台湾一间拉面店推出“哥斯拉鳄鱼拉面”

Taiwan’s Lamian noodles has been increasingly strange in the last few weeks. It all started with the isopod (等足类动物) Lamian we introduced at the end of last month, which featured a giant isopod as the main ingredient. Then it was the “Frog Frog Frog Lamian”, which featured a giant unpeeled frog, and recently another Yunlin area “delicacy” caught our attention, a crocodile (鳄鱼) Lamian named “Godzilla Ramen”. The dish is reportedly made with 40 different spices, but the main ingredient literally sticking out of the bowl is a cooked crocodile leg.

Announced in a popular post, Godzilla Ramen was inspired by the popular isopod Lamian that everyone in Taiwan seemed to be talking about at the end of last month. Seeking the same crazy amount of attention from potential customers, the owner of a Lamian shop in Douliu City, Taiwan’s Yunlin County, came up with an even more shocking variety. Having learned how to cook crocodile soup during a trip to Thailand, the owner of the Witch Cat Lamian restaurant, designed the Godzilla Ramen recipe and began promoting it online, to great effect, so far. Photos of Lamian bowls with crocodile legs sticking out of them spread like wildfire on social media. The crocodile legs for the Godzilla Ramen are reportedly sourced from a crocodile farm in Taitung, but the farm can only supply enough ingredients for a couple of Lamian bowls per day, so the dish has to be ordered in advance to ensure availability. A bowl of Godzilla Ramen is priced at NT$1,500 (about 350 RMB). Apparently, the restaurant also has an NT$100 “food waste fee” for people who order the dish just for photos, without actually eating the dish.

Godzilla Ramen has been getting a lot of attention online, but the feedback so far has been generally negative, with many people accusing Witch Car of shameless marketing. They think the duration will definitely be relatively short. “This is just terrible! Who would dare to eat this? Just looking at this is horrible!” one person commented.
