Day 7:
The typhoon rain has caught up to the west side of Taiwan. We went to Lao Shan Dong Homemade Noodles (老山東牛肉家常麵店) for lunch.
The noodle restaurant is a historic, Michelin (Bib Gourmand-recognized) beef noodle shop in the basement Level (Shop 15, B1), Wan Nian Building, No. 70 Xining South Road, Wanhua District (Ximending), Taipei, Taiwan
After lunch we went shopping at the Ximen 西門 shopping district. The rain dampened our shopping experience.
After shopping, we made a quick stop at the National Revolutionary Martyrs' Shrine 國民革命忠烈祠. Since it was raining, no one was willing to get out of the bus, but Da went out in fashion!
Then we were taken to the Kong Kee Pastry Shop (港記酥皇) where the tourists had the opportunity for a DIY pineapple cake. The tables were pre-prepped with buttered doug and pineapple filling for them to make their own little 1x1 inch pineapple cakes. While the tourists were waiting, they can also buy more pineapple cake. Da's dad was super happy he was able to purchase several boxes of famous delicious pineapple cakes
Since it was the last official tour night, the tour guide gave everyone their goodbyes.
Da seized the opportunity to meet up with the former missionary that served in our branch in 2008, Hsuan Ouyang. She picked us up at the hotel and took us to New Mei Lung Jen Restaurant 新梅龍鎮 for dinner with her daughter Riley. AND she bought us a lot of goodies to take back to US!
This is how Da's dad sleep...with the phone playing video...and the bidet!! --it's heated!
