Taiwan Trip Day 2 Tamshui Pier. Hello Kitty Cafe. Shilin Night Market







Hello readers! Day 2 in Taiwan and we went to Hello Kitty Cafe for our lunch! 
Address for Hello Kitty Cafe : 
No 90, section 1 Daan Road , Daan District, Taipei

Nearest metro station : Zhongxiao fuxing station (忠孝复兴)
I would suggest to call first and make a reservation first because we didn't and it was crowded when we reached the cafe and the waiting time was 1 hour as all the seats was fully occupied.



 They sell beautiful cakes too!
 There is a min spending of S$12.50, so we each ordered a set lunch meal. While waiting, i went around to take more photos. Haha



















Before we left, we went to buy a Hello Kitty cake,





I went to check out their bathroom too, and it was equally cute with all the Hello Kitty design and there was even a sofa seat! 




After our lunch, we went to take the metro station and alight at the last station, Tamshui, we took the red line.
When you exit from the station, there is a tourist centre whereby they provide brochures for their tourist attractions and guide to getting there. We took a bus, bus no.26 and we only alight at the last stop.  This is the Tamshui pier!



 There will be many tourists taking turn to take photo on this bridge. They call this the lover bridge.
Another good location for dating! Haha, we was strolling around and enjoying the sea breeze.


We was lucky enough to catch the sunset with everyone at Tamshui too!


 After the sunset, we decided to check out another night market for our dinner!
 After the sunset, we decided to check out another night market for our dinner! The nearest mrt station to reach Shilin night market was Jiantan station. So do alight at the correct station as this station will provide you direction to shilin night market. A 5-10min walk from the station which is very convenient! 

If you do walk to this entrance with the signage, there is a basement and all the foods are sold mostly at the basement with level 1 selling mainly all the tourist items.
We ordered this chicken cutlet, this is good!
 The cheese mashed potato that is pretty sinful. 





For me, i prefer the Raohe night market than shilin as i find the market has become too touristy.
Shall end this post for now.
Till then!
