I love holidays - Day 42 - June 16, 2010

Mosquito Bites of the Day: 2
Total: 19

Freaking mosquito bit me on the hand and pinky!

Dragon Boat Festival

Today is actually a national holiday, the dragon boat festival. A lot of people get off from work, including the place I work in. That means I get to sleep in ^_^ The original plan was actually to wake up and go to the festival or to the zoo. But both of those didn't happen. Ended up snoozing, sleeping in, and waking up at 3:30pm. It's so bad!

Shida Night Market



Instead, I ran five laps on Shida's track. So that could be 1.25 miles. I'm gradually improving =) After that was dinner at the hand shaved noodle shop. On the way there, I took some pictures. The first picture shows the area artists usually come by and perform their music. Last year I saw a girl singing her songs and trying to sell her albums. Today was a man playing his violin. The second picture is just part of Shida Night Market.

Dinner at Hand Carved Noodle Shop



You get this view on the second floor of the restaurant. The second picture shows my one of my favorite restaurants. The yummy chicken restaurant ^_^ You can also see how crowded night markets get. It's a pain to walk through the crowds, especially because people walk soooooo sloooooowwwwwwww. You have to try to weave your way through if you want to go faster.

Let's start with small side dishes.

This is free pickled vegetable you can grab.


Pickled cabbage for 30NT=$0.93


Pickled cucumbers for 30NT=$0.93


Fried rice for 80NT=$2.48. It was good, but it needed more flavor. I mixed the sauce of the stir fried noodles into the fried rice. That made it good =)


A big plate of the stir fried hand shaved noodles is 90NT=$2.79. Theresa dugged in already so I didn't take a picture of the plate. But I ordered this before and it is good!


Each little cake thing is 10NT=$0.31. The first one has pieces of mango around the cake part and the other is strawberry. They both have cream inside. It's good!

Craving for Fried Rice - Day 33 - June 07, 2010

What do I when I crave food?



I go out and buy that food to fulfill my craving! That's what I did when I went to Shilin Night Market =D When I was browsing for food at the Shilin Market with Theresa last week, I saw a lot of stands that offered fried rice and wondered if it would taste good since I never had fried rice in Taiwan.

The restaurant stand that I ate at.


They provide a seating area.


My fried rice for 90NT=$2.81! It didn't fill me up all the way but it was mighty tasty =)


Fail #21

190NT=$5.95


I always wanted a stripe top like this, either gray and black or white and black. Well i thought this top was loose enough because that's the way I wanted. Unfortunately it's not as loose as the way I like it =( FAIL. But it still looks pretty good... ish... I'll make it work somehow!

Other things that I bought

Skinny jeans for 390NT=$12.21


All the bangles for 100NT=$3.13 =D


350NT=$10.95
