Customer asks ‘handsome’ owner for extra sauce, gets entire bottle

2026-05-08

Add a little sweet talk to your delivery order, and you might get special treatment! Looking to get a little extra sauce, a customer added a message calling the owner handsome. Surprisingly, it worked. They ended up getting a massive bag of ketchup and an entire bottle of chili sauce with their order, much to the amusement of people online. But the owner also joked that if everyone started doing this, he would go out of business.

While ordering delivery, this customer left a note asking for more chili sauce and ketchup “pretty please,” calling the owner handsome. To their surprise, the owner generously included an entire bag of ketchup and a bottle of chili sauce with their order.

I would probably ask directly, you know. Just ask if they can add some extra sauce.

Member of public
Especially if you’re a regular, a little sweet talk usually works. Anyone who’s worked in the service industry knows that if everyone asks for extra, the costs could get pretty high.

The customer ordered beef stir-fried noodles with a soft-boiled egg and a fried-food platter. Thanks to their kind words, the owner decided to include a generous bonus. A post about the interaction went viral, with commenters saying that they love a boss who answers every request. The owner himself jokingly asked his customers to use the strategy sparingly, since his next shipment won’t arrive until next week.

Mr. Hsiao
Restaurant owner
People like to add comments when ordering online. I also like to interact with customers like that. So I figured, why not? I’ll give them an entire bag. But I’ll only do this with regulars I know well. Costs have gone up a lot lately.

While a little flattery might go a long way, the owner kindly reminded his customers that if everyone makes such requests, he might not be able to afford anything else.

Rock band led by ER doctor inspires students nationwide to cherish life

Tainan ER physician Su Shih-yang formed the band Rose Tomb 18 years ago. Over that time, they’ve given around 500 free concerts at schools around the country. By conveying his experiences in the emergency room through music, Su hopes to inspire students to cherish their one life.

A rock band performs on a stage. The lead singer in all black gives moving vocals, fully immersing the students in the audience. You’d never think that when he’s not on stage, he works in the ER.

Now in a white doctor’s coat, he tends to a patient in the ER. This is Su Shih-yang, the attending physician in Tainan Municipal Hospital’s emergency room. Eighteen years ago, he formed the rock band Rose Tomb, which has since been to schools around the country to give free concerts.

Su Shih-yang
Rose Tomb founder
A band teaching life lessons, and a rock band, no less. It always ends up exceeding their expectations. They never thought that music could speak to life itself, even changing the students’ behaviors and influencing their habits.

Chao Chia-lin
Drummer and lead singer
Doctor Su found me. He said he needed a drummer and asked if I wanted to try it out. I never imagined I’d be so moved by his writing, even to this day.

Musician
I’m over 70. To live in a way that makes me feel more alive and has meaning—I believe that’s my greatest contribution.

That day, we started emergency treatment at 3 o’clock. By 4, there was no response. By 5 there was no response. Finally, at 5:30, we declared our efforts unsuccessful.

By setting to music his own experiences with life and death in the ER, it conveys the preciousness and fragility of life. Su hopes his music can inspire the students to cherish life, while also warning them away from drugs. He’s now performed nearly 500 times all around Taiwan.

Some people have to struggle just to stay alive. It makes me realize how lucky I am to be alive and well right now.

Chia Hwa Senior High teacher
It was really a tear-jerker. Very inspiring. You should cherish life more.

Rose Tomb was even invited to perform at the New Year’s Day flag-raising ceremony in front of the Presidential Office in Taipei, giving their music a chance to reach more people.

Dentist’s singing and dancing videos go viral

Dentists are always viewed as serious and professional. But one dentist in Kaohsiung has been posting reels of himself singing and dancing, including a cover of Gigi Leung’s hit song Coward that went viral. People were charmed by his voice and charisma, encouraging him to keep entertaining.

Wearing his professional white coat, a dentist sings a classic Mandopop song, nailing the choreography.

He also performs viral dances, staying on trend. But this dentist doesn’t consider himself an influencer. In fact he’s quite new to the world of social media.

Kuo Hsiao-wei
Dentist
I have a strong desire to share things, so I created my own account online and started posting some videos of myself singing for people to watch.

The 43-year-old Dr. Kuo has been working as a dentist for over a decade. Last year he decided to merge his profession with his hobby and started posting singing videos on social media. Now, he’s gone viral.

