Taipei Day 1 - Longshan Temple (龍山寺)

Our first attraction in Taipei is Longshan Temple.


Exquisite architectural finishes of the temple.


The temple is crowded with locals praying and of course lots of tourists as well.






Nearby the temple is Cafe 85. Heard the coffee is good, however I am still full from breakfast at Yonghe.


Grab a drink from 7 Eleven. Lots of varieties of drinks to choose from.

Taipei Day 1 - Breakfast at Yonghe Chinese Type Breakfast Shop (Ximending)

Early in the morning, we arrived at Ximending where our hotel is. As we could only check in at 4pm, we left our luggage at the hotel first and decided to look around the area for breakfast.

Look what we found! Yonghe Chinese Type Breakfast shop. I heard from friends that it is good so decided to try it.

The long queue.


Lots of varieties to choose from.


We ordered two cups of soya milk. 1 cup natural and the other with black sesame added.


Freshly made pancake. It looks green because of the spinach that was added.


Taiwanese version of the carrot cake. Slightly sweet as compared to Singapore's version of the carrot cake.
