Decked out in a chef's hat, white uniform and hygiene mask, the robot chef has been drawing big crowds and long queues at a university canteen in southern Guangdong province, according to Chinese media reports. Knife-shaved noodles, known as "dao xiao mian" in Chinese, are a Shanxi speciality. The machine cost about 5,000 yuan (RM3,163), the canteen manager, surnamed Dong, told news website Stnn.cc. On its first day at work, the robot chef had already made 400 bowls of noodles, greatly improving efficiency, he said. The robot chef also caused a stir online, with internet users questioning if its noodles tasted authentic.
