Taiwan2011 Day 8 - 211211

Day 8 - Taipei > Jiufen > Keelung

1000Hrs - We set off late as we took a 1200Hrs train to Ruifang before taking a bus to JiuFen.



It is always as cloudy as everyday at JiuFen and it rains almost everyday so I guess the condition that day that I went was quite lucky.

 This stall sells the tofu and fishballs below.  It has a lot of customers but I find it so-so.

 This is the best in JiuFen.  You must definitely try this.  This is a green-bean soup with yam balls inside.  They sell their yam ball soup at one place and you need to walk down the street for about 2shops' length before reaching their eating area where you find shelter and seats.


 This is one of the specialties in JiuFen.  It is called Red Braised Pork Bun.  They used the transparent skin to wrap the red braised pork inside before submerging it in their wine.  It has a very strong alcohol smell and not everyone likes it.  Recommend to just order 1 and give it a try first.
This is Fried Octopus also from the stall above.  It taste not bad as the squid that they use is very fresh.
 We then took a bus opposite the 7-11 at the entrance of JiuFen.  Waited for around 5min for a bus to Keelung.
The bus ride was around 1 hour and we had a good nap on the bus before the bus driver woke us up at Keelung.











It was still raining at Keelung and we approached the Tourism centre near there and they shared with us on how to get to Miaokou Night Market from Keelung Train station.





 Arrived at Miaokou Night Market and it was rainly quite heavily.
 We tried the BBQ squid and it tasted okay okay only. NT$100 though, quite ex.


 The one at the top is Glutinous Rice and it tasted quite bland.
The bottom one is crab broth and it tasted quite okay but I do not like to eat seafood so it does have some effect on my appetite later.

We also tried this dessert and it tasted quite great.  Haha I think it was the best dish for me in Miaokou because I don't enjoy seafood.  But if you enjoy seafood then Miaokou is a MUST!
