----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last day of our trip. Wake up to hunt for food.

Breakfast was at a bakery!

And dessert is mango ice cream!

After breakfast, we walked around and some last minute shopping as usual.

Travelling from Taipei to Taoyuan Airport is around an hour car ride.
Although public transport is readily available, it is more convenient for us since we can share the cost as well and have more time to shop around.

At Taoyuan Airport, there is a food court with many choices.

 My Lunch

And the sky view is my dessert!! (Luckily no delay this time round. And we were allocated the seats with extra space at no additional cost!!)




That's the end of my Taiwan 2014 trip...

CNY again, time for some baking... with my new electrical appliance in my kitchen... AIR FRYER! My microwave oven has been quite cranky (the plate doesn't rotate 90% of the time) so I tried using air fryer and it worked just fine! Air Fryer Setting - temperature @ 160C - timer set to 12 minutes This time round, I changed the recipe to Batch 1 : Ingredients a. 70g almond b. 20g pumpkin seeds c. 10g sunflower seeds d. 50g-70g florentine powder Batch 2: Ingredients a. 70g butter almond b. 20g pumpkin seeds c. 10g sunflower seeds d. 100g florentine powder Instruction: 1. In a large bowl, simply mixed almond, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds (ingredient a-c) and stir in florentine powder a tablespoon at a time for easier mixing. 2. Spread onto the air fryer baking tray. (Note: to line the baking tray with baking paper) 3. Set air fryer temperature to 160C and timer set to 12 minutes 4. Keep tabs on the almond florentine, once turn brown, it's time to re
