Taiwan Trip Dec 6-14 Day 7 - 天母 / Lunch at Beitou
Took MRT to 石牌． Analysed the map at the station wrongly and waited so long for the bus which did not stop. Later realised the opposite bus stop was the correct one. Once out of the station, the bus stop is on your right. We went to the bus stop on the left. Also realised that you need to look at the arrow heads on the bus route of each bus number.
Took bus to 天母 Banana Jeans. The bus stopped right in front of the shop but it did not have the stuff we wanted so we took the bus back to Shipa and went to Beitou Station.
Beitou MRT - the xin beitou train is very nicely decorated externally and internally with theme of hot spring.
新北投 station
Xin Beitou - We walked straight all the way to 溫泉路 to try the 滿來溫泉拉麵, recommended by 食尚玩家. In the oool weather, it was a very pleasant walk.
Addrress:
滿來溫泉拉麵
新北投溫泉路110號
02-28937958
星期一休
Waited for half an hour for our turn. Some people behind us were turned away as the shop will close from 3pm.
Side dishes - Small fishes/nuts and kimchi - we love the small fishes!
Green Vegetables
Porkchop ramen
Porkchop
Seafood ramen - very big bowl
O What a feast! Ordered 3 sets of pork chop ramen and 2 fishfood ramen - it was too much! Cost about ~NT1200. Quite nice, quite different from the usual ramen. This one has more ingredients.
The crowd is gone!
Nice stream and very pleasant walk. There are people soaking their legs in the stream.
Many hot spring hotels here - next time we will try
Wooden library in Beitou - very interesting architect.

Jiayi/Taipei/XMD/Tianmu/Shilin NM
Had good buffet breakfast at hotel before checking out. The variety was widespread and it was tasty. With a full tummy, Went to buy 新生早餐 (recommended by bloggers) near hotel. 峰炸豬排蛋餅 was very yummy。鏝頭燒 so so only.
Outer Packaging

From station to Pretty colourful road - 西寧南路 on the way to 王記府城肉粽
王記府城肉粽 - Thumbs up! Nice!
On the way to Ah Zhong Mian xian
Ah Chong mian xian shop front and the mian xian - a little over rated!
Looks like a walking street but watch out for vehicles and motorbikes!
Desert at 三兄妹 - Ice Red Bean - OK
On the way to Toilet Restaurant
Toilet Restaurant
Our Toilet Ice cream - so so only
Outside Toilet Restaurant
Next, visted Tianmu. It was raining. Bus 220's final stop is not Tianmu - it is now extended beyond Tianmu. Luckily I checked the route before leaving for Taipei. Bought 2 Ralph Lauren polo-T, 1 Nautica polo T and 1 Timberland business shirt for S$95 total. Good buy. However, only 1 shop - Banana Jeans & Co. had these brands. Only took 1 photo of Tianmu
Next, Shilin NM- The chicken chop 豪大大雞排 - cheap and nice at only NT50 and wanton are nice.
Tried the coffin bread -so so
Ai Yu desert
Forgot to try the 大腸包小腸
Competition pretty stiff at Shilin NM. End of Day3
