Taiwan, Yilan - Lanyang Museum, Northeastern coast drive: Beiguan Tidal park, Bitoujiao, Nanya rock

By

Lanyang Museum

No. 750, Section 3, Qingyun Rd, Toucheng Township, Yilan County, Taiwan 261

It is a museum in Toucheng district. Its close proximity to Yilan is the reason to visit this place. 

The unique architectural design appeals to me. Too bad the skies are grey. Otherwise, it will be a pretty picture with clear blue skies reflected in the lake.

The design of the building was inspired by the cuestas commonly seen along Beiguan Coast. The museum adopts the geometric shapes of the cuestas where the roof protrudes from the ground at an angle of 20 degrees meeting a wall which rises from the ground at an angle of 70 degrees.

Enroute back from Yilan, we plan to do the north eastern coast drive. But the forecasted weather is today is rain, rain and more rain.

No. 10, Section 4, Binhai Rd, Toucheng Township, Yilan County, Taiwan 261

First stop is the 北關海潮一線天 Yi Xian Tian (loosely translated as one line sky). From the carpark its a flat walk and you need to climb up a flight of stairs which is steep but still easy to climb.

From this picture, it does show a huge similarity to Lanyang Museum.

Up close and person to the stormy sea. It started drizzling at this point.

Bitou Rd, Ruifang District, New Taipei City, Taiwan 224


The original plan was hike up the hill where the lighthouse is. We called the cafe (聽濤cafe) we wanted to visit at the mid-hill and was told it would take least a 30 minutes cllimb up. Looking at the time and the poor weather conditions we decided not to climb up. *if doing the hike: do hike from the elementary school which was said to offer better and nicer views. 

  


There is a fisherman out at the beach making some catch. 

So we decided to chill at the nearby B1 Ocean cafe. 

They have a very cute cat which roams around the cafe and some of their desserts are modelled after the it. Note the heart shape pattern on its hind leg.

After this it started pouring and we could not go for any other planned rock formations (82.5 son/mother cliff, wolf and sheep, elephant trunk rock) along the coast. But we did made a pitstop at the iconic Nanya rock. 

Its literally pouring and super windy at this point. The umbrella flipped sideways the moment it is opened. Somehow we still managed to get this picture. Hubs was asking if i wanted to hike down to look for the ice cream, fur seal and bamboo shoot. I was like NO WAY!!!

So we headed back to Taipei after this shot taking the highway instead of along the coast.

Panasonic steam oven NU-SC100WYPQ "Cutie" Product Review

By
I wanted to get weeks about it  I purchased this item from Tangs at SGD $399. They are having a promotion of discount SGD $50 if you spend SGD $500. So i top up with a vacuum tumbler and pyrex glass dish. After several months of using, here are my comments on this cutie steam oven. This is purely a steam oven with no microwave function. One of the rare oven with no microwave function.  I am ok with it as i steam fishes regularly and its a perfect addition of appliance. The other alternative is the miele steam oven and it is on offer at the same time for SGD $1600. The oven can be plugged to main power point as it is at 13 amp.  Summary: Here are some of my observations using the steam oven.  Buns Easy peasy for the early morning rush to work, put the char siew bao into the oven. Set it to 10 mins and you can steaming hot bun to eat for breakfast. Fish I steam fish majority of the time. It is super easy to use for steaming fish Vegetables Tr...

Kose Beauty Centre Facial Review (Isetan Scotts)

By
I was very very taken aback when i entered the unassuming beauty salon right in the heart of orchard. While the place is clean and design is simple, it was very sparsely furnished considering its brand name and in comparision with Yamano (the other japanese salon i went).  I entered the facial premises after i passed through the hair salon. What greeted me makes my jaw dropped even more, the room is bare. There is no wall partitions for privacy, in its place are curtains hung to separate the different beds. And i am able to see all the facial therapist and guests. Each therapist handles 2 guests both at the same time!!! From My session suppose to start at 3 pm since my therapist is also handling another customer, i whipped out my phone and start playing candy crush till my therapist is available at 3.30pm. The therapist started by cleaning my face and recommending the appropriate therapy for my skin. I was advised to do the  Whitening & Anti-ageing Treatment an...

Banquet -Parkroyal beach road (Wedding dinner review)

By
I attended a wedding in October 2013 at the Parkroyal beach road. Boy! I was in for a surprise. The hotel is newly renovated and refurbished to a very corporate and clean polished look. There is a huge area for reception. Even the exterior area is also revamped (i didn't manage to get pictures for outdoors). You can hold your ROM outdoors and have decorated to an outdoor garden setting. Yes the outdoor area is that huge! This place has changed so dramatically.  By comparison, a banquet held at the same location in 2010, see review here . There is alot more room since the wedding i attended is no longer at the other ballroom. The ceilings of the ballroom are tall, creating an illusion of space and comfort.See the ballroom with the backdrop. The photo below is where the bride and the groom walks down the aisle from the back. You are guaranteed a long long walk down the aisle. Romantic backdrop for the stage in romantic flowers display. Interestingly the cham...
