[TW; 2023] Day 6 - Taipei City
Day6
1. 富士山の豬
A small shop around the Taipei Main Station that sells pork patty danbing, and of course other brunch items:
The portions are really very generous and not very pricey for such a nice cafe vibe! Good brunch place. But I would still prefer my danbing in the more traditional way :)
2. Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall 國立中正紀念堂

Not my first time here but I was always amazed by the huge space!
3. Rongjin Gorgeous Time 榕錦時光生活園區
We walked from memorial hall to Rongjin.

This place was used to be a prison during the time of Japan occupation.
Hence it was very Japanese influence - the style, buildings and etc.
There's a lot of little shops and restaurants. Lots to see and to explore. What really amazed me is this brick wall where it was the actual prison wall.
We stopover at a chocolate shop, and they were selling very unique chocolate gifts!
幸福可可黑巧克力專賣店
The owner was very friendly and allowed us to test a lot of their products before purchase. Happy afternoon tasting chocolates.
4. Dongmen 東門
Hao Kung Tao Chin Chi Yuan (Da'an) 好公道金雞園

We wanted to try this Michelin Bib Gourmand awarded store that was really popular in social media. The wait wasn't too long (less than 15 mins) on a Sunday lunch - the staff will tell you it is fully packed and you need to wait super long, but we realised it was a tactic so that more will takeout vs dine in.
Good range of food listed on the menu:
5. Nap Tea 再睡5分鐘
Bubble tea shop opened by a famous Taiwan Youtuber!

They have multiple of outlets, and even in convenient stores, and this was near the hotel we were staying!
6. Yongle Tainan Fried-Spanish Mackerel Thick Soup 永樂台南土魠魚羹

Back to my favourite store - despite it has low google rating (like just 2.3 stars), super expensive and unfriendly staff. I still make an effort to come every Taipei trip!
Something different this time was I had it late at night, when they were almost ending the day, so the staff was a little bit much friendlier. I would recommend this thick soup if you like your fish to taste a little fishy.
6. Ningxia Night Market 寧夏夜市

If you only have 1 night in Taipei - I would recommend Ningxia over the others. Firstly the location is good, near to the city; secondly I feel food are a little more localised; and lastly food there are above average.
Tried this famous Michelin's Oyster Omelette!

The queue was quite... scary hahahaha. Maybe it was a Sunday evening, I recommend to takeaway - there was a shorter queue for it and you can get it within 15 mins or so. The dine in queue was super long that it will probably take an hour.
It was very yummy - I tried the other oyster omelette stores on the same stretch before and was surprised I didn't come for this previously (I'm sure back then there wasn't much queue, the night market was laid back). Probably one of the few top omelette stores on my list, I liked how chewy the omelette is, don't mind coming back for this!
And the Taiwan trip ended perfectly with a cup of bubble tea :) I cannot wait to travel Taiwan again for my 10th time!
