Haha food was not bad and very homely. Haha We had a full breakfast before proceed to Zhongxiao Fu Xing Station to take bus 1062 to Jiufen 九份.
I was hoping that the weather will be cooler or maybe rain but it was mad hot and crowded.
Ordered a cold brew coffee to quench our thirst!
Light and crispy pastry with taro paste from misty! Super love!
Tried their fish ball soup and tau pok with fish paste. I don't really fancy the fish balls because the texture is very dense and doesn't feel bouncy. Haha however the tau pok is quite special.
Something not to be missed in my itinerary was to eat taro balls. We tried the famous Ah Gan Yi Yu Yuan 阿柑姨芋圆 which is located uphill. It was a total disappointment. I tried every flavour before discarding into the bin. The standard must have dropped because there were many good reviews.
Took bus 1062 back to Houshanpi station to shop at Wu Fen Pu 五分埔 where is the garment wholesale area. The whole place was quiet which was unlike the crowd I had seen 2 years ago. Anyway we didn't buy any clothes. The clothes were either low quality or too expensive. I think we are so spoilt with the good quality clothes our local e-commerce can provide.
At Rao He night market that was extremely crowded which I find a little breathless. Tried this spring onion wrap with Taiwan sausage. It wasn't good. The spring onions were too raw.
Told my sister to get a bubble tea while I queue for a black pepper bun. She was looking around to choose which store and I told her that bubble tea can never go wrong in Taiwan. Just pick anyone. So this bubble tea from this store really cannot make it. Hahaha I should slap myself.
Not to miss the black pepper bun in Rao He Night Market. The queue was very long but fast!
