Initially the plan was to head down to Jiaoxi Township for a hot spring experience! I managed to find a place that has a "club-like" system to how they run their hot springs and even different flavoured hot spring pools where everyone is attired in swimwear so that its all nice and PG. Unfortunately due to certain unforeseen circumstances, hot springs were a no-go and we had to come up with alternative plans.
Surfing google map was the only way we could do it, and so we embarked for Banqiao since there seemed to be the most shopping malls there. Well, the thing about shopping malls in Taiwan, its way too expensive - especially if you're a cheapo who shops at night markets and street stalls. So we settled on lunch and made an impromptu decision to watch an IMAX movie of Exodus which was the only English movie on at the time.

Then it was time to head off to Ximending for some late night dinner snacks before we went back to the hotel!

| Ah Zhong Mee Sua - A famous stall in Ximending that just brings in swarms of crowds! |
 |
| Flamed Beef Cubes - one of our street favourites which you can find in most night markets! |
 |
| Bomb Scallion Pancake - way too spicy for me - kinda like a spicy prata~! |
 |
| Fried Assorted Mushrooms - mmmmmm yum! |
 |
| COLD STONE CREAMERY for some mind freezing desserts! |
A pretty chill day of doing pretty much nothing but we went back early to pack up since we were checking out the next morning to head to Taichung!
Till the next post,
Fly Safe and Eat Happy,