Kuo Hsiao-wei
Dentist
I was mentally prepared for the fact that a chubby guy dancing would get teased a lot online. I really didn’t expect the response to be so positive. People have been so encouraging.

Turning the clinic into his stage, Dr. Kuo shoots reels during his time off. Since he isn’t a dancer, he watches videos to ingrain the choreography in his memory. It takes him up to six hours just to learn and shoot a 30-second video.

Member of public
Likes the show
I figured we’d have more to talk about, and it makes me more willing to open up and face the dentist.

Member of public
Likes the show
Some kids cry whenever they see the dentist. But kids like watching him singing and dancing, and then adults don’t have to keep comforting them.

Thanking his fans, Dr. Kuo said he’ll keep pursuing his hobby while maintaining his dental practice. He will continue singing and dancing, spreading joy in a generally serious profession.

Shop owner punctures tire to warn against indiscriminate parking

An auto-repair shop owner in Taichung went viral after sticking a nail in the tire of a car parked outside his shop and posting it online, warning people not to park in inappropriate places. It turns out it was his own car wheel that he punctured, all to prove his point.

An auto-repair shop owner punctured his own tire with a nail. People were shocked and posted about it online, generating a lot of buzz.

Voice of auto-repair shop owner
Punctured own tire
It’s my own car, my personal car. I did it mainly to vent, because this is a business, but residents or strangers often park their cars at the entrance, one, two, or even three times. Honestly, it causes a lot of problems for my shop.

The owner said that people often park outside his shop in Taichung’s Nantun District, blocking staff from coming and going. He stuck a nail in his car tire to tell people that parking where you shouldn’t causes a lot of problems. But he never expected that so many people would discuss his post online.

Voice of auto-repair shop owner
Punctured own tire
If it’s a screenshot that someone then reposts, and they go on to make up a story based on the image, creating their own narrative and reasons for it, trying to stir things up, that’s beyond my control. If it’s done with malicious intent, I will seek legal advice from my lawyer.

This kind of cavalier parking is not only a problem for the shop, but for local residents as well.

Resident
Commenting on parking
Sometimes two cars will park, one behind the other or side by side.

Resident
Commenting on parking
I said, excuse me, but if you’re going to park here again, can you please leave your phone number? He shouted, “Is the road yours?” I don’t mind letting people park, but I want to be able to contact them.

The shop owner hoped that puncturing his tire would warn people not to just park wherever they please. His post unexpectedly caused quite the controversy.

Former top baseball player is now star dumplings chef

In Kaohsiung’s Renwu District, there’s an eatery owned by former baseball star Chen Cheng-chung. Chen was in the CPBL’s Mercuries Tigers team and was the league’s first player in history to hit a grand slam. After his career as a sports star ended, he took over his family’s dumplings business over two decades ago. Let’s meet Chen and find out about his delicious dumplings.

The proprietor skillfully stirs the dumplings in a pot to prevent them from sticking to each other. After about eight minutes, a plate of dumplings is ready to be served.

A dumpling wrapper is gently opened to reveal a generous filling inside. The dumplings come in a variety of flavors, including beef, shrimp and kidney beans. At mealtimes, the eatery is always packed with customers.

Customer
Eating at Chen’s restaurant
It feels just like something cooked at home. I don’t feel like there are many additives. I think they are made with very natural ingredients.

Customer
Eating at Chen’s restaurant
I find this quite inspiring because baseball isn’t something you can do for a lifetime. It’s not easy to find another career, and you’ve got to be willing make sacrifices.

Regulars know that the proprietor, who has developed so many delicious dumplings, was once a national baseball player.

- This photo was taken at the White House; the person on the right is President Ford.

Not only was Chen Cheng-chung part of the Taiwanese team that won the Little League championship in the US in 1974, but he was also the first player in the CPBL to hit a grand slam. After taking over the family dumpling business, Chen said he started from scratch making dumplings and he went through a long adjustment period.

Chen Cheng-chung
Former CPBL baseball player
Making dumplings is actually my family’s business. People told us how to make them, but it still took about two and a half years before things finally stabilized. We tried many things and made many mistakes. We didn’t know which type of pork was best for making dumplings. Each type of pork requires a different combination of ingredients, and that only comes from experience, so we were still figuring it out at that time.

