糟糠之妻的日子

I set up this 3 days trip to count down the year of 2016.

Last year Keith and I had this year end trip in Tokyo but it's not as we expected, so this year we'll do it in Taiwan.

The whole trip starts from 12/30 to 1/1, and Keith and I are driving from Hsinchu to Yilan.

We only focus on Yilan Jiaoxi District to count down 2016 and celebrat the first day of 2017.

去年去了東京跨年，才知道那是他們的大日子，很多店家都休息，因此今年打算以三天兩夜宜蘭礁溪之旅了結2016開啟2017。

Day 1

Hsinchu-Shenkeng District-Yilan Jiaoxi District

Accommodation: Yunoyado Onsen B&B (check in 16:00)

Lunch: Shenkeng Tofu

Dinner: Mihan Jiaoxi

新竹-深坑-宜蘭礁溪

住宿：東旅湯宿

午餐：深坑臭豆腐

晚餐：三燔礁溪

The reason for stopping at Shenkeng district is all about the stinky tofu which is the local delicacy you should never miss it.

We decided to stay in hotsping b&b to feel the relaxing atmosphere in Jiaoxi at valuable room rate.

2 nights 8150 NTD/2 guest 1 room, based on early bird discount.

Dinner is the best part, I reserved a seat at Mihan Jiaoxi to taste the lobster hot pot. 1280+10%NTD/person with vegi and Haagen Dazs baffet.

The dinner is really at a great value that the beef is so tasty and the lobster is so fresh.

We then took a walk in the onsen part beside the b&b.

刻意停留深坑就是想一探臭豆腐的美味。

選擇溫泉民宿是考量價格與房內可以泡湯的悠閒氣氛，我以早鳥價格訂購，雙人房兩晚8150台幣。

晚餐選擇步行即可到達的三燔礁溪吃季節性推出的龍蝦火鍋套餐1280+10%台幣/人，有蔬菜吧與哈根達士冰淇淋無限吃。

(三燔礁溪肉質很好海鮮超級新鮮好吃，冰淇淋不用說了，超好挖，夏威夷果仁口味是我主餐了吧)

(I'm obssessed with Haagan Dazs)

民宿旁的湯圍溝公園滿適合飯後散步一下。

Day 2

Breakfast: Zheng How Steamed Juicy Meat Bun

Lunch: Ko's fried green onion cake

Afternoon Tea: Cafe' De Samuel

Dinner: Lin Bei Kao How Japanese Grill

早餐：正好鮮肉小籠湯包

午餐：柯氏蔥油餅

下午茶：初樂

晚餐：林北烤好礁溪店

Decided to visit Zheng How Steamed Juicy Meat Bun for breakfast although B&B has included breakfast too.

I've arrived at 10 AM, and que to get a number from the clerk.

I have to order in advance, and clerk told be to be back here after 50 minutes.

(冰奶茶+一籠湯包 Ice milk tea+1 serving steamed meat buns)

I got to tell you that the buns are perfect, and the way they handle with waiting customers is pretty nice too.

Then we went to the Yaokaoshanzhan village and the Yilan cake factory next to it.

We don't feel hunger so we move on to Wanglongbi where there is some pathway around a lake.

The lake is small and quiet, it'll only cost you less than an hour to walk thoroughly.

Luch is Ko's fried green onion cake which took us almost an hour queing for it.

I will not recommend it, because delicious green onion cakes are everywhere in Yilan.

This is not the most delicious one, but this took you an hour for it!!!

Afternnon tea in Cafe' De Samuel.

Dinner has reserved a seat at Lin Bei Kao How Japanese Grill.

早餐放棄的民宿的早餐把費，決定去排隊吃早上8:00開門的正好小籠湯包。

湯包的皮很薄而不爛，裏頭的肉還淌著肉汁，配上冰奶茶...靠好幸福。

因為不餓所以在山寨村跟亞典果子工廠待得不久，繼續前往望龍埤去走走步道。

午餐安排了柯氏蔥油餅，排了一小時看了兩場車禍，真是一個很不吉利的路口欸。

不過排了這麼久，看來跟宜蘭路上隨意一間蔥油餅差不多，還不用排隊。

下午茶了一間法式甜點店：初樂。

晚餐訂了位子在林北烤好串燒店。

Day 3

Breakfast: B&B breakfast buffet

早餐：民宿早餐把費

The homemade garlic spread is fantastic.

Although you can not say the breakfast choice is abundant, every dishes are delicious.

My favorite ones are the fried king trumpet mushroom with peas and Boeuf Bourguignon.

I will definitely go on a diet as soon as I left Yilan!!!

手工大蒜醬讓工程師難得在早上大嗑了兩片法國麵包跟一片吐司。

雖然早餐內容稱不上豐富，但每道菜都覺得好好吃喔。

最喜歡杏鮑菇炒四季豆跟紅酒燉牛肉搭配紅蔥肉燥飯，好的我離開宜蘭就會開始減肥了。
