Customer finds rat in Taipei 101 stylish restaurant

The man, surnamed Chai, said he and his foreign guest hadn’t finished dinning yet on Feb. 2, when a small rat scrambled quickly from the shopping mall into Minhan 101, and then towards the kitchen.

“That was disgusting,” he said to the Taipei-based Apple Daily.

“The Taipei 101 is a national landmark visited by numerous foreigners,” Chai went on, while noting that somebody must take responsibility for the incident.

Ratatouille is about a rat named Remy, who dreams of becoming a great chef despite his father’s wishes and the fact that being a rat is a serious handicap in a decidedly rodent-phobic profession.

Despite the apparent dangers of being a rat in the kitchen at one of Paris’ most famous restaurants, Remy forms an unlikely partnership with an apprentice, who inadvertently discovers the rat’s amazing cooking talents.

Nonetheless, Chai did not enjoy the Taiwan version of the animation movie, and voiced his complaints to the restaurant’s management, which eventually offered him a special discount.

Rat-eradication campaigns on the fourth floor will be increased, up from two disinfections per moths, Wang Yen-chi, spokesperson for Taipei 101 said.

Further, officials from the Taipei City Department of Health said to local media that health inspectors will be dispatched and a thorough review of the Taipei 101 restaurant inspection policy will be conducted.
