And omg I'm already going for my 2016 HK trip soon HAHA.
This time it's with jh and pearlyn, our first trip tgt - #saibeanpok :D
Last day in Taipei is nua day, basically eating everything we can before flying LOL.
Actually planned to do some last minute shopping but our luggages were packed and super to the brim alr.
Went for brunch at The Pasta Bar - smth we've seen and been wanting to try!
Unfortunately I think it was a lackluster last meal in Taipei la.
The Pasta Bar
義大利麵的達人
No. 59, Section 2, Wuchang St, Wanhua District
Their combo meals complete your tummy.
I ordered Mentaiko Pasta - and I was expecting the usual creamy kind.
What I received was the complete opposite.
It was a refreshing, zesty type of cold pasta, and I would say that it was pretty nice !
Just not what I was craving hahah.
Tomato Vegetable soup, which is Minestrone with the funny barley and beans,
and Corn Seafood Soup - which I promise is covered like this in black pepper, only cause Bimb spammed it.
Bimb's Tomato with Mushroom
Creamy tomato sauce looks awesome.
Levon's Butter Bacon Chicken
BACON.
Yup, we tabao-ed ah zong mee sua to the airport LOLOL.
Our love is that strong.
Levon also! She brought out her tupperware to tabao her beef noodles hahah.
Oh ya notice the Ajitsuke Tamago? Yup its legit.
Levon has an obsession for egg butts, thanks to gudetama.
Our initial plan was to make our way to the airport via public transport.
But when I saw the way Levon was struggling with her ginormous luggage.and the mere thought of the super packed Taipei Main Station..
I was suddenly on the hunt for the nearest taxi driver :B
Which actually gave us additional time to burn at the airport LOL.
Von wanted to kill me, but I'd rather not get murdered by my heavy luggage :x
Day 10 selfie!
I originally planned to buy two bottles just for the packaging, because jh will love shit like this.
So of course buy on the last day, and keep in my hand carry la.
I didn't expect to love the contents omg.
Regret nao rawr.
Checked in ASAP because we wanted to see the Hello Kitty themed boarding area!
Bimb was so excited and kept niam-ing about taking EVA Air next time. Hahah.
Unexpectedly I also went gaga for Pompompurin at the Sanrio store.
It's not that popular in Singapore, and I loved it when I was young. Teehee.
Bought this tumbler ! :D
Best non-edible buy from Taiwan.
It was an awesome trip (as usual), with all the jiao whey, selfies, and bouts of gluttonness.
And the local production videos LOLOL.
Of course there were times where we disagreed with each other.
We're not perfect but we can accept each other's suay kuan perfectly.
That's why we're bffs what. :D
Okay maybe Bimb still knows how to deal with my moody attitude best HAHAH.
I'm just the kind, who will rather keep it all inside and brood and try to suppress and ignore,
until I just can't anymore.
Then I'll need a listening ear, OR I'll make sure you know why I'm being pissed. Heh.
Oh yes, and my rant about the freaking Hotel Midtown Richardson:
Hotel is clean, beautiful.
Staff appeared friendly, but had lousy PR skills and no idea how to follow up cases.
Absolutely horrible.
They demanded that we pay laundry fee to clean their bath towels due to some hair dye stains,
EVEN before trying to clean it off themselves - wow, towels that cannot be dirty after use,
I wonder if they're human at all.
When we told them there was no issue with the previous hotels we stayed in, guess their response?
"Oh they dont even try to wash, they will just throw away the towels.
We use good quality towels so we can't throw them away.
Anyway you cannot compare our hotels to others, we are different"
WTF they think they're some kind of premier world class grade hotel? What nonsense
After we requested them to try cleaning it first,
they actually told us to follow them to WATCH THEM TRY TO WASH.
Definitely didn't fly to Taipei just to watch staff wash laundry -.-
And after they 'tried', the stains were still there and they told us if we could wash it off,
they would waive the laundry charges.
GUESS WHAT, WE WASHED IT WITH NORMAL SOAP AND OFF THE STAINS WENT.
I guess they were using top grade towels but not top grade washing agents. -.-
After we returned the clean towels, we thought everything was settled.
Says who? Upon checkout the dumbass reception tried to charge us the laundry fee,
showing that they are inept when it comes to passing messages after their shift and following up on cases.
Oh and on one of the nights, I discovered that one of their freshly issued towels were stained,
which of course earned them a complaint from me.
Good quality towels my foot.
Last but not least, their toilets choked every night - seems like you can't even take a good quality poop either.
Even the taxi driver we hired nearby the hotel told us he had many complaints from tourists.
He told us that the hotel has a service to help their guests to hire a cab, but for an expensive fee,
which they charge to both taxis and guests.
Just please, do not visit Hotel Midtown Richardson.
