[2013TW] Day 05: Starting to forget what day it is - Wu Fen Pu Cloth shopping

  Ok. I think I always write my journal right next day, I am starting to forget what day it is now...

  Yesterday, we had lunch at 東引 which we had bought all our noodles from since we were little. Apparently, this stand has become really famous recently, it's even got a spot on Google map:

It's the best noodle store I've known since birth, so I'd say, it's really good lol.

牛油乾麵 beef oil dry noodles
陽春麵 "Yan Chun Noodles" original bland noodles

小菜 side dish: 海帶 (seawead),豆干(beancurd), 豆腐(tofu)
  After lunch, we went to 五分埔 "wu fen pu" which is like the best place to shop for cloths. From the intersection between Song Shang Road (松山路) & Yong Ji Road (永吉路) go into the small alleys, you will see a whole bunch of shops that are selling cloths. This is the place where almost all market cloths sellers buy their cloths from (these are the wholesalers that also do retails). We only buy super cheap ($100NT = $3.33CAD) cloths. We walked through many streets like these:

We were so tired, and we had to give up after only 1/2 and went home. On the way, we finally went to bought 鍋貼 (pot stickers) & 水煎包("Sheui jian bao")=lightly fried chinese bun with cabbage and meat -  that I've been craving since we landed. They only come and sell this between 3-7 pm Monday to Friday, so it is hard for us to buy it. Lots of people were lining up to buy from the stand. Everything's worth it for these delicious pot stickers:

  It's again, in the market near my house- I just figured out the address:南京東路五段 291 巷 Lane 291, Section 5, Nánjīng East Rd, Songshan District Taipei City, Taiwan 105

  My sister also bought Taiwanese meatballs from
She said it tasted great with lots of fillings :).

  After dinner, we started watching TV, and I am starting to get into hardcore-couch potato mode... I watched TV straight through to 11 pm LOL...

  My mom keeps telling us to go on a TV program called University (大學生了沒)... I have no confidence in my look- but maybe the fact that we study in Vancouver makes us more special (?!). I don't know~~.
