Taiwan - Day 6 (Taoyuan)

-

Our stay at Song He Motel includes breakfast for 2 person. Breakfast starts from 7am to 9.30am and it's a simple porridge breakfast. There's only five types of condiments - tofu, fermented bean curd, roasted salted peanuts, fried bean sticks and meat floss. You may request for toasted bread, coffee or tea as well. I like their meat floss and salted peanuts. I used to eat pork floss topping on steamed white rice when I was young. Meat floss pairs so well with porridge and both of us enjoy our simple breakfast. However, porridge is cold. It would be good if they served us hot porridge.

Alan came and fetch us at 10am. Together with Jon we went and visit Uncle Xie in Taoyuan. Uncle Xie and wife brought us for buffet lunch at Eatogether Taoyuan Shin Kong Branch. There's variety of food to choose from. There's Chinese cuisine, Japanese cuisine and Western cuisine. They even serve Haagen Daz ice cream, nama chocolate, cocktails and beer. Prawns are fresh and I just love the desserts. We had a fabulous lunch thanks to Uncle Xie and wife. I wish I can try all the ice creams and desserts but there's just not enough room in my stomach to fit in all.

Uncle Xie brought us for dinner at this restaurant "十里香私房料理餐厅". There's only six of us but Uncle Xie ordered 10 dishes! My favourite dish of the night is the steamed fish and stir fried beef. Apart from that, I like their prawns which are very fresh and sweet. Same goes for the clam soup. Clam is big and fresh. I don't really enjoy the braised pork belly but I just love the Chinese steamed bun as it's soft and fluffy. Stir fried vegetables is good too. It's crispy and succulent. However, mapo tofu is a bit too spicy for all of us. Pork with Chinese wine and goji berry soup has a strong wine taste. Overall we enjoy our dinner very much.

Note: NT$ 1 = RM 0.14

Guangzhou/Shenzhen - Day 4/Day 1 (Luohu Commercial City - Dongmen Pedestrian Street - Sun Plaza)

-
Image
We had planned to check out of the hotel at 12pm and board a train to Dongguan at 1pm to meet with one of Ben's potential supplier. However, the plan was cancelled as the supplier was unable to make it and Ben only notified us after we checked out of the hotel at 12pm. In the end, we did nothing for a half day in Guangzhou and missed the opportunity to see his supplier in Dongguan. Our initial plan was to meet with his supplier in Dongguan and then take the train to Shenzhen. Since the plan didn't work out, we purchased a last-minute ticket from  Guangzhou East Railway Station to Shenzhen Station (Price - RM 65.74 per person for first-class seat). We had our lunch together with Ben at  Chuangshan Restaurant, which is located opposite  Guangzhou East Railway Station . I had goose with roasted pork, while my partner had chicken with BBQ pork. Roasted pork is tasty and goose is flavourful but has rubbery skin. Ben's friend joined us for lunch as well. However, we have to lea...
