(ODDITY CENTRAL) – A ramen restaurant in Yunlin, Taiwan, recently unveiled its latest menu entry – Godzilla Ramen, a bowl of ramen soup with a braised crocodile leg sticking out of it.
Taiwanese ramen has been getting weirder and weirder in the last few weeks. It all started with the isopod ramen we featured at the end of last month, which featured a giant isopod as the main ingredient. Then it was the ‘Frog Frog Frog Ramen‘ by Yuan Ramen, which featured a giant unpeeled frog, and recently culminated with another Yunlin area ‘delicacy’, a crocodile ramen aptly named ‘Godzilla Ramen’. The dish is reportedly made with 40 different spices, but the main ingredient literally sticking out of the bowl is a braised crocodile leg.
Announced in a now-viral Facebook post, Godzilla Ramen was allegedly inspired by the popular isopod ramen that everyone in Taiwan seemed to be talking about at the end of last month. Seeking the same crazy amount of attention from potential patrons, the owner of a ramen shop in Douliu City, Taiwan’s Yunlin County, came up with an even more shocking variety.
