Taiwan 2015 : Review 7-Eleven Beitou

In any country i visit , the first thing i will do is to visit their 7-eleven .
Taiwan has one of the more interesting 7-eleven as compare to places like Seoul or Malaysia.

They offer services such as ATM , postage service and also for online shoppers, you can ship your items to the nearest post office and collect them there.

They sell a lot of instant frozen foods and surprisingly a lot of people buy them as they always finish .

beutou egg

i try this one - siew long pao - similar with those found in Macau/Hk 7-eleven.

herbal egg-sis thinking of buying one .

they also sold hot food such as this -similar to our local yong tau foo

my fav - green tea soft ice cream

heated cawan mushi

more spicy yong tau foo - tempted to try out by scared lou sai

some 7-eleven - example like this one in Beitou sell items from MUJI

I brought my "chop"book from this 7-eleven - this is my first stamp

they have sitting areas as well as some of the shops

Taiwan 2015 : Beitou Hot Spring Resort

We will be staying at this resort for one night .
I cant remember but roughly a night cost around RM5xx . Need to check with sis on this .

 

This resort located around 5 minutes from the train station which is very convenient as you do not have to drag your luggage very far .

From the outside the resort looks huge but actually they only have 2 levels excluding ground. They have their own public hot spring pool as well . Not sure how much they charge.

 Our room # 313

 Massive room with king size bed . Very ample space with modern design

 provide twinings teas and nescafe coffee

 best part of the room - they have dry and steam sauna . ... sauna in your own room !!

 cute amenities

 This is the steam sauna / shower room

 separate toilet section

 best part is we have our own personal hot spring bath . Can fit i think 2 adults and 2 children

 they provided us with bath scrubs

And also bath robe ... which can be wore around the hotel -- similar like in japan .

Beitou Hot Spring Resort - very worth it for the price . Totally recommended to stay . Definitely will stay again if i ever come back to visit Taipei

Happy Mother Day and review puchase

HAPPY MOTHER DAY EVERYONE!!!

This year is the first time i brought flowers for  mom , thanks to a fren from Dayre who gives me the idea.
My mom , has not receive any flowers from anyone , even daddy since her wedding day ... so kesien rite ?
So , i decided , ok la this year going to surprise mommy with a bouquet of flowers.

So me and sis got my mom a bouquet vase of carnations from gift-lab .

 According to sis , the bouquet comes with 12 roses and 12 carnations .
Gift-lab link Gift-Lab

 This is marcus's mom bouquet - which i also pick for her . This bouquet is from Jasmineflorist

Ok , now i am going to complain about gift-lab.
In the order form , they got stated preferred delivery time : which i chosen Sat evening .
But this shop , sent the flowers to my house in the morning .
Wat the hell man !! Lucky daddy is at home !!
It suppose to be a surprise for mummy cos i know she will be at home in the evening .

2nd complain  , see this pictures and description compare to the actual photos of the bouquet ?
Very different rite ?
The description got state anywhere that this set comes with roses meh ? I don't see it anywhere .
I mean , how can you being such a reputable company send something that is not according to the description . I understand that if you send the flowers with slightly different sizes but adding it different flowers is not acceptable.

3rd complain , i hate the leaves . So damm weird .The picture and the actual thing looks so different.
4th complain , i drop another email after the email purchase confirmation stated that i would like to change the colour of the flowers from pink only to red and pink .

However for marcus's mom flowers , i totally lov lov love it .
The picture from the website and actual thing looks so alike .The purple roses and eustoma compliment each other very well.

Next year , i am going to order from Jasmine florist
