Aiden was throwing tantrum early in the morning.
So I took Jadynn to roam around as he and Mommy stayed back at the hotel.
Slight shower in the morning, although we don’t have any plans today so no rain on the party.
Taking a bus ride to our lunch spot. Bought so many umbrellas during this trip both in Taiwan and Japan.
Jadynn loves to sit on her own.
They both can’t sit still!
The Kawaii pose.
haha, and this is something Aiden is copying Jadynn.
Jadynn doesn’t really know what’s going on, except that she is enjoying the ride.
Still teething
She’s so glad Aiden is out with us.
Although she didn’t miss him much on her journey with Daddy, since she was sleeping during that time.
She’s going through the body parts that she knows.
It’s more fun with the whole family together
That’s why Jadynn often does her roll call of all of us.
Now she knows to count herself as well.
Take Five. we are here for lunch.
Huge avocado.
Bread cost money, but ours was on the house.
Had a teaching moment with Aiden to go through the five senses and why you enjoy food more that way.
They ran our of the salad with soft shell crabs – Poor Mommy
Something to try if 4 people hanging out
Nice shelf – we didn’t buy anything though
Other items you can buy
Had to make sure the kids stayed away from the glass jars
more stuff you can buy for cooking
some interesting IPA they have.
Jadynn ate most of the bread
This was pretty good
Aiden wasn’t the loudest kid
It was a very relaxed pace
Avocado looks super yummy!
Monster Aiden would need 2 hands to carry them
Mushroom soup.
This of course is for Aiden
小卷墨魚燉飯.. one of the signature dish and part of the reason we came here for lunch.
Some korean influence in this dish
Focused on eating!
Jadynn approved.
Aiden’s preferred dessert
Mont Blanc
Aiden devoured more than half of this dessert
Taste was not too sweet
Chestnut in season, and this is so yummy. Everyone loves it.
More silly pics with Aiden
So much fun with this little guy.
… when he is not throwing a tantrum.
That’s what Aiden loves most – Fun!
Then he is really engaged
All this while Mommy is busy with Jadynn
Plenty of Aiden pictures – since he is starting to complain why all the pictures are of Jadynn
And of course mostly Monster pics
Rarely ever just a normal smilie face anymore
Jadynn still enjoying her bus ride.
so free without car seats
no more buckling her up
Mommy loves that even more than Jadynn
Because trying to get her to sit in a car seat is really frustrating
And we know upon return to the States, it will be a nightmare for Mommy
Waiting to eat
Vacationing with 2 kids is very tiring.
無老鍋, a restaurant highly recommended by Auntie Barbara
Awesome – there’s a special.
But don’t take your sweet time or you will be kicked out.
But their service was not rude and mean at all
Their service made us more warm than the hot pot.
This is the soup base we got.. ice-cream tofu pot.
We did not go for spicy
$14 for a mixed seafood platter.. so cheap
Lots of choices
Good quality food
Great recommendation from Auntie Barbara
Here’s some reading if you in the mood.
the 豬紅 taste so good. those from US is just not the same.
This is definitely better than expected.
Although Aiden wasn’t in the mood and didn’t dive into these items like we thought he would.
Big plate.
They are promoting US beef, but nay for us. We went for the pork
Chinese donut, go so well with the soup base.
The waitress here is so 細心. She saw me holding Jadynn to sleep and pull out two chairs for her to sleep on.
She even got her a blankie. Very good service. I highly praised her in the customer survey.
you just don’t see that kind of service anywhere else, maybe Japan is the only exception. We experienced the same later on. you will see.
pouring outside.
Time to wake her up. She got some much needed sleep
I feel like the chef is cutting up the whole Tuna fish here, so many C9 surrounding him and it’s just bread.
So much for waking her up..
We couldn’t possibly wake her up
She was held and slept some more
She hadn’t wanted to sleep since everything is so new to her
Aiden is super exhausted
Poor guy – jet lag and have to walk walk and walk some more
He wanted same service as Jadynn
But of course that is not possible
He is too heavy for the both of us
Awake and refreshed now!
No more resting for the parents
She is ready to do some searching!
Very easy to use zippers for her now
Since she was sleeping for so long, she was hungry
Had to get her some snacks and milk
Because she was cranky
But fun in Taiwan is over
So short and got to go
Jadynn does not want to wait around while we wait for the taxi
Checking out of the hotel before dawn.
heading out to TPE airport his this morning.
We need to catch the 9am flight to Sapporo, transit at Kansai.
All is quiet
730 and we were the first batch to check in.
Checking out the lounge before flying out.
Comfortable sofas
Mommy and Jadynn waiting for the boys to grab the food
Plenty for us to eat
This isn’t the playground but she is just as happy
Salad, noodles, and porridge
Both noodles and the flavored egg taste good.
Western meal available
Some good protein
munch munch munch
We were the noisiest group in there.
They even have those flashy discs to let you know when food is ready
got some pudding and jello too.
Will leave soon
Aiden loves to look at the airplanes
Jadynn’s ticket come with the infant packet with some snacks and banana.
She loves banana
She finished the whole banana by herself
bye bye Eva
Hello Ana
Jadynn loves the remote control
Rainy day causing a lot of delay.
we were stuck at the runway for like 20 mins. A lot of incoming traffic
Jadynn was quick to fall asleep again
Cute kid’s meal
Beautiful view up in the sky
everybody ZzZZZzz
Sleeping like a oink oink.
3 hrs later, we are above Osaka
Great view!
Need to go back to Osaka one day.. haven’t been there since our Honeymoon
That was since back in 2010
