Taiwan trip - part 3

Continue the trip.. (second day)

After the bakery thing in Vigor, we went to one of the famous attraction for couples *usually couples :p .
In chinese they call it "爱情海" which means love sea. It's a romatic and relaxing place for couple or family to have a walk after meal or after a fight I think . 

First, let's take a look at their buildings. Their buildings are more like a korean and western style.

I was so attracted  by this "korean-style building". Actually is just a Subway restaurant .

 

Then take a 3 mins walk you will reach their landmark. A gigantic bridge holder in White.  Isn't awesome?  I think this is also a good place for shooting weding photo. Up at the bridge, you can see the life of fisherman and the view of the occean.

Next, here comes the activity that all most all the couple, family or best frens will do -----> RING THE BELL . There are several steps to follow; first of all makes a wish for example say out your lover's name. Then, say out what you wish for. Finally, RING THE BELL!!! Dong DOng DOng then your wish will come true.

According to my tour guide,this bell is not a normal bell *actually it is la hahahhaha for me , however they believe that after ringing the bell they will be blessed and surrounder with happiness ever after.

 

Besides ringing the miracle bell, you can also write your wishes on a piece of wood. Then tied it on the string they provided *familiar right..ermm..I seen this scene in Korean drama oftenly. The story always go like the actor and the actress fall in love and they write each other name on a piece of paper or bring a padlock and hang it on a string. Do this mean like the boy lock the girl up?? or the girl lock the boy??just kidding lol.

Whatever....

 

Coming next..Tar Tar 

We came to a  small street :)   

It looks like  korean street right? ! Actually it has nothing much special just the street it looks very vintage for me. This place is quite famous of their seafood because it is somewhere around to the sea.

 

That's why my father kept on looking for restaurant *at the beginning I was so annoyed why must daddy search on seafood!! Just get whatever we seen on the street..that's fine! Finally, in a sudden, we found a restaurant called 海风餐厅. At first the restaurant doesn't really attracting me because it looks quite old and messy. The restaurant is a double storey shop with wood floor. However the foods there are tasty for example the fried meehoo, pineapple prawn and so on. You can see it on the pic that I have already put a love with smiley face there.

 

After the meal, we went for a walk... saw this dog walking with his owner...so DAMN CUTE!! GLAMORUOS!

 

Third Day ~

This is our hotel  

It's just somewhere around the "love sea", this hotel is about 4 stars rated I think *but for me is quite a 3 stars quality :p.

You contact this hotel : 02-24928080 

 

The view from the hotel is quite okay! You can see the sea from your room or the restaurant.

The hotel do provide Hot Spring also but it is abit old already so not so hot.

Kindness remind : if you want to go for a hot spring, please do bring swimming cap, wear swim suit and better bring a bottle of water for you to recover water amount in your body.

 

 

After having our breakfast, we came to another tourism attraction. This tourism attraction I wouldn't recommend because it was a bored place for me la not sure about you. It is just a collection of stone that made by the sea wave for example there have a stone that looks like a queen head. For those who like geography, history or gardening will enjoy this place I think.

 > < I skipped some of the route because I have been to and write in my Last post :p This I must write, THE BEER OF TAIWAN. There are several flavour of beer; apple, pineapple, grape and peach I think. The flavour I recommend will be apple and pineapple. Have anyone of you try Somerby before?? The apple flavour taste abit like that.

 

At night we came to Fengjia Night Market. Fengjia night market is a very special night market. Actually this night market is not that famous and crowded but because of the Fengjia University located at there it became very famous. The products' price also resonable because most of their customers are students from Fengjia University. Also because of the student there got one of the chic clothes and trend at there. I suggest that either you purchase clothes at the 五分铺 just opposite Raohe Street Night Market or here "Fengjia Night Market" . Both has the cheapest and chic products.

 

 

 

 

 

Taiwan Trip- Part 2

Last post, I stopped at the first-day-temple-trip.
Okay, so after the temple we finally have some cool air.

We went to one of the favourite place in this trip. "Vigor Kobo" in chinese 维格饼家.

