good morning from Orchard Park Hotel.
view of the dining place from the corridor of our level.
breakfast buffet at the hotel.
getting to our places.
a genuine yawn from little raphael.
tt was how early we woke up. haha.
the buffet line.
clinging onto popo early in the morning.
toasting bread :D
breakfast time!
made our way to 4yi's rooms coz they were given rooms at different levels from us.
zomg, jap style!
way way bigger than ours!
set, tonight we'll have supper at her room! haha.
back to our rooms to prepare and leave to shop!
anw, this hotel uh, totally seriously cmi.
the name and dining area looks not bad, but the service is seriously bad.
upon reaching the hotel last night, it was so cold and all of us quickly walked into the hotel after alighting from the coach bus, to get some warmth.
but whuuuut~, the hotel staff who were unloading our luggages actually shouted for us to bring our luggages in on our own!
where is the bell boy!?
and they claim that they do not have the trolley for the luggages and we were to drag our individual luggages up to the hotel rooms on our own.
however, the next morning, we spotted the trolley for luggages at the side of the hotel entrance.
so, tt explains.
they're just purely LAZY.
oh yes, and the hotel staff even scolded our coach bus driver to give them a hand by unloading the luggages from the coach.
oh please, it's not even part of his job to unload the luggage!
when we reach a hotel, the hotel staff are expected to do it! tsk. pui those hotel staff.
if we had known and werent in need to get a hotel tt is close to the airport so we need not wake up so early and still reach the airport on time for departure, we wont even choose this hotel!
well well, so back to the day's activities.
after breakfast, the bus driver and wawa were really nice and agreed to drive us to the very first hotel tt we stayed in, to collect grandpa's jacket.
while waiting for everyone to gather.
pretty ceiling + red carpet at the entrance.
not surprising, xmas tree again!
oh, and we spotted a wedding couple!
aww~ so sweet!
the wedding cars.
dont wanna waste any time, so took some pics w the displays at the lobby!
yes, these were at the lobby.
boarded the bus soon after.
we were given a big box of cherry tomatoes.
forgot who gave it to us, but zomg.
i was like the only one eating coz no-one else likes them!
other than bringing us back to the previous hotel to collect grandpa's jacket...
the coach bus also waited for us while we went to get some pineapple cakes to buy back to sg. heh.
the pineapple cakes!
renowned ones!
lucky, if you get to try them!
da bao xiao bao :D
weather was really really cold!
esp when the wind blows! hehe but on the bright side, it's quite awesome to not perspire for so long!
hahaha, we can walk for the whole day in that nice cooling weather and not perspire, so shiok!
the bus driver then drove us to 'Mei Mei Pi Bao' shop to visit uncle cw's friend again.
their dog.
not really cute and not friendly.
so black.
camouflage with the belts behind it.
3yi got a bag from them.
walked over to the shoe shop and got some shoes.
it'd be more awesome if the lady boss was at the shop!
dislike one of the staff's attitude!
seems to be the supervisor, but he's attitude is so bad.
so unwilling! tsk, pui him!
meanwhile, gonggong went to get some popcorns from this shop.
really yummy ones!
went back to buy more aft trying one tub!
all the kids love it!
weather got cooler.
even much more so when the wind continues to blow and blow and blow~
stopped by a waffles shop coz it smelled too nice!
my cheese flavored waffle :D
walking down the street to get lunch.
settled for lunch here!
see, the shop so small.
all of us went in and all the tables are occupied alr. lol.
only seeing the other guests just coming in to dabao. hahaha.
four of us(meimei, nicololo, raphael and I), one table.
cheerful raphael.
angsty kylie when nicololo told her she cant sit with us coz the table's full.
lol, her expression was so TRUE! hahaha!
pics of the rest while waiting for food to be served!
the board at the back is the menu.
and 4yi was so funny.
she actually read it horizontally and found it weird coz they had such weird names on their menu!
lol, but it turned out tt we should read vertically! not horizontally!
zomg, it was damn funny at tt point of time! hahaha!
meimei with her claypot rice :D
mine was noodles, not very nice.
this one has a special unique name to it, but i forgot!
damn.
nicololo's curry rice to be shared with raphael.
you can see how much she likes glass-bottled soft drinks!
walked down the streets for more shopping.
raphel.la fa er.
settled for coffee at this cafe.
really cold wind and reymus decided to brave it by removing his jacket and standing in the direction of the wind!
little raphael decided to join in!
next stop --- Shilin Night Market.
couldnt find the Shilin XXL Chicken, so we settled for this.
queue was really long too!
walked another part of Shilin this time, or rather, the new area coz they shifted.
more street food!
Xiang Chang.
next stall!
fried potato chips on stick!
the twirly kind.
they like!
and the next stall!
Da Bing Bao Xiao Bing!
lol, we stopped at almost every stall tt has food!
i'm the only one who like this!
haha, tasted like popiah wrap with some other sweet and crunchy biscuits/cereals.
the others found it alittle blend, but i liked it!
next stall.
got some fried fish cake.
very yummy with the sauce they drizzled on!
got some food after shopping and gathered at 4yi's room to take our dinner tgt coz her room is bigger than the rest of us!
spotted this across the street.
heard from the tour guide tt it's famous here, so we dabao-ed some back to give it a try!
the very friendly boss who lets us snap more pics of his stall. haha.
last day at Taiwan, so we decided to hurry use up the coins by buying bubbletea!
while waiting for our coach bus to come pick us up!
very cold!
and so, the coach bus brought us back to our hotel.
if you havent seen how our room looks like.
please do, now.
yea, just 2 beds and the teevee mounted on the wall.
comparing it with 4yi's, it's totally different!
so all of us gathered in her room for dinner/supper!
the table-full of food!
watching the video in the day as we eat.
popo, sitting by the side, enjoying her beer and food :D
smiles :)))))
i turned my head around and spotted ryan lying at the corner of the room, looking so comfortable!
HAHAHA!
quite funny, so i took a pic of him on secret! LOL.
i guess, he was really full. hahaha.
cheerful nicololo :D
ahhh, checking out tmr alr!
packing our stuff into our luggages!
