Taiwanese breakfast items soya milk and shaobing reflect identity distinct from that of China
While supporters say that Taiwanese cuisine is distinct, critics maintain it is merely a subset of Chinese cuisine. ST PHOTOS: YIP WAI YEE
– It is not yet 6am on a weekday, but the queue is already snaking outside Fuhang Soy Milk, Taiwan's most famous breakfast spot.
Tourists from all over the world flock to the Taipei eatery, bleary-eyed, to sample a 'traditional Taiwanese-style breakfast' that includes items such as shaobing, or baked flat bread, scallion pancakes and, of course, soya milk – both sweet and savoury.

Food Picks: Chengdu Bowl's flagship at Changi Airport offers Sichuan dishes with a speakeasy concept
SINGAPORE – Chengdu Bowl, a new self-styled speakeasy at Changi Airport Terminal 3, makes a half-hearted attempt at secrecy, disguised as it is behind a suspiciously flat vending machine stamped with the label 'pull'. Too bad the set-up is undermined by the fact that you can turn the corner and walk right into the restaurant anyway. Its gaping side – presumably meant to be concealed by an as-yet-underutilised curtain – beckons the trickle of diners who find themselves ambling around this corner of Terminal 3. Then again, no one seeks out Sichuan food for the intrigue. What diners come for is flavour – vivid, bold and bright. Crammed with enough spice to consign one to the toilet for the next half hour. And that it indeed delivers. Chengdu Bowl, which has three branches in the Central Business District, has swopped out its grain bowls for sharing dishes like la zi ji ($22.80). Mala xiao la (small spice) orderers, beware: This is not for the heat-shy. It pinches, it numbs. It parts to reveal pillows of cheesy rice cake, which offer some textual variety but do little to slow the burn. On the less potent side of the spice spectrum, assorted skewers are steeped in a piquant red chilli oil ($14.80), chicken is soaked in a bold mala broth and served with ramen noodles ($16.80) and beef sizzles on a hotplate ($23.80), its caramelised fat rendering into kailan and oyster mushrooms. But Chengdu Bowl does not want to be defined by firepower alone. As its menu proves, there is more to Sichuanese cuisine than la zi ji and mapo tofu. The silky prawn with luffa in golden broth ($26.80), for example, is a masterclass in how to deliver flavour without resorting to violence. Mom's homemade rice pot from Chengdu Bowl. PHOTO: CHENGDU BOWL Mom's homemade rice pot ($32.80) – a stodgy porridge of abalone, prawns and diced vegetables that is good for four or five diners – dabbles in similar flavours, but leans slightly towards the sweeter side. All in all, it is a hearty upgrade from Chengdu Bowl's usual offerings and a welcome addition to Changi Airport's culinary roster – with or without the clandestine thrill.

Train service between Moscow and North Korea's Pyongyang to resume in June, says Russia
Passenger rail traffic between Russia and North Korea was suspended in February 2020 at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. PHOTO: REUTERS Train service between Moscow and North Korea's Pyongyang to resume in June, says Russia MOSCOW - Russia and North Korea plan to restart a direct passenger train service between Moscow and the North Korean capital Pyongyang this month for the first time since 2020, Russia's state-owned rail monopoly said on June 9. Russian Railways said it had agreed with North Korea's railways ministry to resume a twice-monthly service between the two capitals on June 17, a journey it said took eight days and which, at over 10,000km, was the longest direct rail journey in the world. Another service between Pyongyang and Khabarovsk, a Russian city close to China's north-eastern border, will restart two days later. The services will be operated by Korean State Railway, the state operator, and in the case of the Moscow-Pyongyang route will see a North Korean passenger railcar hitched to the regular Moscow-Vladivostok service and then re-attached to another train. Passenger rail traffic between Russia and North Korea was suspended in February 2020 at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. Moscow and Pyongyang have since ratcheted up cooperation, including in the military sphere since President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed a comprehensive strategic partnership treaty in 2024. North Korea confirmed in late April that it had sent more than 10,000 troops and weapons to Russia to assist in its war in Ukraine, aid which proved crucial for Moscow in recapturing Russia's western Kursk region from Ukraine. The two countries already operate a passenger rail service between Vladivostok in Russia's Far East and Rason, a North Korean port city. The nations are also linked by freight rail networks, although Russia does not disclose the size of the cargo traffic.