I have to introduce this so-called cake and pastries shop. This shop provides a good quality and amazing pineapple-mini cake as my tour guide told me. As I did some research from the internet this shop at the 2006 Gift Championship organized by Taipei City Council, we won first prize for our Pineapple Cake. At 2008 Gift Championship prize for the best “must buy” product. Very attractive right?!

 

 

 

 

  Can you see the cute cartoon statue! That is their logo and their symbol.  Different cartoon represent different types of biscuit. You can buy their cartoon pillow but I think the price is abit higher. Other than taking photo with the cartoon they also prepare alot of biscuit taster as you can see from the picture.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

 

The pineapple-mini cake from this shop is a little bit weird. You cant take it at the momment when it is out from the over. For me it is too dry and hard but after you put for a few days..this pineapple-mini cake becomes pretty delicious. It is soft, smoothes and tasty. I should have bought more! Regret when I got back.

Other than pineapple-mini cake their Milk sun cake

 

 

This one you can hardly find in Malaysia nor Singapore I think. This is so damn nice..is one of the must buy items in Taiwan. I forgot the price but I think is resonable...

 

Okay here comes the most important part!

This shop provive lesson for you to learn how to bake pineapple-mini cake!

 

Okay show you guys how our class looks like - - - ->

Very cute isn't

I love it so much especially the aircon :)))

They will provide you the ingrediants for example the dough with butter and the grinded pineapple.

They will provide a chef also known as the teacher for you.

 

Actually, the steps are easy with the leading of the "teacher" . You will spend about 45mins to 1 hour at this bakery. Dont think it is too long, you will miss this place!

 

After this, they will bring you to their musuem. The musuem located at the second floor of their shop and you can get lots of information about how pineapple grow, how to harvest and some "funny" technologies. Before you got into the musuem you have to travel by a elevator ; this elevator is one of the longest..*forgot the information already   . They will introduce to you dont worried :p

 Okay, I got to go ..preparing for my next trip Guess where am I going ! I will write about my third day next!



 



 

 

 

Okay okay, let me take a broom and sweep the dust away first ;p

Hi, everyone how ya going? Hope everything is fine!
It has been a long long time that I didnt write anything on Friday!
This few months? years? *sorry long time ago until I forgot how long I have never been writing a single post. Recently, I am spending most of my time playing Instagram and preparing my uni to starts!
Anyone play Insta here? add me if you do have Instagram : Stellaen93

 On the 29.5.2013, I went to Taiwan and have my amazing and relaxing holidays *actually I have one year holiday from the day I graduated from Canadian Pre-U (refers as CPU) :D .

Actually, this is not my first time landed on Taiwan. Whoever visited my blog before will know about my previous trip.

This time my family and I went to Taiwan with tour.

Okay let's talk about the Pros and Cons first, the pros of joining a tour is that you dont have to worried about your accomodation, routine and meals *this depence on which countries you going.

For example Taiwan you actually go for care-free option which means you are the tour guide! Because there are alot of mostels and hotel *I will recommend some of the best I stayed on. and Taiwan has lots of hawker centre what we say Pasar Malam (night market).

The Cons are tour usually give limited time for you to shop. Also tour must attend at least 2 to 3 shops that the Taiwan's government compulsory in every tour.

For those who want to go by carefree option. You should prepare a map, register a Taiwan phone number from myfone * a communication service provider something like maxis. You can see it quite often in Taiwan.

I dont know why my pictures are so less compared to last taiwan trip maybe is because of the weather. The weather during may is terrible worst than Malaysia because they are having their Summer! Please if you dont like hot please dont choose May to Aug, Taiwan temperature can go until 40 degree so please be concerned.

I am now going to present my Taiwan trip pictures and routine :)

TAr tAr!!
Obviously, writing my first day first! :)
At the midnight, we have our luggage and our excited mood off to Singapore- Changi airport!  5 hours flight ...I tell you what..dont ever choose a midnight flight because the sits are small compare to our bed. You cant rest properly on the plane I swear!  

