Modern toilet restaurant, one of the few bizarre themed restaurant in the country, i had to check it out since it is so famous in the internet.

There was a minimum charge of 80TWD per guest, which you can get a serve of vanilla ice-cream





Hot pot in a toilet bowl,,,hmmm..

Mozzarella stick in bidet




It might sound gross to incorporate toilet themed restaurant and the food was a lil pricy, once was enough, it was a good experience.

仕林夜市 Shilin night market was so crowded on a Sunday night.

Not sure what to drink? No problem! here's the menu take your time, plenty to choose from.


Grilled mushroom with a selection of sauce to go with


Very fresh and juicy mushrooms. I chose only salt and pepper, wanted to taste its natural flavors.


This night market is packed~! don't go there on weekends, its at crawling level on weekends.


So back in Taipei main station we saw people queuing to get something, obviously with a queue that long, its gotta be something awesome, of course we were curious to check it out ourselves. Turns out to be a famous Japanese franchise cheese cake, one store one item, nothing else.

12 cakes baked fresh every 15 minutes. Only one purchase per person, that's what building the line. 18cm diameter cheese cake for 20ringgit, why not give it a shot.



hmmm.....


... so the cake was light and airy, could hear micro bubbles burst while slicing into it, cheese was perfect, mild and eggy. If your a diehard fan of cheese cake, go queue up its definitely worth waiting for it;)
