Taiwan Adventure (Part 3) : Collective blogpost! :)

Hi guysss! ❤

Today I am going to do a collective blog post because:-
1. my memory is slipping away
2. i don't want to be still blogging about "Taiwan Vacation (Part 101)" ten years from now wth. So this post is going to be a pretty longgg one, so bear with me ❤

Yes, from the first picture as you can see, its all about animals in this first part of the blog post! :) The flying cow ranch is this really huge farm with lots of different types of animals; goats, cows, rabbits, ducks etc. 

Anyway, back to the ranch, as I said, it is really really huge with no buggies or vehicles of any sort to drive around. So if you're not a professional supermodel who is really good at wearing heels, I highly suggest wearing comfy shoes :) 

There are plenty of activities you can do here; for example, you can dress up nicely and have a photoshoot here because the scenery is super perfect (don't dress up like me). If you have no interest in taking photos of yourself, then you just take of the scenery also can :) 

Other than that, for nature lovers; or animal enthusiasts; you will find immense pleasure playing around with the animals here :) 

Of course, there are cows at the Flying COW Ranch! But do the cows there fly? Nah... That was so disappointing :( All they do is just laze around on the green fields. LOL

My friend, the black goat. The goat was so hungry it even ate up a paper bag some irresponsible people threw onto the ground -.-
Okay, and I admit, I was a teeny bit scared of the goat eating my hands off and hence i kinda fed it from high above hah.

These cute fluff balls are the bunnies there! As usual, you can also feed them :) However, there are some really big bad bullies in there!
The baby bunnies really do not have much to eat; all taken away by those bad ones so do take note of them :)
The flurry one in this picture with the ears faced downwards is my fave; it is super cute + idk why it somehow looks like a puppy ❤

The flying cow ranch also manufactures its own ice cream and other stuff (soap, hand cream etc.)

The ice cream here is really rich in milk (probably from the cows there haha)

 Furthermore, there are DIY activities offered here too - but i didn't try them out because i was feeling hungry and the itinerary didn't really permit; but if i had another chance to visit again; id like to try that out :)

Below are more irrelevant pictures:

Ignore all our tired faces because we were feeling pretty jet lagged and we didn't have much rest @ the hotel the night before sobs 

xxxxxxx

Now, lets embark on a journey to the train station! :)

This place is just another sightseeing place for you to visit. You can do absolutely nothing here but snap  pics. However, there are other shops, like restaurants and souvenir booths here, so feel free to roam around :)

As your tour guide, I must, of course, share with the history of this place. HAHA acting like a professional now tsk. This place is formerly known as Shihliufen Station, is 402.32 meters and is entirely built up of pine trees without using any nails :)

Well, thats what i read from the bulletin board there...

Even the no smoking sign looks so cute! :)

Just waiting for the train to pass us by :)

The sign says NO CROSSING. But I crossed... and...

I took more photos with my sister :) haha

And Mummy :)

So basically, this train station used to be a functional one but now, its a place for photo taking and tourists.  When I was there, the wind was blowing really strong and we had a lot of fun waiting for the train to come (we jumped around on the railway, crossed the platforms and even stood in the middle of the tracks) but it never did.....

Anyway moving on, let me bring you to a broken bridge where I attempted to cross but fell. Just kidding. This is yet another place for you to take photographs but if you really don't like taking pictures, i don't actually recommend coming because it is kind of a waste of time and petrol. All there is here is this bridge, but if you really have empty slots, then you can definitely come visit. :)

The blue blue sky + the broken bridge is so breathtaking especially in the cold winter breeze :)

The world is mineeee! 

Phew... Aren't you exhausted from all the traveling and sightseeing? Its time for food, to fill up our tummies! :)

This place is Home Poulet, which is located in Yuanlin, Taiwan. It is a western restaurant with a really sweet and innocent interior and friendly staff :) If you are purely English speaking and had a hard time communicating in Taiwan, fret no more, the manager of this place can speak passable English and you can order smoothly :) 

The menu is in Mandarin but you can ask for assistance from the staff :)

We ordered a set dinner which consists of soup, salad, pasta, bread, a whole chicken and dessert @ around TWD 1800/ RM 200/ USD 64. This set is for 4 pax but if you eat lightly/want to leave some space for night market food later, then it can be consumed by 5 people too :)

Cream of Mushroom. This tasted really rich and yummy :)

This is the herb /marinated?/ chicken. It is enriched with flavor and it is juicy too! :)

Pasta and its sides - shared around the table.

This dessert- I couldn't really remember its name but its like a panna cotta with a rich milk+vanilla taste! :)

Last but not least, let me introduce to you the famous in house dessert! It is a loaf of bread covered with lots of fruits and a berry ice cream! Yums! The waitress would cut open the loaf of bread for you to expose bread cut into smaller cubes for you to spread the ice cream over and pair it with a piece of fruit and be ready to taste the heavenly mixture caused by this pairing! It really is highly recommended for you to try this type of dessert in Taiwan. I've seen other places selling it but I didn't try, so I am not sure if it will taste as good. 

XOXO ❤
