★ SCMP (2024-6-27): Taiwan private club serves "body sushi" where woman had her body painted with floral decorations and laid fully naked on a table with food (sushi and sashimi - high quality raw fish slices) covering her private parts. The guests dined directly off her body, but they had little memory of what they actually ate.

Though "Nyotaimori" sometimes criticised as humiliating, degrading, and sexist. One critic: This proves that people lose their humanity when they get rich.(By contrast, China outlawed nyotaimori on naked bodies )

pic.Google doodle celebrates Taiwan's sweet and tangy drink bubble tea
India Today, 2023-1-29:The unique drink that is sweet and tangy was popularised back in 2020. Countries like Singapore, Japan and South Korea have taken this drink to the next level with an ample amount of experiments msn.com/en-in/foodanddrink/foodnews/google-doodle-celebrates-taiwans-sweet-and-tangy-drink-bubble-tea/ar-AA16R1Tq

⊙

MarketPlace, 2024-3-14: The perfect cup of bubble tea is boiled down to a science. Tapioca pearls in Taiwan tend to have better bite than shops abroad because they are freshly cooked. Its popularity came down to the sweetness level as measured on the Brix scale. Most shops in Taiwan allow us to choose how much sugar and ice we want.

★ BBC, 2024-1-9: Taipei bears strong evidence of northern Chinese influence, from food to language. Taipei is a city of wheat noodles and dumplings, again northern fare. There are also plenty of excellent Shanghainese restaurants: a legacy of the exodus of much of that city's business elite as the communists took power.

★ Taiwan, full of bizarre foods - a whole big black frog in a bowl of noodle happytravel.tw/olm11/ Or a crocodile foot in a bowl of ramen

CNN (2023-6-30 edition.cnn.com/travel/crocodile-ramen-taiwan-intl-hnk/index.html), Next Shark (2023-6-27): “Godzilla Ramen” (eggs, pork, baby corn, dried bamboo shoots, black fungus and cubes of fish paste, topped with a crocodile leg) served at Witch Cat Kwai (女巫貓葵), a restaurant in Douliu City Yunlin County, asking (US$50) per bowl.

Crocodile ramen comes about one month after a Taipei restaurant went viral for serving ramen topped with a giant isopod, a 14-legged crustacean, and frog ramen introduced at Yuan Ramen in Yunlin .

★ Politico.eu, 2023-10-5: The international perception of Taiwanese food is stuck in the late 20th century... the components of the Taiwanese pantry are inherently unique to Taiwan. For example, some variants of Taiwanese soy sauce, rice wine and rice vinegar are made with recipes dating back to when Taiwan was a Japanese colony. 30 years ago, most people in Taiwan would consider Taiwanese food a subset of Chinese food, and while some people might hold that opinion today, they don't reflect the majority. As cross-Strait tensions build, so does the sense of a distinct Taiwanese identity and a growing pride in Taiwanese cuisine as a unique and diverse culinary tradition separate from that of China politico.eu/newsletter/china-watcher/taiwan-shivers-over-ukraine-funding-freeze/ PHELIM KINE
