Day 5 started with a simple breakfast of 葱油饼, 油条 and 豆浆, before we proceeded to another museum in our itinerary - Miniatures Museum of Taiwan (袖珍博物馆). As the name implied, the place contained a lots of miniatures, many of which exquisitely done. It was, however, baffling that such an interesting museum was located at the basement of an office building, which happened to be not in very close proximity to any MTR station.

My dear loved the place very much and we were utterly impressed that they actually had a miniature working tv in one of their model homes. The tv was broadcasting some unknown show that was on a loop, but we were already awed off our feet. We took many photos there but it was a pity that the lighting was bad and a lot of the photos had reflections off the glass covering the artifacts. Below are some of the better ones:
We then had our lunch at the reputable Ding Tai Feng and naturally we ordered its specialty dish - xiao long bao. We also ate some noodles to fill our stomachs.

The rest of the day saw us walking around several iconic places in Taipei. Let's see if you can identify them.

We then rested our feet at Taipei 101 where we continued our quest for the overseas fast food experience in KFC.

En route to the night market, the facade at one of the MTR stations there caught our eyes. Its artworks actually got lights embedded in them, definitely one level higher than our local walls, though some of our art pieces at the newer mrt stations were good. Nevertheless, our focus was on walking the night market, though my dear was put off by the large number of stalls selling seafood. After eating some snacks and even more walking, we went back to the hotel, ending our last night at Taiwan.
