A 14-legged giant isopod is the highlight of a new dish at a ramen restaurant in Taipei and it has people queuing up — both for pictures and for a bite from this unusual bowl of noodles.
Since the The Ramen Boy launched the limited-edition noodle bowl on May 22, declaring in a social media post that it had "finally got this dream ingredient", more than 100 people have joined a waiting list to dine at the restaurant.
"It is so attractive because of its appearance — it looks very cute," said the 37-year-old owner of the restaurant, who wanted to be identified only as Mr Hu, as he held up a giant isopod while customers took pictures.
