Godzilla Ramen – with a crocodile’s foot hanging from the edge of the bowl – is a hit in Taiwan

A small Taiwanese restaurant is getting mixed reactions online thanks to a hideous dish it invented – that no one dares to try.

The Yunlin-based eatery, dubbed Godzilla Ramen by Internet users, calls their creation “fat witch crocodile ramen.”

It shows a crocodile’s leg sticking out of a bowl filled with noodles and broth, almost as if it were crawling out.

The Witch Cat ramen restaurant, perhaps unsurprisingly, has had no takers for the bizarre dish.

They explained to local media that visitors want to take pictures for social media but are ‘afraid’ to taste it, explaining ‘there are no customers’ [willing] to attempt’.

They say: ‘The witch uses more than forty kinds of natural herbs and fresh ingredients for cooking, and then injects the idea of ​​love into the soup, mixes all the elements and energy, and finally cooks all kinds of expressions of love that belong to you. .’

While romantic feelings are the last thing a crocodile foot soup can make you feel, the restaurant’s flowery explanation of its effects suggests diners may “blush.”

“Your heart is beating, you may not be able to help yourself, you may be short of breath, drink it, and you will see through all appearances and awaken the purest and unconditional love in your heart,” the eatery suggests.

However, most social media users weren’t as enamored with the dish as the creators had hoped.

Negative comments included people saying it’s “a bit dingy” and “doesn’t look good.”

Another suggested they not taste the soup: “Vomit vomit, can’t it, it’s too creepy, it reminds me of turtles.”

In the positive camp, adventurous eaters made comments like “I’m open to it” and “this should have a manicure to look hotter.”

The theatrical dish is reportedly inspired by a ramen that went viral in May — featuring a 14-legged crustacean called an isopod

The restaurant added, “Those who dare not eat crocodile are welcome to try another pork, beef and seafood noodle soup.”

The giant isopod had people queuing in Taipei — both for photos and to try a bite from the bowl of noodles beneath the massive creature.

“The Ramen Boy” launched the limited-edition noodle bowl on May 22, stating in a social media post that it “finally had this dream ingredient.”

The restaurant steams the isopod for 10 minutes before adding it to a bowl of ramen with thick chicken and fish stock. Each bowl costs 1,480 Taiwan dollars ($48)

More than 100 people joined a waiting list to dine at the restaurant, with people claiming it tasted like a cross between crab and lobster.

“It’s so attractive because of its appearance — it looks really cute,” said the restaurant’s 37-year-old owner, who asked to be identified only as Mr. Hu, holding up a giant isopod while customers took pictures.

“As for the cooking method, we use the simplest way, steam, so there is no problem processing it.”
