(Timestamps are below.)
0:12 Talking with you
2:34 Not far from Zhongxiao Fuxing, you'll see a shop that sells a pastry with filling inside. I chose to go with the cream and it tasted pretty well. The name of the place is 同心圓水晶紅豆餅 and is located in: No. 133, Section 1, Fuxing South Road, Da’an District, Taipei City, Taiwan 106
3:18 Not far from the first pastry shop is another pastry shop that sells an assortment of baked goods, ranging from breads, sweet breads, pork floss/scallion breads, Q pork pie (I really don't like it), cakes, and etc. The name of the shop is Charlie Brown (查理布朗製菓) and is located in: No. 123, Section 1, Fuxing South Road, Da’an District, Taipei City, Taiwan 106
5:55 Not far from the Technology Building Station (科技大樓站) is a restaurant that serves bento box meals. I chose the one with the pork belly and the entire meal tasted amazing. I've had a few bento boxes in Taipei and I believe this one may be my favorite. The meal had so many things, such as the creamy pork belly, bean curd, spinach, lettuce, I believe Hong Kong sausage, a half boiled egg, and something sweet. It was great!
The name of the shop is 長榮發池上飯包, and it's located in: 號, No. 299, Section 2, Fuxing South Road, Da’an District, Taipei City, 106 | 02 2739 4088
7:31 The journey to Xindian. After walking around, I finally bumped into a grand view of the hills and river. I was also surprised when I saw the Bitan Suspension Bridge. I've only been on one suspension bridge, and that was the Baishihu Suspension Bridge in Neihu (Day 3). I didn't think I would see or go on another one. The Bitan bridge felt a little more wobbly than the Baishihu, but I did enjoy walking on the bridge while being able to still be within the city. It's not too far from Xindian station. And it's around here:
No. 10, Xindian Rd, Xindian District, New Taipei City, Taiwan 231
10:33 After walking over the Bitan Suspension Bridge, I decided to go up Hemei Trail 和美山步道. It was a nice experience, but I didn't enjoy being on the trail as evening approached.
13:31 Once I got down from Hemei Trail, I crossed the Bitan Suspension Brdige and went direction to Xindian Road. It was evening and there were food stalls everywhere. I had a baozi from this one stall and it was amazing! Also! The lady truly could've ripped me off, as there weren't any signs that said the price of the baozi, so I gave her 30 TWD. She waved her hand and head, gave me back the 20TWD and just smiled. It was really great to see that. Now, I don't know the name of the shop and didn't find it on Google Maps. However, I found the stall that's literally right next to the baozi stall, and the name of is 古早味蔥抓餅 and the location is: No. 232, Xindian Rd, Xindian District, New Taipei City, Taiwan 231
After that, I went to a little shop and saw some awesome noodles. I pointed towards it, but I think the lady got confused, since it wasn't the same noodle dish I pointed to, plus it tasted really so-so. But I was glad to see her passion when she was telling me to try her pork with rice (zhu rou fan 滷肉飯). I can see the enthusiasm and passion in her eyes, so I had to try it. And I'm glad I did. It was amazing.
It tasted very creamy and flavorful. And I think it may be my favorite zhu rou fan so far. As for the name of the place and location, that I couldn't find. However, it's still on Xindian Road, so you shouldn't have an issue finding it. If anything, just take a screenshot of the shop from my video and that should make it easier for you to find.
