At first, I imagined going to the supermarket to buy ingredients for a hot and thick sour and spicy soup. Without much hesitation, I picked out wood ear mushrooms, carrots, soft tofu, green onions, enoki mushrooms, and eggs. Cooking sour and spicy soup is like an ingrained routine for me. Back home, I stripped down to bare essentials (because cooking can be hot work) and played my favorite electronic music. I adeptly sliced the ingredients into strips, and after cooking, the soup turned out fragrant, spicy, and delightfully flavorful.
In the second scenario, I went to a traditional market to buy ingredients for stir-fried shredded pork and egg-fried rice. In my memory, sour and spicy soup paired with fried rice is the best combination! After swiftly cutting the ingredients, I heated oil in the pan, stir-fried everything, and tossed the wok energetically. Soon, an incredibly fragrant and delicious fried rice was ready! Eating hot fried rice with sour and spicy soup made for a perfect meal.
However, this was just a guided imagination. As I relaxed and let go, my body entered a state where it craved more food. My mind started recalling the foods I had recently eaten and the situations in which I had them. Intuitively, a memory surfaced of a playful exchange with a good friend: "No matter what happens, bring me some braised instant noodles loaded with green onions." This simple yet profoundly satisfying dish can stand out with its unique style in any context. I am grateful to the inventor of braised instant noodles and would happily call them the God of Food.

Male（31-40 yrs）/ New Taipei City / 150-200 NTD per meal
Profound dining impressions were shaped by a meal after hiking in the Shueiyang Forest with friends. During the hike back to the trailhead, a sudden thunderstorm with heavy rain and lightning turned an easy path into a dangerous one, making the meal feel like a revival after a near-death experience.
If the end of the world were to come, he would choose to share the meal with his family, loved ones, and friends.
As for a family dish, he mentioned that if he could choose only one, it would be beef noodles, especially when made with his mom's care.

國立臺灣歷史博物館的第 1 個「公共飲食記憶 NFT 化」實驗計畫《超時空島嶼餐桌》
National Museum of Taiwan History's First NFT Experimental Project on Public Dining Memories《Time-Space Dining Tables》
「國立臺灣歷史博物館」為推動國家文化記憶庫之永續發展，融入當代議題、常民生活及在地關懷，連結博物館專業、數位創新思維與多元社群行動，以促進臺灣原生文化之活化運用，鼓勵全民共同開展記憶庫多元主題與主題素材近用。
本計畫案於112年推出《島嶼庫客 Islands Cooker》飲食記憶系列7支影片，探究臺灣飲食的歷史成因，113年延續「餐桌」的概念，加入「未來」元素，委由畸零地創造股份有限公司辦理《島嶼未來料理教室——NFT設計工作坊》，以記憶庫長期深耕之飲食記憶主題，透過非同質化代幣（Non-Fungible Token，以下簡稱 NFT）設計工作坊，增進記憶庫之內容與應用，落實臺灣原生文化之推廣。
《島嶼未來料理教室——NFT設計工作坊》以「推測設計」為核心，反思記憶料理的獨特性，其之於 NFT的當代意義及其飲食文化價值，並將工作坊延伸設計為「發掘身體飲食記憶，運用想像和推測來創造未來島嶼飲食文化」的參與式體驗活動。工作坊由編舞家與引導師，透過一連串的帶領、想像和對話，挖掘及連結蘊藏身體感知中的飲食記憶，並讓參與者書寫飲食記憶；接著由畸零地工作室與生成式AI 「ChatGPT 4o」協作製作出 「記憶食譜 NFT」及文字翻譯；最後線上場以「圍爐」的概念，讓參與者在雲端上互相分享與交流。
這些飲食記憶透過NFT不可替代、數位交換的特性，被永久保存並流傳，期望每個人都能回首屬於自己的飲食記憶和歷史，經由公共化的途徑與媒介，成為社會記憶的一部份，構築社群認同的可能。
To promote the sustainable development of the Taiwan Cultural Memory Bank, the National Museum of Taiwan History integrates contemporary issues, ordinary life, and local concerns. By combining museum expertise, digital innovation, and diverse community actions, it aims to revitalize and utilize Taiwan's indigenous culture. The museum encourages the public to collaboratively develop and access various themes and materials within the memory bank.
This project launched the "Islands Cooker" series of seven videos on culinary memories in 2023, exploring the historical origins of Taiwanese cuisine. Continuing with the concept of the "dining table" and incorporating "future" elements in 2024, the project entrusted Ground Zero Co., Ltd. to handle the "Islands Future Cuisine Classroom—NFT Design Workshop." By delving into the long-term themes of culinary memories from the Taiwan Cultural Memory Bank and utilizing the Non-Fungible Token (NFT) design workshop, the project aims to enhance the content and application of the memory bank, promoting the dissemination of Taiwan's indigenous culture.
The "Islands Future Cuisine Classroom—NFT Design Workshop" centers on "speculative design," reflecting on the uniqueness of memory cuisine and its contemporary significance and culinary cultural value in relation to NFTs. The workshop is extended into a participatory experiential activity, designed as "discovering culinary memories in body and using imagination and speculation to create future island culinary culture." The workshop, led by choreographers and facilitators, guides participants through a series of activities, including imagination and dialogue, to uncover and connect with culinary memories embedded in their bodily perceptions. Participants then write down their culinary memories. Next, Ground Zero Co., Ltd. collaborates with the generative AI "ChatGPT 4o" to create "Memory Recipe NFTs" and translate the texts. Finally, the online session, based on the concept of "reunion dinner," allows participants to share and exchange their experiences and creations in the cloud.
These culinary memories, preserved and circulated through the non-fungible and digital exchange characteristics of NFTs, are expected to be permanently stored and shared. The goal is for everyone to reflect on their own culinary memories and histories, making them part of societal memory through public pathways and media, thereby fostering a sense of community identity.
