#2taiwanmei Day II GoBar x Xin Dian x Shi Da Market

We only woke up just before noon due to our late first night at the KTV. That was just as well as our first plan was to visit a dog cafe in Xin Dian and it only opened at 12. It was a bit of a walk from the metro, and we bumped into this sweetie on the way there. 



Arrived and the puppy love began!! 

GoBar 狗吧寵物餐 
12:00–21:00 (Closed Mon and Tue) 
Minimum cost per person: NT$200 
新北市新店區環河路17號 
17, Huanhe Rd., Xindian Dist., New Taipei City, Taiwan

Can you feel my excitement omg. This is Ah Dan, he was a lot more excite and affectionate when we first came & when we had food, hahaha. 

This is Meimei, a really sweet old-ish goldie. She had a bit of a skin infection at this point. 


But she was a happy trooper.


I forgot his name ahhhhh. But he was the most aloof and also the smartest doge there. He was rescued by one of the owners off the street and he knows many tricks hehe. 

This is Pony, he was also rescued by the owner from an abusive ex-owner. He loves the ladies hehe. 


Food first because we were starving! I have to say, I was not expecting them to have such excellent food! Most animal/themed cafes usually serve meh or subpar food but wow, not this place. The menu was in Mandarin so we asked for recommendations. I don't know what this is called but the owner simply said it was "beef pasta". The sauce was divine, the beef just tender and flavourful :')

We also got coffee, fruit tea, and a sandwich. Every item was amazing. 

We stayed there for a good 3 hours, just chilling, chatting, and cuddling the puppies. It was really quiet and lovely (since it was a weekday). 



Want to bring you homeeeee.

Sleepy Meimei




I love him :') 

His dad went out to get something so he stood there staring until he came back, what a loyal little doge. 


When we finally dragged ourselves away, we decided to check out the Xin Dian area and mount the apparently must-see bridge. 












Pupper who sniffed at me for the longest time before erupting into a volley of borks. 

After this we went to Shi Da Market for shopping! I really liked the stuff there, bonus points for shop dogs. This little weiner was really affectionate! 

And a not so friendly cat haha. 

Amazing bbq food! By the time we were done shopping, both of us were exhausted. So we quickly ordered some to bring home and eat. 

Clean, happy, and could feel my cheeks expanding from all the food we ate.

#2taiwanmei Day I: Wufenpu x Raohe Market

Our flight was first thing in the morning at 7am but it was delayed for almost 2 hours and as a result our schedule was set back quite a bit on the first day. Thankfully we planned for delays and all was fine!

We arrived around 1pm and spend about 45mins at customs. Then it was go go go, off to the city for us! 

First of many puppers we saw :3 

Successfully checked into our airbnb at 3pm, and it was beautiful. 


By this point we were starving so we headed downstairs to share a bowl of beef noodles. 

Met up with the bestie and headed off to Wufenpu to start shopping! 

Non stop laughter with these two. 





She was an angel :')


A lot of warm weather clothing and not a lot of talent, but we did still manage to pick up a couple of stuff!


This pupper was full of love and I could barely tear myself away from her. 


Tired for shopping and time for food! 

Temple beside the entrance of the famed Rao He Market. 

Met a Husky selling egg tarts. 


First thing you see at the start are the famed pepper buns. Not really my kind of thing but these two decided to try it out.

THIS IS THE BOMB. 

I love it so much. 



Potato with cheese which wasn't as great as I expected but still, cheese and potatoes.. can't go too wrong there. 




Tempuraaaaaaa


Amazing TW Sausage. 


So excited to find her favourite winter melon tea. 

Fruit juice for me. 

After this we stopped by our airbnb to put down our shopping and then headed to KTV to sing our hearts out till the wee hours. I have no more pictures because we were too busy having fun, it was amaaaaazing :3
