We took the MRT to Xi Men Ding. It was thronged with people and brightly lit with many neon signs and overhanging strings of lightbulbs. We practically had to squeeze our way through crowds of people, somehow making me feel like part of a train wreck, trying to navigate my way through the mass of people.
My mother and I practically went wild, stopping at every single shop to check out the great deals on clothing, shoes and accessories. Clothing were sold at unbelievable prices, with a huge range of different colours and designs. Thanks to the lower cost of living of living in Taiwan, the same items were sold at much lower prices in Taiwan and I was able to buy many clothing and shoes!
After shopping for a few hours, my mother and I were getting hungry. We headed towards Ah Zong Mian Xian (阿宗面线) and each of us ordered a small bowl of handmade noodles to fill our empty stomachs. Ah Zong Mian Xian has over thirty years of history, and has been serving customers piping hot handmade noodles. The special part of this shop is that the noodles are made on the spot and sold there. Due to much space being required to make these noodles, this shop does not have any chairs or tables for the customers! Nevertheless, people still surge forward to buy a bowl of noodles. A hot bowl of noodles during the chilly days of winter in Taiwan definitely makes the noodles taste even more tasty!