Finally, we reached the paradise of foods -Taiwan around 6 in the morning. My face's complexion are terrible, no makeup, no washroom for me to take a early bath . Because we joined the tour group so we have to go for our first breakfast in Taiwan with this stupid face. Taiwanese traditional breakfast are so delicious! Soy, fritters,  pancakes (with onion leaf) and meet bun.

This is the restaurant! I think whoever study in Taiwan will know this restaurant. It is just a small shop lot and a few aunties servicing.

From the picture you can see there are lots of choices! bun, sandwiches, and so on..

In the picture I put two loves that means that is the foods you must try!

So the drinks first, they provide two flavours I think. One is the original soy another is the brown rice mixed soy.  Both also delicious!

Then the bun..they called it xiao long bao. Inside contains meat, onion leafs. Nice!!

 

After our lovely breakfast, we head to our first attractions. A temple . Actually in Taiwan there are lots of temple.. big ones, medium ones, small ones, new ones , antique ones.. Different temple pray for different God or organise by different society.

This is the front door of the temple. Isnt it awesome I mean the Carving!

Taiwanese do belive and loyal to their God. They donated alots of money to build their temple *most of their temple.

 

 

To Be Continued....



 



Sweep the dust with my lattest exercise! :)

Hola!
Waohhhhh :) wat a dusty blog I have!
Okay okay first I have started regain my diet again..I know this is so "omg":/
But I think this is because I am a Cancer *pls allow me to give myself an excuse ^^
So, I not sure whether you guys trust on the horoscope or maybe not,
BUT I do trust A Little bit TINY little little bit!!
Therefore it said that people who is Cancer can eat lots of lots of things not sure this is good or bad :/ but this is freaking TRUE!

For me I can eat from dawn to dust AND the amount I take ..hehehe really can feed up to two peopleXD can you imaging it!!!!! ? I think you can't because even though my frens that spent everyday with me while I was in college didn't believe in me! Share a secret, I can eat 5 to 8 bowls of rice in A MEAL! I know this is ridiculous :(

Okay, now to the point! I feel sorry to myself that I ate so much these few days but I really did extra workouts wish it could help me maintain or reduce my weight :))))

The picture below is the exercise I did this few days♥ and u can see I already had a bit of muscle on my thigh.
Some of you dont really like this muscle because they might think it is too " manly" but I think a bit is called sexy..if over it would really shave yr feminine away!!

Let's begin this workout!
First of all, prepare something that has weight for example a bottle * I usually take a 2kg dumbbell but for beginner I suggest that you should use something LIGHTER.

Step:
So put this weighted thing between your feets and clip it using yr feets.
Then pull up and put down * see the arrows on the photo!
Do many times you like until you feel abit CRAMP ;/

On the picture that I put highlight on it means that the part that you feel painful. The darker the highlight is the painful area it is!

Work it out guys!!! You can do it ♥
Stay tuned for more updates!

Happy New Year Everyone! ♥

Happy Chinese New Year!
I was so busy those past few days ><
Errr...sorry for not having a gathering with all of you .
I was busy helping my grandma and aunt to cook for almost 34 members of our family!!
Can you imaging that?! Is like a fully booked bus!
O..and our family has a new record!! -----> we rented a bus for our new year's transportation ♥♥
Okay, here I want to give some opinion.
First, I have a great experience for using a bus as transportation during new year!
As we know, new year is always jam, hard to find a car park and spending lots of money!
Thus, I think if everyone starts to use bus as a transportation..^^ I think the jam issue should be reduced!
Also, the government should provide more public transportation for people to travel during festival season.
Anyway, this is just my opinion!
I wish you guys will have a very good new year!! :D

The result after three weeks!

Hahahaha..morning everyone!!! ♥
( post a hilarious pic first!)
I have been on diet for almost three weeks.
My thigh has already reduce the diameter to 53..wahahahaha LOL
At the beginning, my thigh was 55 and now it reduced to 53 in just three weeks! ( actually is two weeks!)

My aim is around 40..
Errr 13 more to go!
I will continue my diet life and share with you guys!!!!
Stay tune for my new recipe!
