Taiwan Prewed Shoot (Day 4)

After days of waiting and controlling my diet, it was finally the day we had to make a stop at the bridal shop to choose our gowns and suits for the photoshoot! Our appointment was in the afternoon, so we had some more time to tour the city.

One of my favourite food is Unagi. My brother-in-law then suggested that we go to the 肥前屋for some delicious unagi bento. It was known to be famous. That’s why we decided to be there early. Alas, there was already a queue! Queues are generally a sign to tell us that the food is worth the wait. So we patiently waited. And the food was awesome!

Next, we visited the 八方云集 guotie joint. My family loves guotie. So we had a great time eating there and it definitely wasn’t our only visit there. I controlled the amount I ate as much as I wanted to gobble them all! I promised myself I would eat more after my photoshoot!

We decided to visit the 中正纪念堂 before our appointment since it was just opposite the bridal shop. Some may think that the changing of guards ceremony was nothing interesting. But of course to us, almost everything overseas is interesting and worth experiencing! Otherwise, why bother to even travel right?!

Our bridal shop was along the Aiguo East Road. I called it the bridal street just like our Tanjong Pagar in Singapore because there was also a row of bridal shops in that short stretch of road.

We finally made our way to the bridal shop and spent the rest of the afternoon having fun choosing my gowns. As always, the time taken to choose my hubby’s suits took half the time.

By the time we were done, it was already dinner time! The bridal shop staffs recommended that we go to a nearby shop for 卤肉饭 (Braised Pork Rice) after hearing that I like it. Again, there was another long queue. But it moved relatively fast. So, we got a seat and had our food before I started to feel the hunger!

Seeing that we had some time to ourselves, we headed to Shilin Night Market for some more eating and playing! One of my favourite games at the night markets in Taiwan is the Mahjong Bingo! Years ago during our graduation trip, I won a Line Moon soft toy at that game! Since then, I started my collection of 1 soft toy per trip! This time, I wanted to try my luck.

The game is simple. It’s a bingo game using Mahjong tiles, pure test of your luck. Out of all the tiles available, you’ll get to pick 15 tiles at random. As long as you manage to form any straight line, you’ll win a prize! In my first round of 5 games, I had already won a few packets of drinks. I decided to try another 5 games. And this time, I won BIG!
