KK & TAIPEI TRIP (14th-20th Jul 2010) - DAY 6 (Last day in Taipei + KK)

On this day, we were leaving Taiwan for KK. And because we had to catch morning flight, we had to wake up early to do last checking for our baggage. We had also pre-booked a van to drive us to airport through the hotel management.

Streets in Taipei were really quiet on that morning and fewer cars were on the road compared to other times. A different side of Taipei indeed. On our way to Taoyuan International Airport, we happened to pass by betel nut stall at the road side but sadly the betel nut girls weren't wearing sexy customes haha

The check in counter wasn't opened yet when we arrived and since we hadn't eat breakfast yet thus we decided to roam the airport searching for food. We ended up in Burger King as I wanted to try our their bacon burger =D

Burger King!


Queuing


Combo set with fries, burger and drink.

*drools!*

After checking in, claiming tax, we entered the departure gate commercial area to buy some goodies from the duty free stores. Spent up all the remaining TW dollars on few bottles of perfumes and a watch! Very sinful indeed :P

While waiting for the plan to arrive, we spotted the Hello Kitty store and decided to visit it!

All sorts of Hello Kitty souveniers were sold here


They even had a children playground ^^

More accessories

Our flight was delayed and we waited extra half hour =(

Eva Airplane. The van looks so cute here!

Our in-flight meals (pictures below)

Nasi Briyani and Fried Rice with Satay (both combo set). I also purchased extra packet of Milo.


Nasi Briyani; I highly recommend this dish!


Fried Rice with Satay. As for this dish, it was just average and tasted quite dry.


The drink included in the combo set.

Finally touched down KK LCCT Airport and Sis Joyce was already there waiting for us. So sorry to kept her waiting for more than half hr due to the delay of our flight =/ She then sent us to our hotel, Imperial International Hotel located at Warisan Square.

That's how our room looked like. The hotel service and facilities were really badddd. Will talk more on the hotel review later.

Next, we went out to do some shopping plus food hunting!

Bought some mixed fruit juices at Juice Up!

We were quite indecisive and unsure where we should go for our lunch. Then I remembered fellow friends did try out the Korean Restaurant situated on the 1st floor of Warisan Square and it did look like they enjoyed their meal so we decided to give it a try.

Korean (Koryo-Jeong) Restaurant

The restaurant was empty when we arrived as it was already past 2pm in the afternoon. But soon after we had made our order, a Korean couple entered and had their meal there too. We ordered the usual must-order Korean food which include Korean BBQ Grill too, except that the meat we ordered was Pork! (yes, it's a non-halal restaurant)

The menu design is very similar to our local Korean Restaurant located in Kiulap except that KK one have more choices.


Interior of the restaurant


I guess customers can also choose to dine in the balcony area to enjoy better view of the waterfront

Below are the pictures of the side dishes as well as other food we ordered.

Kimchi


Sausages


Boiled Spinach


Radish in chili sauce


Korean Chilled Buckwheat Noodles (RM20); their version tasted much better than the ones I had tried in Brunei.


Korean Grilled Pork for the very first time!

There were few options of pork meat available but we weren't quite sure how to choose it thus seek for the Boss's recommendation. And he choosed Pork Scotch Fillet for us. It cost RM32 and there were only 4 pieces of pork fillets. The restaurant owner is a married Korean couple who have resided in KK for years and the husband was really friendly and chatty! He helped us to grill the meat and for few minutes when he was away from our table, Hubby flipped the meat on the grill and the boss saw it. He quickly walked to us and said, "No, No, No!" At that moment, it did make us felt like 3 naughty children who did something wrong haha! Then later he explained that the meat shouldn't be flipped always through out the grilling process but only once or twice. He said that the meat would lose its fragrance as well as affecting its texture if it is done frequently. A precious Korean BBQ lesson for us indeed!

Soon, we could smelt nice aroma coming from the grilled pork and the boss cut the meat into smaller pieces and grilled for some more time. I couldn't wait to try it out already! >.<
Finally, it was ready to be served! Trust me, it was the best Korean BBQ I've ever tried! The meat was really tender and juicy, not dry at all! Yummylicious!!!


Gimbap @ RM9


Kimchi Pancake @ RM20


Bill

As you can see from above pic, the total bill including the service charge was Rm89.10. Quite an expensive meal but the food was really good especially the Korean BBQ Grill. I do hope we can make a return visit to the restaurant in my upcoming KK trip!
