Taipei Day 6 | Rilakkuma Cafe

By -
Time is passing so fast! And today is our last day in Taipei! I don't wanna leave! Everything is so awesome here, the food, the people, the weather! The weather was getting warmer but still fine! Time to head to my favourite character, Rilakkuma Cafe!


We were early! The cafe only opens at 11.30am, but good time to take pictures!

Can't wait for the cafe to open!


The cafe finally opened its doors at 11.30am! Did I mention everyone and everything in Taiwan is so punctual!


With my favourite bear 🐻


And Pigg


Thank god we made reservations and we got the sofa seats even though there's only two of us! The cafe still remained popular as more people strolled in as time passes


The merchandise area of the cafe. Everything looks so cute! I wanna get them all, but it's not cheap so I didn't get anything in the end. Saving up for Japan so I could go for a haul at the rilakkuma store




The attractive window displays for the desserts!


Can I bring this one home?


See! How to resist!


How can people not come in and dine after seeing these good looking desserts?


In a dilemma on which one to order for dessert as everything looked totally cute and yummy!

 

🐻+🍰=😍


Our food came while we were busy exploring the cafe. My Japanese curry and pork cutlet rice. How can I BEAR to eat this?!


With Rilakkuma plush! Another perk of Pigg's birthday. As long as your birthday is within 7 days, one can get to enjoy 10% off desserts and eat with rilakkuma for 20mins! But end up nobody birthday, so we had the rilakkuma for our entire meal 😁


Pigg's lazy rilakkuma meatball and omurice. So cute too!


Sorry to cut off his head, cos the food more important 😂


Surprisingly, the food here not only looks good but tastes equally good too! There is also free serving of rice for those who thinks it's not enough. But we did not call for extra since we still have desserts. I love the pork cutlet the most! And Pigg kept eyeing on my cutlet, waiting for me to offer him a second piece and hoping that I could not finish 😂


Dessert time! My cheesecake!


And Pigg's soufflé which took longer to prepare


Admiring the cuteness of the dessert before officially digging in


Pigg too, but can tell he's like drooling and can't wait to dig in


A visit to the Beary cute restroom before leaving


Time to say goodbye to the rilakkuma heaven!


After brunch, it's time to do some souvenir shopping for our relatives! Headed down to Chia Te especially to buy pineapple cakes and sun biscuit. Look at the queue for this famous pastry!


We were given this slip to fill in and collect our orders after making payment at the cashier


Long queues but it's worth it. Regretted not buying more back, the pineapple cake is just so goodddd


Time to head back to ximen after all that souvenir shopping. Even went back with a newly bought cardigan that I snagged at a pushcart while walking to the station


Second round of dessert! Mango shaved ice back at Ximending! Another to-eat food ticked off my list! Even though this might not look very visually appealing but the taste is what matters! The mangoes are fresh and sweet which complements the milk shaved ice really well! Still prefer Taiwan shaved ice than Korean bingsu.


Back at ximending, we did not waste anytime to do last minute shopping before heading back to our hotel. Even till the last 5 minutes before boarding the cab we booked to the airport, I bought a pair of shoes 😁 which was one of my Best Buy!

Checked in our luggages, and time to bid goodbye to Taiwan...


Our last meal at the airport! 梅菜扣肉


Playing around cos there's no need to care about image when you're in a foreign country. Plus my feet hurt from this pair of shoes, therefore, the trolley ride makes us travel faster 😂


Boarded and it's really time to leave 😭


Bye Taiwan! 🇹🇼 I will surely be back to explore other places!

Korea day 5

By -

Time passes so fast when you are enjoying yourself. It is the fifth day in Korea. As usual, we packed up and left the resort in the morning to eat breakfast at the place we had our dinner the day before. I had quite a phobia that they will serve the fake "codfish" soup again as it does not taste nice at all. Luckily, the menu was beef stew soup but we do not eat beef so the soup was substituted with pork tonkatsu which is made with seafood. It does not taste appetising at all and I did not eat much as I am not used to eating rice for breakfast. I also hate having to eat mayonnaise with rice. It just tastes so...wierd...   After breakfast, we left for Everland. It opens at 9.30am but we reached there at about 10plus. We took a shuttle bus into the amusement park and took both group and solo photos at the entrance. Following that, we left to tour the park. At it was snowing that morning, many rides were closed so we sort of wasted our time there and took pictures instead. ...

Maki-San X Foodpanda

Literally rolled out of bed early for this Maki-San X FoodPanda event held at 112 Katong Maki-San's third outlet. Many thanks to Mich again for jio-ing me to this event since Paul could not make it  I've tried Maki-San once at their first Cathay outlet and I really enjoyed it and looked forward to rolling my own Makis at this event.  These days the trend is all about customization and insta-worthy food. Maki-San simply fulfill our need for novelty by allowing us to customize our very own makis with the toppings we like. Brown rice option is also available for the health conscious.  Really love the pretty and colorful packaging, which won several awards.  Even my friend brought home the boxes after eating > < Being early, we were the first to arrive at the event. We were given each a nice foodpanda apron to wear so that we will not dirty our clothes.    Mich is like a panda after suffering from insomnia last night ...

Mean Bean & Wicked Grind

After sending cousin off at Goldenmile for her coach to Kuala Lumpur, we decided to go check out Mean Bean & Wicked Grind cafe which is nearby, at The Plaza. From Goldenmile tower, The Plaza is straight up and around 10 minutes walk away. It is also just opposite Haji Lane which is quite accessible for us to go Bugis as we planned to watch a movie after checking out the cafe.  Upon reaching The Plaza, we were a little unsure if we were at the right place as it does not seem like where cafes normally should be. The reviews were accurate, this cafe is quite hard to find > <  All the stores there were mostly furniture stores or travel agencies, hence, we decided to check with the information desk. Much to our surprise, the counter staff knew almost immediately where we wanted to go and gave us directions that it is straight up inside. HOW ULU!  We finally found the cafe! It is quite a small cafe with only two tables inside and a few outside. But the deco...
