Precision knife-cut noodles




If there's anything original that China can boast about, plus it is a new technology, then it has got to be this noodle-cutting robots. If you had ever tried making knife-cut noodles, you will understand the level of difficulty and energy needed to cook this dish.

But with this new robots, noodles will be sliced with precision and perfection so that every single strand would be similar, in terms of length, to the rest. Cui Runguan, the man behind this innovation, is mass-producing his robots for restaurants where having a robot is much cheaper than employing a human cook.

Indeed this is a wonderful piece of creation but China is still China after all. The robots, decked out in red and silver with a pair of glowing eyes, look similar to Ultraman.

Well, I guess it is just some marketing ploy. However, now that anti-Japanese sentiments are high in China and Ultraman originates from the land of the rising sun, I wonder if these robots would still be a hit.
