Day 2 - Hualian, Taroko Gorge, Part 3

Lunch Time!!

Mr Chen brought us to this old school restaurant for lunch

Back to the 70's

Its famous for...

Kampong Chicken

Slighty more chewy but delicious still...

We tried an interesting fish as well

Man Po fish

that tastes like scallops!

Next Stop, 3 km stroll at Shakadang

Shakadang Entrance

Looks suicidal to me

Clear blue waters

Day 2 - Taipei to Hualian, Taroko Gorge, Part 1

After waking up in our home stay in Zhongxiao Fuxing, we headed over to Taipei Main Station for a quick fix of breakfast and coffee from 7-11.

FYI, Daybreak is at 5 plus and breakfast opens pretty late..

Mascot

 The platform for the train.. NOT MRT or Highspeed rail.. Just Train

Tickets to Hua Lien

Upon reaching HuaLien after 2.5 hours,

We met up with our driver, Mr Chen

And he treated us to a local delight.

Orh Han Zi aka Roasted Sweet Potato

Superbly Sweet, Sticky and Purplish

And we passed by the infamous Bin Lang shops

Mr Chen explained shops with 3 coloured lightings are those scandily clad woman

while single lighting means for those normal shops

This is what they look like, but those sold are usually smaller

Next we head off to Taroko Gorge

Mr Chen asked us to jump in air with Ivy giving minimal effort

Entrance of the Gorge

Stone Guard

Taiwan Day 1

Basically Day 1 was rather uneventful,

Reason being,

Our flight is in the afternoon and when we reached,

It was already 7 plus,

Hence,

Not much you can do less for dinner.

So its Food, Food, Food!

The Golfball

Our Maki Lunch with cute little fish soya sauce container

Dinner at a Yunnan Restaurant,

Their version of "thick beehoon" soup

The serving was humongous

And the subject of this pic is the Pig Blood!

Herbal chicken to warm up our chilled bodies,

Not very effective nor delicious

"Yuan Yang" and Pu 'Er Tea with milk.. Damn Good..

PS: All pics taken with mobile
