While most the group members went hiking, I decided to catch up with Cindy, one of the Taiwanese girls who had previously came to USC for the exchange program. We left for breakfast at 8:30am in order to go to this famous Taiwanese style breakfast place near Shandao Temple.
Long Line to get in!! Waited almost 30 minutes!
mmm!!! Best breakfast ever! Dou Jiang, sao bing you tiao, hou bing with egg!!
The breakfast was so much better than Young He Dou Jiang!!!

For lunch, we tried out a Japanese style, udon noodle place near Howard Hotel!! The place was called Dosan Kanroku Sanuki Udon! This noodle place is also very famous because the owner came from Japan and still practices the art of handmade udon noodles!!! The noodles were very QQ (Taiwanese slang for chewy) and the side agedashi tofu that we ordered was very flavorful and silky!!!

What I ordered: Cold udon noodles with cod roe, Parmesan cheese, crumbled fish cake (i think), raw egg, and scallions. Sounds unappetizing.. but it was really good!!!
Mix it all up!!
Cindy ordered a shrimp tempura + fish cake hot udon noodle soup!! So good!
When we headed back to the hotel, it was starting to get a bit gloomy outside. It looks like I was about to experience my first rain in Taiwan!!!! (Well at least for this trip!) Braving the weather, a group of us decided to hit the Jade Market to buy some goodies!! While I didn't get anything, it was really interesting to see all the jade items being sold there! It made me wonder how much of the merchandise was "real" jade!!!
After the jade market, we went to karaoke at Party World near Zhongxiao Fuxing!!! Ahh so much fun! It is surprising to find a culture so in love with karaoke! The food was great the karaoke place too! Those chicken wings... drool!! Such a fun way to celebrate the end of a long week with my fellow friends!
