The Witch Cat restaurant, a small eatery in Yunlin County’s Douliu City, has grabbed headlines around the world for its new dish, dubbed ‘Godzilla ramen’ by netizens.

This new and bizarre recipe, which the Western Taiwanese restaurant promotes as ‘thick witch crocodile ramen’, features a crocodile leg dangling from the bowl.

While crocodile meat-based dishes are fairly common in Taiwan and other parts of Asia, it is the unique presentation of Godzilla ramen that has led to the internet talking about it.

Godzilla ramen has crocodile leg crawling out of it

The bizarre concoction features a bowl filled with noodles and soupy broth – and a crocodile leg which seems like it is crawling out of the bowl.

The restaurant posted a video on its Facebook page in which a woman can be seen tasting the dish, terming it ‘surprisingly delightful’. She further explains that the crocodile leg tastes like pork feet in the parts where it is braised, and like chicken meat in the parts where it is steamed. The crocodiles used in the Godzilla ramen dish are sourced from a farm in Taitung City, Taiwan.

According to the eatery, “The witch [ramen soup] uses more than forty kinds of natural spices and fresh ingredients to cook, and then injects the idea of love into the soup, mixes all elements and energy, and finally boils all kinds of expressions of love that belong to you.”

Restaurant says customers are ‘afraid’ to try Godzilla ramen

The Witch Cat ramen restaurant said that despite the social media frenzy caused by the dish, few people are actually willing to have a go at it. According to them, while customers are flocking to the eatery to take pictures of the dish, they are ‘afraid’ to taste it themselves. “There are no customers [willing] to try [the dish],” the eatery said.

So far, only a few food bloggers have had the dish.

The Godzilla ramen dish costs about NT$1,500 (approximately ₹4,000) per bowl and requires previous online booking.

According to the restaurant’s Facebook page, Taiwanese actor Ning Chang visited the restaurant and complimented their beef noodle.
