Taiwan 2023 Day 1 (part 1)

Marhaba Lounge at Changi Terminal 3 after check-in and past immigration.

The dory fish creamed filet was kinda salty 
but still nice enough for me to finish a piece 👍🏻🐟
The satay was dry and thus kinda tough... 
guess it had been left out for quite a while when we took it near midnight. 
After midnight they put out a new batch and it was GOOD! 
Pity I couldn't eat more since I had to leave some space in my tum for the airplane meal.

Boarding gate~ Waiting anxiously for them to announce the start of boarding. 
And of course since I had bought business class seats for the both of us, we were "Sky Priority" passengers who could board first, 
right after passengers with infants (which there were none 😄)

Pre-departure drinks while the pilot apologized for a 1-hour delay due to the typhoon. 
While waiting we played pinball, reversi and uno on the in-flight entertainment screen.

 
And yup. I lost. Hahahahahahaha. 🙄

Of course ... Just had to play with the sliding divider 😂

Feet photos 🤨🤭🤣

Finally took off! Bye SG!

Appetizer - Nutss crackers and Peach 🍑 Oolong Soda 🥃
Very nice! Loved it!!! While the sis got some highball - took a sip and decided that I did not like it
She did not drink much either.
Not our thing.

Salmon, Duck, Egg 🥚 hahaha forgot the proper names. But it was goood~

Main course was... Dry... Meh.
Wasabi mayo salad... Not bad!
Garlic bread was damn good!
Fruits... Fresh 🤭 Ate the watermelon and strawberry only though

The seat could go all the way flat but I decided not to in case I had acid reflux hahah.
Fell asleep while watching Frozen 2.
The turbulence was strong siah, could feel my stomach contents shaking with it.
Air was super cold and dry I had to cover my face with jacket and the duvet 
to contain some warmth and water vapour.
For a moment I really thought that I was going to have a nose bleed.

Descend and touch down~

Proceeding with immigration clearance 😁 Hello TW!
Oh and yes, SG passport can now use the e-gates in Taiwan!

Collected our wifi device which we had rented via KLOOK!

Topped up our Easycard at 7-11~
Skipped breakfast as we were still not hungry







High-Speed Rail towards Taichung!

Alighted after approx 40 min
Face swollen, am tired of the long journey. Can't wait to finally rest~

Had lunch after getting off the train
台中高铁食堂
The pork cutlet was SUPERB! The pumpkin croquet was nice too! 
Glad to be able to fill the tum, was just getting hungry!

Waiting for our 小黄车
The driver that came was super chatty 😂 
he even opened the windows to let us take a whiff of the ?chlorophyll smell 🤣 
and see the rain from the car roof window 😅
Uhhh... Thank you? But yes, thank you for the safe and smooth ride!
