I applied the Firming Sleeping Mask, When I wake up the next morning, I went to the mirror and look if any crease lines from sleep. I feel more comfortable sleeping on my stomach and I am sure all these position contributes to crease lines. To my surprise, no more crease lines! I could feel a firmer and hydrated skin! Happy me!! ^_^



Achieve beautiful skin with this Sleeping Mask by using at least twice a week! Our skin gonna thank us for being a dedicated lady! Haha 

Bye Bye Crease! Bye Bye Fine Lines! 

Hermo.my is selling Laneige Firming Sleeping Mask at RM 99. They are having a limited offer this week - purchase Laneige Foam Cleanser Moisture and Firming Sleeping Pack for only RM 149. It's a real deal as normal price is RM 214! It's cheaper that getting over the counter. Rest assured these are 100% original!

Don't forget to visit Hermo.my! Have a blessed week!

台湾点点滴滴 PART 3 ~ 台北~ 北投~淡水~

Taipei ~~~ I couldn't get you out of my mind. I must visit you again. I am sorry I can't get enough of you that I still think of you and I still want to share about you... LOL!!

If you haven't read my earlier post on Taiwan - PART 1 and PART2 and I am writing Part 3 - accompanied by my favourite songs sung by Taiwanese singers. 超有感! Super got feel!! Haha


Reaching the city of Taipei, we never stop wondering around. Too many good stuff to explore and I truly enjoy every single moment of it. Just like some other tourists, we chose to visit historical places and some other famous places so called not to be missed!


  
This is a must to visit I guess! LOL..Taipei tallest building - TAIPEI 101. We went up and truly enjoy every moment of it. I was told by the local taxi drivers that if you actually followed a group tour, they literally rush up and down the building like in seconds and you don't get to truly explore those places. What a waste! Going holidays and still need to rush like you are late to work! Haha I thankful that I get to travel with my buddies and we travel at our own pace, taking our own sweet time without the need to wait for others that we don't know.



To prove that we truly enjoy our time, so here's a picture of us with TAIPEI 101 icon. LOL!! Just kidding!! We took so many pictures and I really loved to share all of it here! But space constraint..... 



I must say that snail mail and cute journal-ling stuffs are easily available in Taiwan. I saw greetings areas at almost every places I visited there. They have very unique rubber stamps and postcards. We can actually make cute entry or daily blog in our hand written diaries, journals, etc! You can even send those postcards you've designed with stamping back home to friends, families or lovers! How sweet! 



After meal, went back to our home sweet home in Taipei. We don't usually stay in hotel. With this, we could truly enjoy the culture of a country! ^_^ The apartment consists of 4 rooms and it has pantry area (cannot cook of course)  Just water dispensers and a fridge. We also have a washing machine and dryer too. It's way too convenient that Watson and 7-Eleven is also just a walking distance. Can buy drinks and stock them for our six days stay! 



6 days of us in this cosy room. Super clean compare to those 2 stars or 3 stars motel la!!! 


Watching Taiwan drama, reality shows and movies while enjoying supper! Super nice!!! 



The next morning - we walked, took the cab, bus and MRT. Basically all the means of transportation available in Taipei, we tried it all. Haha... Found this CAMA cafe and we had breakfast there. Look at the menu; the price were kind of reasonable. 



The staff uses this bicycle to deliver orders from their customer. Call it environmental friendly. I never see any company here uses bicycle for delivery. That's the reason I share this picture. LOL



Saw this sculptures at one of the MRT station. I know the floor its dirty! But just feel like sitting down and capture the cutie! LOL!! 



Streets of Taipei. We walked around to really enjoy the varied scenery. 



And we reached here - Ketagalan Museum at Beitou. If you actually googled Taipei tourist attraction, they have lots of museums, parks and notable buildings. Although we didn't manage to visit all of it, but to us these few nice places that we managed to visit and really spend time to understand it's history is worth the walk. This Ketagalan Museum is a cultural and historical exhibition of the Ketagalan people. The term "Ketagalan" represents a totem symbol of lowland aborigines. We will see the different culture, language, history, arts of this urban indigenous people. If you love history, you may love this place. I don't like to study History but I love to visit such place for an eye opener. Don't need to take exam, still ok what! LOL!! 



Hello Ketagalan People!! LOL



Taiwanese people reads a lot! Look at this library! Super big.. And in MRT I see people carrying books to read too! 




Historical place around Beitou! If you are visiting Beitou, you can see all of these around that area - Tittot Glass Art Museum, Hong Gah Museum, National Taiwan Folk Arts Museum, China Ceramics Museum and Robot Museum. Basically, it's worth the visit right? ^_^ 



This place looks like the taekwondo area we always watched in drama.LOL



Visited the Beitou Hot Springs as well! If you go during Spring, Autumn or Winter, its a great time to enjoy the hot spring. Not on summer! Already so hot!! 



When come to this place, we hardly say no la!! LOL!! Shopping time!! We are at DanShui!



Super cheap bikinis!! :-) It's really a shopping paradise in Taiwan!! 



Bought bags and the owner super friendly. Got my bags for less than RM25 three years ago! 



Why I am heading to a boat? Yeah!! I am crossing over to another island for Lovers Bridge!! 



I am here at Lovers Bridge but left my lover behind!! Hahahahaha...



Took a lot of shots there! Thanks to my buddies! They are using NIKON camera for these shot! 



Why is Taiwan so loved!!! Everything of you is so attractive!! Even the clouds!! 



I really wanna go back there again!!! Must not forget lover this time!!! LOL!! 



Good Bye Beitou!! Next destination is night market. If not mistaken, we went to Shida Night Market (師大夜市) 









So you see.. These are food not found in Malaysia. Forget about Wan Tan Mee and Hokkien Mee for now.. We are hunting down for food... LOL!! 

Realized we took lots of foodie pics as well. Should make another entry to share with you guys best food around Taiwan!! 

See you again!! Chao for now!!
