Our guide brought us to some of the old streets
to walk around and at the same time, we settled our luncheon at their local restaurant.
We dined at one of the restaurants that attracted father in law with their dish.
It was the pig’s blood. He has been wanting to eat that delicacy as we can no
longer find them back home.
We browsed through the menu and ordered some
simple dishes for lunch as we were somehow not confident of the food they
served after a few days of disappointment. Okay… the lunch is not as tasty as
usual and somehow we are kind of used to it. In my opinion, the food in Taiwan
definitely cannot compared to those in Hong Kong.
We continued our sightseeing and ended up at
the Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall and museum. The elderly immediately identified
the history of this person and started discussing among themselves about the
past and what happened during his time. It was quite interesting to know his story
and we were lucky to get to witness the change of guards while we were walking along
the hallways.
The
name of the square is officially Liberty
Square (自由廣場),
as seen above the front gate, however the name change was politically motivated
and most people in practice still refer to the entire complex as CKS Memorial
Hall. It was indeed an interesting tour at the museum which I had some
wall through history lessons.
As the evening came, we decided to head down to the famous Raohe Night
Market. When we arrived, we noticed it was pretty crowded and many of the
stalls had long queues. We walked around and we tried some street food as we
walked along the street though most of the stalls were repeated.
We stopped by a restaurant and decided to have Japanese Yong Tau Foo since
the weather is quite cold due to the rain. Hubby and I went to get some street
food to share since we may not be able to try all the food. I did not enjoy the
street food too and to this point, I am actually pretty disappointed with
Taiwan. Sighz…
