fried wanton to share

My bowl of soupy wanton mee tastes boring and mel said the standard dropped terribly, probably change of hands. I love fried wanton but they are too expensive. I think $0.50 for 1 mini wanton.

Gong Cha at International Plaza!

Ordered Esther's favorite. Honey Green Tea with Aloe Vera. Oh i think i miss her. Teehee!

Jane brought me to Mandarin Hotel at Somerset to have my mont blanc cardholder washed.
She swears by Colorwash so i thought i give it a try. Been using the cardholder for 2 years now and it's reallyyyy dirty now ):

IMG_2066
Costed me only $20 for wash.
There's another popular branded bags washing place at Far East Plaza but i haven't sent any bags for cleaning. Which is a better place? Lemme know if you are a regular! ((: Thank you!

And off for my Jean Yip Loft appointment! 
Schedule been hectic so i have not been there for awhile.

IMG_3073
Shiok!!! 

The benefits of Ginger Wrap is amazing.

And yummy ginger tea and red bean soup after my treatment (:

Share a little more on the Ginger Thermal Mask i did!

There are numerous health benefits of ginger. It helps in curing problems of digestion, blood circulation, arthritis, muscle tension, menstrual cramps and promote drainage of fats n toxins.

Ginger treatment used with massage can help relieve painful arthritis due to its anti-inflammatory properties. It can be added on to areas of localized chronic pain and ease muscle tension. It also serve as a remedy for menstrual cramps, warming the womb.

Last but not least, it promote drainage of fats n toxins when further enhance with a mask! And i think this is my favorite Ginger benefit lolol!

Jean Yip is throwing a promotion for readers here! (:

Here's Jane's bowl. Looks really right?

Pei Pei helped order for me while i ordered some ngoh hiang for us to share. 
So she asked, you want prawns with shell or without. Being the lazy me who hates to peel prawns, i said shell-free!!!! 

So here's our bowl.

IMG_2473
What?!?!?!


Same price as Jane's at $4.50, we got like shrimps? ))):
Mega sad. The verdict: that's the price to pay for being lazy!

IMG_2471

And after work, we walked over to Bluemist with the team for some drinks. 
Melvin was off to Japan for a week so we wanted some catching up before he leaves. That's how close our team is, and i love it.

It's located at Tanjong Pagar Market. Our bosses brought us to lunch one day and we walked past this drinking place, and our eyes were glued to this place and said. "This place, we are gonna come soon!" Hohohoho!

Zonia and I at a Levi's store where she got her Havaianas!

IMG_1201

The brightly lighted and crowded street! It was drizzling then, so it was pretty inconvenient carrying an umbrella around especially so when the streets get more crowded! 

IMG_1214

This store sells cheap and comfy shoes! Zonia got one for her friend while I got two for myself! 

IMG_1215
One of the shops at the night market!

We bought the One day Visitor's Pass which entitled us to unlimited metro rides for the entire day!
So if you plan to travel for the whole day, get the day pass cause it's much more worth it.

Daddy taking a self shot with my camera!

IMG_1387

Tried the 50 Lan Bubble tea which was available just below our hotel! Zonia's been looking for 50 lan cause her friends said that it's really good. And as shared by a few readers and friends, 50 Lan in Taiwan is equivalent to our Koi! (: 

IMG_1388

IMG_1392
Caramel Milk Tea with Grass Jelly!

IMG_1393

As it was our last night in Taipei, we decided to visit the night markets again! First up was Shida Night Market which we thought was a waste of time if we went before previously as the variety was limited as compared to Shilin Night Market!

IMG_1407
Ordered a Crepe again- $2!

IMG_1417

IMG_1420

The fragrance of the Almond tea this store sells was too tempting for Zonia to resist! It tasted gooooood! We could smell Almond like 5 stalls away, no joke!

Back to the hotel and pictures of my loots!

IMG_1421

IMG_1422
The stocking I got from a store in Shida Night Market!

No idea if i would have the chance to wear them but they were so pretty. Heart shapes and ribbons stockings at barely $8.

IMG_1424
Shoes from Shilin!

These are really cheap! Like $8 per pair.
I don't wear covered shoes but i couldnt resist them! 

IMG_1425
Brollies from Ximending!

Weee these are $4 each and really small and light. Packed the light pink one in my bag to work! (:
So these are my buys on the last day of Taiwan and marks the end of my Taiwan travelogue. Will blog about the Hong Kong one when I have time okay? ((:
