hello! back from taipei and it was awesome. had lots of xiaolongbao, fried chicken, massages, sleep and shopping!!
heads up gals,the skincare is much cheaper there! and they have crazycutelovely japanese cosmetics like tiffa, lavshuca etc everywhere! loves!! my best buy was a bottle of pearl shimmer kanebo tiffa spf50 for only NT250! ( = $10+ sgd) . it makes the skin really smooth and luminous. ah! i wanna shoot myself in the head for buying only ONE bottle!!
the magnificent xiaolongbaos at dintaifung were SO delicious; totally different from the ones back here! and the tofu pudding and bubble tea- YUMYUMYUM.
we also had 2 nights of very expensive dinners! one was at
shanghai story (chinese food) and the other was at
mitsui ( japanese food). i didnt really appreciate the chinese food, but the japanese food was so intricately delicious! we had 2 really HUGE hokkaido crabs and an array of other yummies. think we had like 10 courses in all. the bill for each night came up to $600-700 SGD per person. gosh am i glad we were not the ones picking up the tab!! thanks to the good people at osstem!!! =)))
i saw cutecutecute puppies at the shilin night market. they were so heartwarmingly cute i wanted to ship a few toy poodles and malteses back!!! we also went to the aqua pet fair at 101 and we got to see sooo many dogs! I WANT ANOTHER PUPPY PLEASE!!!!
and..taiwanese gals are a major thinspiration!!! gawd!!! how do they stay so thin despite being surrounded by SO much good food??? tis amazing. 90% of the taiwanese gals i saw weigh less than 45kgs and 100% had eyelash extensions!! no eyelash extensions for me, but less than 45kgs is a pretty good goal. ganbatte!! i was eyeing this particular gal in din tai fung and she ate a grand total of 2 dumplings and half a plate of spinach! gosh, no wonder she looks the way she does! (for the record i ate 8 dumplings!!!! and alot more other things!)
and oh i wanna improve on my mandarin now cuz no one understands my mandarin, and i don't understand theirs either!!!
