Taiwan Trip 2015 Day 6 Part 3 ~ JiuFen Old Street | 九份老街

Next stop was JIufen! It was about 1 hr journey from Shifen so not that near actually! It was high up the mountains! 

And the sky looked threatening.. It did drizzle al litter that day.

Guide Chen dropped us there and told us to meet him in 1.5 hours time!




At the entrance.


Very crowded as usual.


The first thing we ate there! Mix taro, sweet potato balls, with pearls and Tauhuey.


My family likes this so we got one to share. The one nearer to the entrance is not the famous/ popular one. 


Of cos I asked for the one without the parsley.


The famous fishball soup which we got a bowl to share! 






Mochi! Feel like eating it now typing this. Too bad dint get it!



We waited a while before eating for it to cool down. It has a higher %age of fish meat to the usual ones we have! 
I actually dislike the usual fishball but this is not bad.




Alot of people buying the custard puff!






And of cos we had to try! Haha. Think we had sweet potato and taro puff!

 



This is the famous one.


Piggy and BCX got tempted by this curry fishball lol.


We joined the hype and got one too!





This is famous at Jiufen too! Of cos must try haha!


Hands too full tsk.





Grill mushrooms! Got a portion and had almost the whole cup to myself lol.






There was super long queue for this kueh, which they call it 草仔粿.



There's savoury and sweet ones, I tried and the texture is just like chewy rice cake. 
Maybe I just dont know how to appreciate it haha.





Finally going down the mountain.








The famous teahouse that was featured in some movie.








Even appeared in Korean drama - On Air! But seriously, too long ago no recollection lol.



Photo spam when we got out of the shops.



 









 




Alot of van waiting for the tourists haha.




 We walked past a row of traditional houses before reaching the bottom to get back the the van!  




And this is how the kueh look close up! We had it in the van haha!


Stay tuned! 2 more stops for day 6!
