Taipei - 8 Days 7 Nights

Taipei City, the capital of Taiwan, is well known for its exciting nightlife, interesting history and scrumptious foodstuffs. From spectacular sceneries to friendly people, this city has given us the best 8 Days and 7 Nights we had. We planned for this trip since 6 months ago, and it turned out that this highly-anticipated trip was beyond our expectation. We fell in love with this place instantly.

Grandmom Desserts @ Seri Kembangan, Selangor

Not sure whether do you remember or not, before the rise of contemporary cafes and bubble milk tea stalls, 'Yu Yuan' or Yam Ball dessert was the hype of all gatherings, meet-ups, must-trys etc. We had a few 'big brands' that sold this Taiwanese dessert, made up of ice, yam balls, red beans (or green beans), grass jelly etc. It is cooling and filling at the same time, thus was the most 'trendy' foodstuff before.

Kedai Makanan Tepi Sungai @ Taiping, Perak

Prior to our trip, we came across some online articles about having seafood in Taiping, and apparently Kuala Sepetang (formerly known as Port Weld) is quite famous for its fishermen village and its seafood. The drive from Taiping town center to Kuala Sepetang took us about 45 minutes, as we passed by the charcoal factory and oil plantations along the way. If you have been to Pulau Ketam or Tanjung Sepat, Kuala Sepetang is more or less similar to them.





Once we got down from our car, the smell of fishes and the water accompanied by the breeze gave us a warm welcome to the village. The restaurant was pretty hard to find as it was away from the main road. Also, there were so many restaurants with the identical name, Restoran Tepi Sungai / Restoran Kuala Sepetang. We ended up calling the owner, and he was kind enough to lead us the way there.
