China: Cultural relics-inspired foods draw crowds to museum cafeterias across China
Storyline: Cultural relics-inspired foods draw crowds to museum cafeterias across China [Voice_over] Museums across China are turning their cafeterias into cultural showcases, serving up dishes recreated in the likeness of ancient relics as a way to draw new visitors. At the Hebei Museum in northern China, a bronze sculpture of a kneeling palace maid holding a lamp has been turned into a menu item. A miniature version of the statue has been recreated using steamed eggs and is now a part of beef noodle dish that’s drawing crowds of patrons. In central China’s Hubei Provincial Museum, another bronze artifact has been copied for a culinary experience. This time a spiced corned egg in the shape of the museum’s famous ceremonial bell but again served with beef noodles. Other snacks were also created to highlight museum pieces. [Sound_bite] Wang Liang, director, Cultural and Creative Development Department, Hubei Provincial Museum: "We wanted to combine the characteristics of the museum to create food that not only cater to visitors' taste buds but let them feel the relics and the culture in them." [Voice_over] In central China's Henan Anyang Yin Ruins Museum, the "Oracle Bone Script Noodles" have become a sensation. Served steaming hot, the noodles feature oracle bone script characters, many carrying auspicious messages. The noodles have become a best seller with weekend and holiday orders topping out at 500 to 600 per day. [Sound_bite] Xie Fei, visitor from east China's Qingdao City: "They feature the oracle bone scripts that contain very auspicious messages like wishes for good fortune, and prosperity. When we saw it online, we thought we must come and taste them." [Voice_over] The Yin Ruins, which were added to UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 2006 date back to 1300-1046 B.C. and are considered China’s oldest inscriptions.
