Taipei Day 4 : Yi Lan

Day 4 we head out to Yi Lan. Supposed to go to Dan Shui, but our business partner decided to take us on a scenic route and have some fabulous seafood. So we head out to Yi Lan. The scenic route is really beautiful. Reminds me of Hokkaido. If you have time, rent a car and drive down this route. You will end up facing the pacific ocean.
 He brought us here for seafood. 
 We ended up spending NT16800 for this fantastic seafood.
 After the meal, we took a walk around the neighbourhood. 
 Am surprised to find lotsa puffer fish here!
 We continue on the scenic route. These rock carvings are cute! 
 And then we reach Yi Lan. 
 Their cemetery looks cute. 
 We pass by this temple which the locals believe to be good.
 This store seems rather popular. Not sure how it taste
 We came to this shop to buy souvenirs. Yi Lan is famous for the San Xin Chong and Niu Se Bing. 
 There is a hot spring park where you can soak your feet and hands. 
They have their own beer! Great taste!
 After back in Taipei, we went to try the long queue bun stall. There are actually 2 bun stalls. One behind Sogo and one beside Sogo. Not sure which taste better. I only tried the one beside (Jiang Tai Tai) and it's just so-so. The one behind (Jiang Bao Zi) looks about the same. Hmm...
 One of my colleague recommended Amo's Honey Layer Cake. So we all went to grab it. Haven't taste it yet, so I can't tell you if it's good.
 And one of my friend recommended us to try out this steamboat. So here we go. Lucky we called in to reserve. It seems like it is pretty full everynight. We only end up with the 9pm slot as the 7pm one is full. They only give you 2 hours to finish up. It taste great. If you have time, go for it. But the portions are huge! So don't order too much. 1 bottle of drink is enough for 3 to share. Their ma la soup is made out of duck blood and taufu. You must try it. It is wonderful!
