Taipei; Taiwan 2012 --- Mr.J French-Italian Restaurant

One of the nights in Taipei, I brought my mum and sis to Jay Chou's restaurant called Mr. J.
Yup, he has 3 restaurants in Taipei and I visited one of them.
The one I went was located at Taipei Medical University.
It is actually a school not a hospital.

Anyway, I don't really know how to direct you how to go there because we took a cab down.
I was unfamiliar with the route and it was raining then.
So cabbing is the best way to get to the destination if you are unfamiliar.
Cabbing in Taiwan is quite cheap as compared to Singapore.
Still if you were to compare with taking bus or train in Taiwan, then of cos cabbing is not the cheapest.

Here's the view of the school.
I wonder if Jay Chou do go to his restaurant once in a while?
If he did, I guess the students there will be so crazy! :O






Random pic of a statue call the thinker?

It is easy to find the restaurant when you are in the school.







The look inside.
Big Big poster of the Secret (不能说的秘密).













Narcissism with the menu. LOL! =X


My mum looking good here. ^.^

Appetizers

Salad


Soup of the day.


Garlic bread.

Desserts




Out of all the food, I don't fancy the pastas as it is not to my liking.
The others are still okay.
Quite disappointed with the food actually.
However, coming here is still an experience.
The place is really beautiful~

Taipei; Taiwan 2012 --- Hope I Didn't Make You Hungry~

As you know this is my 4th trip to Taipei, I guess I will just introduce you the food and restaurants that I've been to and some attraction in Taipei.
The retail therapy are nothing unusual and usually while shopping, we girls don't take any photo. HAHA!
.... So yup continue reading~ ;D

Be warned: Many food photos ahead!

On the day before heading to Taipei, we had our breakfast in Le Parker Hotel where we stayed in Taichung.
The breakfast was really good!
Everyday they have different set meal for us to try.


Our Hearty breakfast! Yums~


Congee.


Some breakfast meal with bread, ham and omelette.


Chicken burger.
Missing the good food in Taiwan now! Argh! Then, we headed to Taipei taking the HSR

Taichung Station


My sis: "Awww, we are leaving Taichung..."


My sis: "But yay! We are heading to Taipei!"

When we reached Taipei, the weather is about 21 Degree Celsius!
I was quite shocked because we didn't really bring any thick jacket.
It was raining at that point of time and we were shivering in coldness.

We headed to our hotel at Ximending.
Stayed at Hansome Hotel or Han She Business Hotel (函舍商務旅店), whatever you call it.







The hotel is not that difficult to find.
It is located at Ximen Station, then you exit No.1.
Cross the road and walk straight down and you will saw the sign to the hotel.

Since we didn't buy the breakfast voucher from the hotel.
We had our everyday breakfast at this cafe just outside our hotel.
Its call Taipei Milk King (台北牛乳大王).
The food is decent.
I had my first curry baked rice here and it taste good.


Curry chicken with vegetable rice.


Curry Baked Rice.


French Toast.

Ding Tai Fung at Taipei 101


The Icon for Ding Tai Fung in Taipei. Cute!

Shilin Night Market 士林夜市
This year I came to a different Shiling Night Market (士林夜市) because they moved from their old place to a new building.
I still prefer the old place though. Not so crowded like the current one.


Yup, so this is the new building.
B1 where all the food stores located at.


There's also some stores at the 1st floor and outside the building.


* Random inserting this pic of us while waiting for mum to buy the food. *


A new store which sells fried milk (炸鲜奶).
Curious of how it taste like, I bought a stick to try.


It taste like milk. Haha..
The milk will melts inside your mouth.
Something new.


Food menu.
The numbers there are the prices all in NTD.


Chicken rice. (鸡肉饭)


Oyster Vermicelli (蚵仔米粉)


Fishball Soup. (贡丸汤)
Its weird how the Taiwanese call their fishball as 贡丸.
Unlike us, we called fishball as 鱼圆.


Oyster Omelet (蚵仔煎)

One of the favourite steamboat at Ximending.
The restaurant we went is called Ma La Steamboat (马辣火锅)





Saw a crowded and wondering what's the old man was doing.





He's actually cutting the side view of the face shaped and looks very real.
I find it damn cool but there were too many people wanting to do it so we didn't do it.


Ending this post with a pretty pic of the Taipei 101.
My first time looking at it during the night. :)

HELLO OCTOBER!


1st selca for the month of October.

So October just started 3 days ago!
I am anticipating this month because this month is gonna be full of joy!
Yes, besides the monthly meet up with my girlies and guys, I am also heading to Legoland, and then for a week getaway at Bangkok!
Oh ya and maybe Halloween at USS. ^-^
Great great month that I can't wait for these to come!

Now, I gotta start my itinerary for BKK.
I've been too lazy~
Where's my enthusiasm in doing itinerary for trips goes to?!

Aside from those trips, my TP is this month too!
Oh gosh! Nervous when I'm thinking about it.
I am doubling my circuit lesson for this month to train more on my parking.
I was too used to parking with poles as guide.
Now without poles, its like more difficult for me. D;
Just hope to get this done with it and I can use my money more other stuff.
I had enough of failure when I learn the manual car. =/
So good luck to me!

Hope your october is great as well!
2 months more before 2012 end!
Those who still haven started your 2012 resolution better do something about it! LOL!
Those who already done, you can start planning for 2013! Hahahaha..
Bye!

Taichi 0《太极之从零开始》Gala Premiere



I attended the Taichi 0 《太极一之从零开始》Gala Premiere which was held at Golden Village Vivocity on Monday.
The special cast appearance that day were Stephen Fung (冯德伦), Tony Leung Ka Fai (梁家辉) and Yuan Xiaochao (袁晓超).
I was excited to see Stephen Fung because he was one of my favourite actor when I was young.
He is really handsome. :D

The Red Carpet




Asked the BF along to watch the movie with me.
As I got a pair of the movie ticket.

Before the special cast appearance, there's also Wushu performance.
The performers are as young as 5 year old only!
I am really impressed with their Wushu skills!





One of the wushu boy posing.
Anyway, pardon me for bad photo quality because I didn't bring my camera out and I am using my iPhone camera. D;

And finally, those who anticipate for the casts appeared!
I keep saying "冯德伦好帥!", I bet those girls there do agree with me! :D





Taichi 0 Movie Review

 

TaiChi 0 《太极一之从零开始》movie is directed by director Stephen Fung and the main casts are Angelababy, Tony Leung and Yuan Xiaochao.
This movie really entertaining as the movie infuses comedy with action.
I find it worth the ticket price to go watch it!

Tachi 0 will be out in theatre on 4 October 2012.
While the sequel TaiChi Hero 《太极二之英雄崛起》will be out 3 weeks later on 25 October 2012!
Normally, we need to wait for at least a year for the sequel to be out but this, we only need to wait less than a month! Wow point!
So be sure to go catch it!
