Taiwanese Food-Blogger Jailed For A Bad Noodle Review
24 Jun 2011 by liam kruger in Food, Politics, Vibe, World
Wonderful. A Taiwanese court ruled this week that a female food-blogger’s claim that a local restaurant’s beef noodles “were too salty” justified 30 days in detention, and two years of probation. Even better, she has to pay 200,000 Taiwenese dollars (about 50K ZAR) in compensation to the restaurant.
Liu, the writer, also reported that she’d d seen cockroaches scurrying around the restaurant – which the courts didn’t seem to think was a big deal. Rather, they ruled that “Ms. Liu should not have criticized all the restaurant’s food as too salty because she only had one dish on her single visit.”
Say the Taipei Times:
Huang Cheng-lee (黃呈利), a lawyer in Taichung, said that bloggers who post food reviews should remember to be truthful in their commentary and supplement their comments with photographs to protect themselves.
The restaurant owner said “he hoped the case would teach her a lesson.” And since I’m not in Taiwan, I’m allowed to call this a dick move.
