“Jungle Voice,” a new reality singing competition show, is set to launch on ETtoday’s app and Facebook page this evening, and on TTV and CiTV on Sunday evening. Hosted by entertainer LuLu, the reality show has created a buzz by inviting pop singers Jam Hsiao and Yoga Lin as coaches. Both Hsiao and Lin shot to fame overnight from the 2007 reality singing competition series “One Million Star.”
The new show’s production house, QT Entertainment, was co-founded by Eastern Media Group founder Gary Wang and senior TV producer Wang Wei-chung. Each episode will cost as much as NT$10 million (about US$330,000) and provide an opportunity for talented young people to fulfill their dreams.
Over 1,000 star wannabes took part in the open audition in August, but only 110 contestants advanced through to the next round, including a few “second-generation stars.” Viewers can also vote for their favorite contestants via the apps of ETtoday and iM video platform.

Rice is an essential ingredient in Taiwanese cuisine. Many foods are made of rice, adding more variety to our cooking, such as rice cake, or “gui.” Wagui is made by steaming rice flour batter in a bowl. The term “gui” refers to a type of food made from rice, while “wa” refers to a bowl. The pronunciation of “gui” in Taiwanese Hokkien is similar to the word for “nobility” in Chinese, so it is common for people to prepare various types of gui, including wagui, as offerings to the gods or ancestors,. 米是台灣重要的主食,用米製成的食品十分多元,豐富我們的飲食,如米做成的「粿」。粿的意思是米做成的糕點,碗粿是將在來米漿倒入碗中蒸熟,因而得名。粿因為音同「貴」,因此碗粿等粿食常用作供品祭拜神明和祖先。 nobility (n.) 高貴,高尚;貴族 offering (n.) 供品 While Taiwan may not be
It’s no secret that Japanese people have a deep affection for noodles. Like in the rest of East Asia, noodles are an important staple food, second only to rice.

On Tuesday last week, the flame for this summer’s Paris Olympics was lit at the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games in southern Greece in a meticulously choreographed ceremony. It will then be carried through Greece for more than 5,000km before being handed over to French organizers at the Athens venue used for the first modern Olympics in 1896. The pageantry at Olympia has been an essential part of every Olympics for nearly 90 years since the Games in Berlin. It’s meant to provide an ineluctable link between the modern event and the ancient Greek original on which it was initially modelled. Once
Drive-through (or drive-thru) restaurants provide people with the immense convenience of being able to purchase and pick up meals without needing to leave their vehicles. These restaurants have been around for decades, and their success has spawned a number of equally handy services. The drive-through concept originated with the drive-in restaurant, the first of which was established in the US in 1921. Patrons would order and eat the food that was delivered to their cars by workers called “carhops.” Ten years later, a drive-through service was introduced, but it was not until 1947 that the first exclusively drive-through restaurant opened its
