no luck

10 June. We decided to hunt for travel bargains in chinatown. Before we started our hunt, we sat down to grab a bite. Tried Mr Bean soya bean ice-cream. Tasted very soya beany. At least it is healthy and high in calcium. Not that sinful. With our stomachs satisfied, we began to look for Taiwan travel bargains
To our surprise, most of the travel agencies told us that the prices for free-and-easy packages were not available for the month of July as yet. We were too early in our preparations! As for the air tickets, the prices quoted were similar. China airlines was the cheapest. About $350 before taxes. Looks like we have more homework to do. To check out online prices for accommodation and compare those with packages. Planning a trip is not easy but it will definitely be a lot of fun traveling with frens.
At one plus, we threw in the towel and went for lunch. Too many choices at the Chinatown hawker centre. Quite a number with awards. In the end, I settled for wine chicken in claypot. Not superbly yummy. Just normal tasting. The highlight of lunch was supposed to be durian tang yuan. The uncle said that we could not choose flavour. So the mixture we got consisted three durian tang yuan. Poor me, I had no luck in tasting the tang yuan. You see, the tang yuan were all plain-coloured. The uncle told the different flavours apart by shape: oval, circle, elongated etc. We were only given two durian flavoured tang yuan. Sad ah…..
