Day 3 in Taiwan had us waking up early and queuing at 阜杭豆漿!
It was highly recommended when I did my research on places to eat in Taiwan and therefore we couldn't miss it.
The queue was super long even though we reached quite early at about 8plus!
Took a video to prove my point lol. It stretched all the way to Level 2 where the eatery is!
Being filial daughters, we queued while our mums sat at the seats available at the side. :D
Morning bloatedness and beady eyes. OTL
I saw a few Singaporeans along the way but most of the people who queued were Taiwaneses. It must be really worth the hype uh!
When we entered the place, at the side, there was this glass panel and we could see the kitchen.
Like similar cooking style to naan?
My advice is to get someone to queue and another to find seats while you are about to reach. This place is really packed.
We queued for like 1 and a half hour. :O
It's like any savoury 燒餅 you were expecting. Served hot so they were good. Doesn't look like it but they were really filling.
鹹豆漿 (NT$30)
This was one of their specialties, 豆浆 in the savoury version! Tasted like chawanmushi, I like! Best to eat when it's hot. :)

熱豆漿 (NT$25)
Their soya milk was rich in flavour and really warms the stomach!
Overall, I felt that the food was pretty decent but I don't think it's worth queuing 1 and a half hour for! I am unsure if it is because that day was a New Year's Eve which contributed to the super long queue but from what I recall reading from others' entries, they do have queues generally so come early! :)

We had this huge and awesome bowl of snow ice dessert w fruits! Super filling for 4 of us and they were really generous w the fruits. It was so good and the fruits were really sweet and fresh. We had it again the next day even though it was really cold.

Nearest Station: 東門, Dongmen Station, Line 2 (Red Line)
Go out from Exit 5, head straight and turn right into 永康街 and walk a bit more. The place will be on your right.
Spend a while at this place too. A pity I wasn't into skincare products then or I am sure I would have gotten a lot of anti-aging stuff haha.
We spent the rest of the afternoon at 東區 (if I recall correctly) and then headed to 師大夜市 which is known to have more affordable stuff to shop since it was near National Taiwan Normal University (台湾师范大学), where prices were catered to the students.

Chanced upon this place selling steaming hot buns and we had to get 1 each for ourselves. Bought two big buns to share which were not bad!
We thought that it would be obvious that we are at 師大夜市 like it's a specific place just like 士林市场 but we were wrong. We asked so many people for the directions and many didn't know! Some told us wherever we stood was 師大夜市 already!
That was really unexpected. I really expected some signs or something hahaha.
We walked awhile more and stumbled upon such junctions. I guess we really are at 師大夜市already hahaha. There weren't much to shop at there since it was considered "winter" season and most of the clothes were long sleeves which are not suitable for Singapore's weather. D:
Managed to get some safety shorts and socks at a cheap price though!

Spotted this 燈籠滷味 stall and there were quite a number of people there and thus we decided to have it for dinner.
Chose many items to share w the LMZ including stuff I don't eat/never eat before like eg. 大肠 and 猪血. It was a little like kwap chye kind of feel to me w all the innards? Also added normal stuff like 豆干 and 豆腐皮... and 王子面. Omy I love 王子面, it's so springy and nice!
Okay, I also tried 大肠 after the last time I had it (which was a bad experience) and surprisingly I could swallow it and it tasted pleasant! Also, 猪血 is quite nice?? Like salty and doesn't have a strong Iron taste unlike liver. I love it. I can't believe I actually tried 2 stuff which I usually will just be disgusted at. This time I just 豁出去了. Hahaha.
Oh, and I remembered vividly after ordering this, when we settled down, I had this really bad tummyache where it sent cold chills down the spine and it was on the edge (lol tmi) and I had to rush to a nearby restaurant's toilet. #justsaying Lucky the toilet had toilet paper! There were no lights in the toilet lor, but no choice, it was really urgent lol.
I really like the food here even though it wasn't something I'd eat back in Singapore (innards are still disgusting to me plus 猪血 is banned in SG).

Slowly the crowd started to build up! Some even brought their rice cooker etc and set up their dinner there. (Y)
The night was getting deeper and it got colder as well. So glad we got 暖暖包 from 7-11 earlier on. You just shake it and it will heat up and keep you warm. The wind was quite strong and breathing through the nose kinda hurt after that so we were all in masks or had scarves wrapped around our faces.
Plus eagering waiting for fireworks display! :)
So pretty! Stood up capturing this and ended up sitting down because my arms got sore. At one period in the video, I even asked my LMZ to support my arm hahaha.
Braving the cold was worth it! It was such a pretty sight. *.*
I cant never get sick of watching fireworks because no firework is the same!!
One of the items on my bucket list is to watch fireworks in Yokohama, Japan during their Fireworks Festivals. Their fireworks are out of the world!!