His former career as a player also attracts many longtime fans, some of whom travel from far away to see him.

Chen Cheng-chung
Former CPBL player
Several years ago, a couple came down from Taipei. After we finished eating, the husband took out a ball and said, “This is the ball from the grand slam you hit.” When he handed it to me, I was really happy and thought, “The fans still haven’t forgotten.”

When Chen’s former teammates visit Kaohsiung, they make a point of greeting him. Even after shedding his star player aura and changing his career, he’s still continuing to make an impact thanks to his dumplings.

Lai receives Paraguay president with full military honors in Taipei

President Lai Ching-te on Friday received the President of Paraguay Santiago Peña at the Presidential Office. The dignitary was welcomed with full military honors and a 21-gun salute. During their meeting inside, Lai presented Peña with the Order of Brilliant Jade with Grand Cordon in recognition of his efforts to strengthen Taiwan-Paraguay relations and for repeatedly voicing support for Taiwan at international events. The two leaders also witnessed the signing of four memorandums of understanding, including cooperation on AI computing capacity and Taiwan’s import of Paraguayan poultry products. Let’s hear more.

Lai Ching-te
President
Since taking office, President Peña has continued to support the various cooperation projects between our two countries and has spoken up for Taiwan on many important international occasions. Taiwan, which cherishes freedom and peace, will continue to stand together with Paraguay and with every partner that supports Taiwan in a steady and responsible manner.

Santiago Pena
President of Paraguay
Paraguay will continue to be Taiwan’s strongest ally, standing side by side in international forums and firmly defending Taiwan’s right to actively participate in the democratic international system. This is Paraguay’s unwavering commitment.

Before visiting Taiwan, Peña made a stopover in Los Angeles, where he met the newly elected president of Honduras, a country that was a diplomatic ally of Taiwan until 2023. During the meeting, Peña reportedly spoke about Paraguay’s experience cooperating with Taiwan, which piqued the interest of the Honduran leader. Media outlets have reported that the new Honduran government is reassessing whether its switching of allegiance to Beijing was actually in the country’s interests. And now that the pro-China party has been defeated, it could present an opportunity for Taiwan and Honduras to restore bilateral ties.

‘Rub’n it comes out’ ice lolly video creeps out high school

A video of an ice lolly melting in the sun has creeped out students at an all-girls high school in Tainan, for its sexually suggestive nature. That’s because the video is an artwork at an exhibition by a male master’s student, titled “Rub’n it comes out.” The video is taken from the point of view of the artist, who is holding up the frozen treat outside the high school. But the focus of the video is the underage female students walking back and forth in the background. The connotations of the work are crystal clear, and even back at the time of filming, school security was called to stop him. Let’s hear more.

- I focused on the
middle school girls in the back
moving around.

In this work of art, the artist stood at the entrance to an all-girls school, and filmed himself holding an ice lolly melting in his hand. The process was… interesting to say the least.

- When I was filming,
some parents were waiting
for their kids to get out.
Some were scared,
they thought I was a weirdo,
so they called security.

The video was shot outside National Tainan Girls’ Senior High School without prior permission. The artist faced some pushback while filming, but that didn’t stop him from ultimately putting up the work in his solo exhibition, titled: “Rub’n It Comes Out.” Needless to say, the sexually- charged work has grossed out many students.

Voice of student
National Tainan Girls’ Senior High School
He filmed students passing by, holding the ice lolly, which was white. It’s creepy.

Voice of student
National Tainan Girls’ Senior High School
And the focus is on the girls walking in the background. As students and girls, we feel like he’s objectifying us.

Member of public
Weighing in on artwork
I think he’s trying to pass off his indecent behavior as art. He didn’t even get consent from any of the students.

The Tainan Cultural Affairs Bureau ultimately determined that the exhibition violated the rights and privacy of minors. The works by the artist in question were removed, and the government revoked subsidies for the first half of the year for the gallery holding the show.

Huang Ya-ling
Tainan Cultural Affairs Bureau
We contacted the art gallery and told them to take down all his works. We’ve also decided to revoke the subsidy.

The artist, who is a master’s student at Tainan National University of the Arts has released an apology. But Tainan Senior High has refused it, reported the case to the police and filed a gender equality report against the university. Police say the case is being handled in accordance with the Child and Juvenile Welfare and Rights Protection Act.
