Taipei, Taiwan (Day 4)

I had Saizeriya for brunch today. Saizeriya is a cheap Japanese-Italian food outlet that can be found in XMD. The prices are also much cheaper than Singapore's Saizeriya's. 



After that, I proceeded to the National Museum of History. The metro station to stop at would be CKS Memorial Hall Station. The entry is free and it was a great place to take photographs, so I spent a good 2 hours there. 


This is not all. At the ground level, there's actually an exhibition of Chiang Kai Shiek's life.


Here's a picture of his car! It's huge! 


After that, I went shopping at Wu Fen Pu. Basically, Wu Fen Pu is a wholesale market, and it will be best to go during the weekdays, except on Monday as they are more interested in the wholesale sellers. Wu Fen Pu doesn't open very early, the stalls usually open at around 2-3pm. In order to go to Wu Fen Pu, do take the metro to Houshanpi station, and go by exit 4. After that, follow the signs and you should reach there at about 10 minutes if you do a slow walk. They do not allow trying, but if you are of a smaller size, most clothes should be able to fit you. 

After shopping, I decided to have my tea break at a cafe called "Mita" near Wu Fen Pu. I had a pineapple tart, floss bread, and matcha green tea. It was a nice break from shopping. 


After that, I went to Raohe Night Market. In my opinion, Raohe Night Market is my favourite night market as there are a lot of delicious food over there. From Wu Fen Pu, it is about a 15 minutes walk there. You just have to spot the Songshan Rail Station and continue walking towards it. 

I had my dosage of grilled corn at the night market. How they charge you for the corn is based on the weight of the corn. If the weight of the corn is 68g, they will charge you NT68! So if you are small eater, you can pick a smaller corn to try out. 

Here's a corn(y) picture to end the day..
