We set off really early that morning to head off to Shih Fen,because we weren’t too sure how long the railway is going to take to reach there. So we grabbed Sushi Express from Ximen station and ate the sushi at the station exit for breakfast! We weren’t too sure when we’ll get to eat lunch also. Better to be filled first!
The sushi express at the ximen station is actually quite nice and very affordable also. Most of the sushi were SGD 0.50 – SGD 1. They are all freshly made in the morning when the stall opens. Recently they open a chain outlet in Singapore at Cityhall! We were to excited to try it out! If you have been to citylink you should have noticed this place,it’s a new sushi place specially adv as $1.80 per plate! We tried it,it’s Sushi belt style,and there’s no other form of sides and main course, everything is on the belt, well,I would say it’s not as nice as the one I had in Taipei,but I guess it’s still worth it to get a plate of sushi (or even sashimi) at $1.80++.
We headed off to Taipei main station to take railway. On the way towards the railway station we saw this HUGE magazine shop selling all sorts of e-mook! They just hang the bags for display,so you can better view the actual size of the bag and how it really look like (beats seeing it for the small little picture shown on the cover of the magazine!). From the looks of it,you’re sure they have huge variety and range of magazine (especially e-mook!).
Okay! So we got our tickets to Ruifang station,which is the place we were suppose to change train to get to Shih Fen station!
Waiting for train~~~
See a lot of these vending machines in Taiwan. They dont sell 100+ or coke. They usually sell tea in bottles. And we tried a few of them,it’s very nice! We also tried the yellow bottle one above (Jiu Shi Cha)! Nice!
The train is quite comfy + powerful aircon! It’s very nice for a long journey.
Now we share our e-mook we bought just now!
I got the Fred Perry Tote! I’m using it frequently now! I love it so much because it can hold my laptop! Just the right size! Plus can hold much more stuffs without looking gigantic on the outside! Boy got the armani sling bag! Looks quite good too!
Okay,then a while later,our comfort ended,somehow we had to change another train (I don’t know why,I just followed the crowd and this friendly family who happen to be heading to the same place as us led us to take the next train).
The weather so SO good! The sky is so pretty! Cant stop snapping photos!
“Haiz,when on earth is the train coming?” 
Finally we got to Ruifang station after changing train like 3 – 4 times -.-”.Then we realise we need to change again before we can reach Shih Fen,oh man,might as well just feed ourselves first. So we stayed at Ruifang for lunch until the next train comes!
I thought “WOW! XLB! I WANT!”
Turn out to be,OMG don’t know what weird thing is this! It’s really gross.I cant believe boy and I swallow all of it! Because of the courtesy that we were sitting at the table right in front of the shop 
.
I really like this one! Its “feng jiao”. It’s pork oil wrap and some meat and veggie inside then deep fried and dipped with some form of teriyaki-alike sauce. It’s niceee!!! It’s quite famous there,just pick the one with the longest Q! Haha,but I believe most of them are nice. All of them have strong recommendation article/photo from press media and celebrities.
This is a random pork soup (which we initially mistaken as shark fin soup). Hmm,it’s not too bad also! Boy love this a lot!
This is one of their local specialty – Pepper Biscuit. It’s bit like Tau Sa Piah but with meat and some veggie inside. And how do I describe the taste of this. Well,it’s really call Pepper Biscuit,because I can only taste pepper and nothing else. I don’t like this. Felt that it’s bit too strong in the pepper taste make me choke,but people who like it will like it a lot,it’s a very subjective taste.
My happy boy and his happy pepper biscuit!
Will blog about Shih Fen next time!
