I fell in love with Taiwan a long time back! Finally I am back to Taiwan for a long awaited holiday with my family. I brought them on a 8 day trip on the route which I have previously rode in Feb 2012.
Here comes my gushing of my wonderful trip to my beloved travel destination - Taiwan!
Day 1 - ( 9 Mar 2013 )
Took a 12.58am flight on Scoot to Taoyuan airport T2, arriving before 6am. The plan is to wash up at the airport and get all our mobile pre paid sim cards at 7am when the mobile stores open. We have time to have some breakfast at 7-11 before our driver pick us up at 8am. I LOVE their 7-11! Love. There is so many selection of beverages and food.

| Try the coffee on the top left. SImply love it!! And the Roasted Milk Tea on Bottom left pic. Best! |
 |
| The Taiwan beer are cheap and good. Only SGD1 plus! U can Drink drank drunk all you want! |
 |
| Like the milk so much. I wish our 7-11 carry all these... :( |
 |
| This is so yummy. Try the spicy one, It is better IMO. There is pig blood for the more adventurous. But it is rather tasteless lah.. |
Pre Paid Mobile plans
You can opt for pre paid plans with 3G or without 3G depending on your preference. There are a few service providers with different plans so you can find one that suits you the best.
You can top up the value at any convenience store. Very easy to use. Personally i think do not need the 3G plan as most hotel come with free wifi. When you are out and about, got time to use phone meh.. I am always busy with eating , shopping, seeing.. no time to use phone to surf...:P
Journey Start
Our Driver, 小熊 picked us up at 8.30 am we we headed off to our first destination. 小熊is a relief driver for the driver (吴先生） we booked intially. We booked for 5 days to bring us around taiwan. And 小熊is such a angel compared to 吴先生. He is extremely accommodating and sincere. He will try his best to accommodate your request and give you suggestions. Though we can tell he is not very experienced but thumbs up for the effort. I would give contact of drivers if they are good enough..but.... forget it okie...

1st Stop
On the way to Taichung, you can drop by Flying Cow Ranch if you are taking your own transport or hiring a private driver. It is a huge farm with 4 different concept of eatery, accommodation, horse carriage riding, bunny play area and DIY farm experience, etc... If you wish to stay over, there will be nice too. However, we are just dropping by.

Red Barn Restaurant / 紅穀倉 , never try coz not enough time but price for per set around SGD20 upwards.
 The fast food restaurant is beside the snacks shop. You have to come to this part of the farm!! HAVE TO! The Spicy chicken burger is THE BEST! NT98 The best i ever tasted in my bloody whole life. No one can manage to make fried chicken to be that level of crisp and lightness!! Insanely good.Because we are heading to Wuqi Fishing Harbour to have lunch. That is why the few of us share a burger. I ever stop my bro to buy one more coz we are going for lunch.. Super regret ah!! I should buy 10 to eat in the hotel room at night ah.... "Hit chest"  |
At the snack shop beside the fast food restaurant, you can find these interesting looking round dessert. It is milk pudding in like a rubber ball. You can prick it with a toothpick and let the pudding ooze out or just cut open and eat it like that. I read somewhere that if you let it ooze out, it will give a different texture but when I prick it, the rubber burst and I held the milk pudding on my hand and make a mess.
It was light flavored and creamy. I like it enough to want to haul some back but it has to be refrigerated/ eaten within 3 hours I think. So i cannot buy!!! :(
The "Chak buey tua" 吃不大, playing the lousy, rusty merry go round.

Another souvenir shop. Nothing worth buying except the Massage balm. Got it for my colleagues and they like it lot.
