both me n waifu been craving hard for some good chinese meal..while taking a short weekend to visit MY would never be enough, we set our eyes on Taiwan.

it's very convenient as the local airport (Komatsu) 20 min away has direct flight to Taipei, and best part of the airport is free parking (for like ~2+ weeks) when taking international flight

quickly put together a 3 days 3 night trip, only need take one day leave.

Komatsu airport


Very nice stained glass at the departure area


short and smooth 3 hours flight, imigration suck ass, very long queue..
both unlucky, didn't get anything from the lucky draw


Airport express straight to Taipei main to check in and drop off the luggage first before first round of dinner.
Transport fare are pretty cheap, but got too used to JP's JR gate speed, felt the fare gate was pretty slow.

Nice Taipei main station


Walked over to the nearest night market, Ningxia Night Market 寧夏夜市




since no particular plan of what to eat, so simply walk one round and decided on braised meat rice. seems pretty popular store, no place to sit and many ppl queue but not sure why the auntie just let me and my wife sit in front of the shop, skip queue and order makan


ordered vege n a bowl of braised meat rice. holy fuk..one spoon already worth the trip, super nice gelatinous fat sticking all over that smacking lip, ichiban!
and so damn cheap, 40 NTD only


next meal, wanted to try taiwan fried bee hoon


40 NTD also, cheap af but i prefer MY "economy" bee hoon better


also, I never been to a hotter city than Taipei, even at night, it's so fking hot

Tbh, I find Taiwan like going back to Penang, except the food sucks… only boba tea & minced pork rice nice IMO
