Day 5 - Jiu fen (九 份) & Shilin night mkt

We took the train north to Ruifang Station and transferred to take Keelung Transit bus 825 (approx. 15 mins. bus ride) opposite the train station to Jiufen (九 份).

Jiu Fen (九 份) - The Historic Commercial District consists of a series of stores and restaurants running along Jishan and Shuchi Streets, which are built into the side of the coastal hills and considered a must-see site for visitors. The area is known for its collection of historic businesses, eateries, and teahouses, allowing visitors to relive the past while sampling local specialties and purchasing handicrafts and other knick-knacks.

Dad said they should have their lunch at this restaurant since I was sleeping. But once they sat in it, I woke up probably knowing food is coming! To mummy's surprise, this simple restaurant is highly recommended by many TV media & newspaper. And surprisingly, the "plain-looking" noodle tastes yummy! I ate almost all of it :)

This underpass to the right goes to Old Street and left to Jiu Fen. It pictures many historic photos before & after.

Interesting .... this man scrap from a block of nuts into fine pieces and put it into a "popiah" type of skin.

Dad had to "ergo" me as it is a narrow street.

One of their popular dessert - 宇 圆 (tastes more like red bean soup with ice).

A must-have to carry "snowy" everywhere even sleep with it :)

Today will be the last night at Taipei as we had to fly back to S'pore tomorrow. After rested at the hotel for a short while, we went to Shilin Night Market which is a must-see for tourists :)
Dad just "ergo" me -- another must-have for them to restrain me since I am quite active now and I am getting heavier :0(
