Warm soya bean milk served at the eating area.
The breakfast served is mainly a combination of western and eastern breakfast, we had rice porridge with pickled or salted items, I liked the porridge. Tango also serves western pastries like croissant, bread, egg omelette
Croissant
Rice porridge with vegetables and pickled items, tasty.
Tango Nanshi eating area.
Pickled item on the left with a choice rice or porridge and also breads and pastries on the far right.
Although Taiwan has lots of street food, I'm a strong advocate of complimentary breakfasts, as we need to fill up out stomach and be ready for the energy demand of a day travel.
Taipei city has lots of big building but I kinda felt the design and the architecture of the building resembles the 1980s, at the heart of Taipei, many old high rise still exists giving it a hue of it's golden era in the 80s and 90s.
One of the newer architecture building.
Most of Taipei city buildings are somewhat dated like this. Still lots of construction is going on.
One of the places of visit in our travel itinerary is to visit the miniature museum of Taiwan. Located about 20 minutes walk from the nearest MRT station, it was quite a walk. Most of the people that we approached are quite helpful, however, most are not sure of the landmark around Taipei city.
Located at the basement of a high rise building.
One thing to note, flash and tripod are not allowed inside the museum, that really restricts the freedom of photography, with the dark lighting ambiance, it is a struggle to capture nice photos.
Majority of the miniatures are of 1.5 feet wide and 1 feet in height(18"x12") . The details of the miniatures are breathtaking, however, all of these miniatures are not built by Taiwanese.
This lamp is of the size of my thumbnail, literally my thumbnail, I "bull" you not.
The builder of the miniatures is Brooke Tucker.
Nice living room with such intricate details.
Staircase with a nice chandelier
A very nice kitchen with so much details.
Typical 1800s American design.
A nice living room with enough details to mesmerize, notice the newspaper under the chair and the wine rack on the right.
Wine rack closeup, the cupboard and rack is probably slightly bigger than the size of 50 cent coin.
At the edge on my lens can handle, the details is so intricate to the newspaper level.
Another very realistic miniature model.
Wide view of the miniatures in display.
A palace with all miniatures.
Venice is just very much smaller.
Cowboy town with a running train.
Arch of Constantine ? Very much smaller, but full with the details.
A glimpse of the miniature model in display.
Another miniature model.
Close up on the model.
After much oogling at the miniatures, need to go take some food...
