Also shining in the automation technologies is Yo-Kai Express, founded by Andy Lin (ꞗåæ—é“»). The start-up is behind the invention of a machine that can serve a bowl of hot noodles on demand in one minute, technology which has been adopted by hospitals and airports in the U.S. as well as companies like Netflix and SpaceX.

ā€œAnd with this machine, we can fire pork floss into a donut in only 27 milliseconds. Furthermore, if you look to your right, youā€™ll see our state-of-the-art Pizza Bobanator 4000, which can be adjusted for a variety of weird toppings, including tapioca balls, Oreos, and, with the optional clump sprayer upgrade, pigā€™s blood.ā€

Thankfully the judges knew that if they didnā€™t give the Taiwanese pair an award, their moms were going to be fuming. International crisis avoided. :stuck_out_tongue:

Not in Paris, but in Franceā€™s Alpes-Maritimes, another Taiwanese baker does good!

Taiwanese baker Eric Hsu recently won first place in a ā€œking cakeā€ (galette des Rois) competition in the French department of Alpes-Maritimes.

In early December, he won the departmentā€™s first-ever king cake competition, which was organized by the Federation of Master Bakers and Bakers-Pastry Chefs of the Alpes-Maritimes (la FĆ©dĆ©ration des maĆ®tres boulangers et boulangers-PĆ¢tissiers des Alpes-Maritimes), and was subsequently labeled the ā€œKing of king cakeā€ by local media.

He is one of a pair of brothers from Miaoli who really learned how to bake. I remember the elder brotherā€™s baking at his shop in Xindian (unfortunately now closedā€”it was great!), but I donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever sampled Eric Hsuā€™s baking. If he wished, he could return to Taiwan and be a star.

Cool. Could they celebrate by making normal ovens standard in the kitchens of regular non-rich-person homes? That would be great. Thanks.
