[Yeliu --> Shi Lin Night Market]
Learned from our experience the day before, we have decided to buy some fried carrot cake and fried eggs from the auntie selling breakfast along the streets. Hmm… not that delicious, but beggars can’t be choosers.
Took a bus from Taipei Intercity Bus Terminus (NTD102 per trip) and got off at Yeliu. Walked for about 300m before we got to the Geo Park.
So… What is there in Yeliu? Well… see for yourself!
The most famous is the Queen’s Head… Looks very much like it, isn’t it?
Other than the Queen’s Head, most people are here for the scenery.
If you make an effort to climb up to the top, you will see all these…
Oh! There are some beautiful lilies too!
After we left the park, we had some simple lunch and bought some cuttle fish etc from the stalls below. But upon returning to Singapore, I felt that they didn't taste as good anymore... Felt kena cheated!
Originally, when we were planning our itinerary, we wanted to cover Yeliu, Keelung, Jinguashi, Jiufen, Miaokou all in one day. However, on our way to the bus-stop, my 'lazy-cum-tired' friend asked if it is alright to end the trip and head back to our hotel. She was so tired that she wanted to go back and rest before going to Shi Lin Night Market. Well... what can I say? I can't possibly go to Jinguashi on my own! *sigh* Felt kena short-changed...

By the time we left our hotel for the NM, we were feeling quite hungry. There was this Egyptian man who was selling kebab just outside our hotel and we decided to buy one from him. Surprisingly, the kebab tastes so good that when we returned from the NM, we bought another one from him! For those who planned to stay in Rainbow Hotel when you visit Taipei, do look out for him! His Kebab deserves 5 star rating! Simply yummy! (but must eat it while it is hot!)
Ok... Let's see what we have found in the famous Shi Lin Night Market!
In the NM, they sell fresh fruits on push carts... Like the way they have displayed the fruits, though I am doubtful that the fruits are clean!
The sausages sold in Taipei are super duper big in size! However, we didn't think we could finish one sausage without spoiling our dinner, so we gave it a miss.
This huge un-cut 香鸡扒 seems very popular... Just look at the queue below! But we did not manage to finish it... simply too big!
This is the first time I saw a white color bitter gourd! Wonder how does it taste like when you make bitter gourd juice out of it??
We tried this Chicken butt (七里香) above. So-so only! They also sell other interesting stuff like the pig's blood (black in color) below!
I regretted not buying this Almond tidbits! It is actually very nice, but my luggage has no space left for it!
This shop has a very weird name! What they are selling is simply thick slice of bread with stuff inside!
I thought this 泡泡冰 will taste real nice like my favourite mango ice, but it was too sweet!
This is something which I did not try it myself. But felt that it looks very interesting! It is called 煎包!
