Stay at Taiwan: Sept 2012

Last two weeks we attended a course and conference at Taiwan. It was 4 hours flight from Singapore to Taipei. We were so happy and enjoying the bigger space in flight as we get the first row seat. We have been arranged to transfer to Caesar Park Taipei Hotel, located in the heart of Taipei City directly across from Taipei Main Station, it offers the most convenient access to Taiwan Railway, Taiwan High Speed Rail, Taipei Metro, buses and other major landmarks and attractions.  After a quick bath, we filled our stomach with some tasty taiwanese dumpling noodles and ru rou fan (卤肉饭) before started first class at night and follow by our late dinner at Tang Dynasty (糖朝). It's famous with its dessert and specialities Tauhua (豆花),  At here, we have tried tofu pudding in a cask (原木桶豆腐花) for splitting among multiple diners. It's taste very smooth. Next day, we took the MRT to the famous landmark, top brand shopping mall- Taipei 101 to have our fast shopping and lunch. Here

Flying with Firefly Airways

Last Saturday I am flying to Subang from Johor Bahru by Firefly. This is the first time flying with Firefly.   Firefly aircraft has its small body and  a pair of big fans. This small aircraft flies with its twin-turbop and is operated and subsidairy by MAS.   Although it was an hour flight only, they served us with some snacks like cake, pie or nuts and a drink during the fly. This mini aircraft has only 76 seats per aircraft. We were enjoyed taking Firefly because less crowd during boarding and landing at the Subang airport. Subang terminal is spacious and caters for turbo-prop domestic and also regional international commercial flights operated by Firefly and Berjaya Air. We have the feeling like VIP flight.   It is good to land at Subang airport because it is nearer to our hotel, The Garden Mall - Mid Valley Mall and the taxi fare only charged RM45. In the mean while, the flight time also suit to our schedule, JB-Subang 8.30am, while Subang-JB 8.10pm.   Thanks to Fire
