Day 4 Taiwan - Unique

What is this magic?

On the same day itself, after our god damn healthy lunch(me want meat!), we went to the Sun Moon Lake to have a boat tour on the lake!

WTF is wrong with this fog!?
Okay, this fog is seriously getting on my nerves, by spoiling 2 great visiting spot/activities. Argh! Well, since we are here, then we decided to talk a look around the lake see what hidden treasure lies within.
Quiet street, might be due to off season or the fog
Some traditional scarf in Taiwan
Hate the fog
Famous red tea(红茶), smooth and delicious. As you can see beside the stall, there's a banner from a travel show featuring this stall. There's even a wordings said strongly recommended.
Good tea, can never find any stall in Malaysia near this
As titled, I named this as Unique because we get to see some unique stuff. This wicked shop sell all kinds of weird stuff, from cocaine sweets to condom gum. However the owner doesn't allow photo, we try to sneak some photo but the shopkeeper been tailing us.
The name of this shop is Monster Post(妖怪邮政局).

Fortune vending machine
We straight caught up by this, when it says fortune teller from a vending machine.
We gather around and figure how to operate

Since we are done here, off to another place!!
Dried Mushroom! Lim lala actually bought this as new year snack, he bought alot!

Honey where are you?
Top grade raw green tea, from what I remembered is 100g per NTD2000
We had our shopping spree here, so the owner treat us some tea and chit chat.
The famous Paper Dome
Just NTD100, you get to experience a relax world with very very unique structure, what made with paper.

This pure honey melon ice-cream.

Ex-ordinary gift shop
Safe bell
Pretty and cheerful translator explaining the Paper Dome Structure
I won a towel or something from some quiz during that event, but I lost it~ :(

We did just sit there, enjoying drinks for like an hour, doing nothing, this place is so relax.

Next stop, the bakery!
Bakery, S.E.A tourist top choice of bakery according to the owner and our tour guide and the local citizen

Sell their pineapple tart like selling jewellery. The presentation!

History of the shop
We end up buying NTD 7000+ of merchandise! Because they are so delicious and a must to bring back.
A couple of thing worth to mention about this bakery beside their delicious food is their service. They allow delivery to any part of Taiwan if your purchase is over a certain margin(around NTD 5000). Another thing is that, the biscuit and cake are freshly baked the day before they deliver, guarantee fresh.

What we did was, set the delivery date on the day before our flight back to Malaysia, ensure the freshness, then ask our motel/mingshu owner to receive for us. Their package is so good that, even the box isn't dented when delivered.
Snacks before head to Taipei to our  Mingshu
Tour Guide! Mr. Wang
Wee! Our room with cute graffiti on the wall
We end our day with simple dinner that most Taiwanese had.
