One of my favorite meals in Taipei was here. Thank you Michael Wu for the recommendation!! Taiwan’s version of Shabu Shabu. Since Taiwan was under the Japanese for 50 years, so a lot of their food is influenced by them
There is a station to make your sauce and get your rice – Get all you can! 🙂 
Hotpot at Wulao. Boneless spareribs, Premium beef, Iberico pork shoulder in Spicy Wulao broth and Layered Tofu broth #WulaoHotPot #Wulao #H2HTaiwan
Even the kids enjoyed 🙂

We didn’t plan lunch that day so since we were in Taipei 101,
we ended up here
Taiwanese style Teppanyaki at Hunghwa Teppanyaki Steakhouse. They say you should try Taiwanese Teppanyaki since it is a bit different from Japanese and though it is similar it has its own version. This place reminds me of one of our favorite places in Tokyo Ukai Tei but not at the same level 🙂

Love their garlic bread! 🙂 
Taiwanese teppanyaki uses steam to cook

They have lamb!!! YAY!
One of our best meals in Taipei was at Shilin Market! Taipei is really known for their street food so its not surprising 🙂 Spontaneous dinner if the best!!
We lined up for this Largest fried chicken. it was the first stall we saw upon arrival at Shihlin night market – yum!!! That is one of the secrets to the taste. NT$70.00 We saw 2 stalls of this both with long lines #ShihLin #LargeFriedChicken #h2htaiwan #H2HChicken
This was where we had our dinner
Beside it there is seating 🙂
Fresh prawns being grilled
Abalone
Castañas next door
There was a fresh fruit vendor next door
so she opened the fruits mom chose. Sugar apple/atis is the best! And the makopa
Down the road was a line so just follow any stall with a line and for sure its good! haha!! We don’t really know much so that is one of our gauge.
Chef Javs spot this- freshly baked cake
He sliced it for all of us and it was so good
FUN!
About 30 to 45 minutes away from the city, there is Beitou Hot Springs! There are several resorts so we are glad we got a recommendation from Ning
Villa 32 . I wish we spent a whole day here
They have a sulfur bath aside from the regular hot spring. So relaxing #beitouhotspring #villa32hotspringresort #H2HTaiwan
After hot spring there is a lounge with some rooms where you can sleep or just relax and have drinks and some snacks
They have a restaurant
Nightime 🙂

The most prominent historical landmark in Taiwan, the CKS Memorial Hall was erected in honor and memory of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, the former President of the Republic of China, and was opened in 1980 as part of a national park and gathering area.
The name of the square is officially Liberty Square, 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.
The octagon-shaped white building rises 76 meters and is covered with blue tiles and red accents, echoing the flag of the Republic of China. The eight sides represent the Chinese cultural symbolism of the number eight which is traditionally associated with fortune and wealth. The two sets of 89 steps represent Chiang’s age of death and lead up to main hall housing a large bronze statue of Chiang protected by military personnel which change hourly.
The characters behind Chiang’s statue read “Ethics”, “Democracy”, and “Science”, and the inscriptions on the side read “The purpose of life is to improve the general life of humanity” and “The meaning of life is to create and sustain subsequent lives in the universe”.
Below the hall is a museum documenting Chiang’s life and career, as well as exhibits about Taiwan’s history, pan-Chinese culture and history, and the ROC’s development after moving to Taiwan.
Besides the main hall, the large complex includes the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Park (??????), National Concert Hall (?????), and the National Theater (?????). ( GuideToTaipei.com )
This is my favorite part – so I have three photos 🙂
Panoramic view
Officially the National Revolutionary Martyrs’ Shrine, the shrine was built to honour the fallen Kuomintang soldiers after the Chinese Civil War (and subsequent government relocation to Taiwan), and is home to around 390,000 spirit tablets honouring the lives and sacrifices of the KMT soldiers during the war against the communists in mainland China.
Built in 1969, the complex contains the main shrine, as well as several small exhibitions along the perimeter.
Most visitors will leave the area as soon as the guard changing is complete, but be sure to walk inside and explore the fascinating and beautiful Chinese architecture.
The front gate is guarded by active ROC military personnel, and visitors are welcome to observe the changing of the guard at the top of every hour until 5PM. ( GuidetoTaipei.com
I climbed up 5 stories to get this photo! It was hard to get the photo that I wanted because you have to be in a building or area further away than where I was – but anyway this is what I got
I saw a photo in the internet of Jiufen and it was similar to thisso I asked our tour guide Jun how I could get that shot and he knew –
he took me to the restaurant across haha!! We climbed to the top of that building!!It is right across A Mei Teahouse. Its not the exact shot but it was okay
Apparently this beautiful building with lanterns was where we had our lunch! A mei Teahouse ! This is the teahouse in the movie Spirited Away. It’s a cartoon movie but this was the location in the movie #Jiufen #AmeiTeahouse #AmeiTeahouseJiufen #SpiritedAway #H2HTaiwan
This is the first level of the teahouse and is so charming but we could not stay here because we were a big group
So this was where we were, its a private area which had 3 tables
Traditional Taiwanese food which was actually good 🙂 
Dessert which was yum
super sweet fresh oranges
