2013 Taiwan Trip Day 6 ~ 境外漂流

19/6  花蓮賞鯨+市區慢遊180度看海→洄瀾海灣→坐船出海賞鯨→撒固兒步→道將軍府→
     從花蓮坐火車回台北

The above was the intended itinerary for the day. However, we started the day late due to a few reasons...






We woke up at about 5 plus in the morning to catch the sunrise. After crashing back into bed, we knocked out till about 8am. Oops. By then, my parents were already having their breakfast and raving about it...


Home-made soup with the freshest ingredients


Second or even third helpings are welcomed. Freshest ingredients from all over Taiwan.

Wanderlust's boss introducing every item on the plate


With the boss introducing every item (origin, how it was prepared...) on the plate to every guest and offering second helpings, you probably can understand why breakfast took a long time. The service was impressive. What surprised me was he promised a different breakfast each time the guest returns. His record is 10 times! 

Although service and food quality is top-notch, somehow it did not impress me for long. Not that I am someone fussy, but in my honest opinion, the service was professional yet something was lacking. Perhaps we did not managed to interact much with the boss and his wife? However, I must compliment them on their thoughtfulness by setting aside our tea set in the fridge knowing we will miss it (The accommodation comes with a tea set). There were 3 to 4 pieces of cakes and pastries in the box and we were told this was not even half the set! 




Besides providing a sumptuous breakfast and tea, instant noodles were provided too. No wonder the boss told us proudly that his HK guests did not have to go out for meals the whole day. ;p



The room was comfortable and spacious. It was generally clean but not the cleanest of all. 



Full-length window 

Some massage shower which I did not bother to use
 
Love the handle





Interesting structure



Generally, I would recommend this minsu which was awarded top by Yahoo in 2009. Make sure you catch the sunrise, take your time to slowly enjoy the food and simply laze around the garden or balcony. That will be a relaxing holiday. :)
