Taiwan's Godzilla Ramen

This special dish by a Taiwanese restaurant in Douliu City, Yunlin County, has got its name from its main ingredient — crocodile meat. The use of this exotic meat and of course its spooky presentation is what has got the internet talking. Notably, eating crocodile meat is very common in Asian countries. Speaking about this particular viral dish, it is basically prepared by steaming or braising the front leg of a crocodile.

A woman recently also shared a video of tasting the viral dish, which she describes as “surprisingly delicious.” She also mentioned that the dish's braised meat tastes like pork feet, and its steamed version tastes like chicken.

"Try Witch Noodle Soup," she wrote the name of the dish in the caption.

Notably, the dish which goes by the name of Godzilla Ramen contains over 40 different spices, along with different kinds of meat and a claw of a crocodile dangling outside the bowl.

Even on Twitter, a phot of the dish was shared.
