Taipei, Sept. 12 (CNA) A restaurant located in a forest valley in Miaoli County, northern Taiwan, is 
demonstrating the empathy of Taiwanese people for the population of Amatrice, the Italian town hit by an earthquake last month, by joining an international appeal for “a future for Amatrice.”
Chef Chueh Chia-lian (闕嘉良) of the restaurant in Sanyi Township has recently put a symbolic dish of Amatrice on its menu and will donate the proceeds from sales of the dish, after deducting costs, to the devastated Italian town to help with its reconstruction, Chueh said Sunday.
The chef described the move as “eating spaghetti all’amatriciana to give a future for Amatrice.”
He explained that the classic Amatrice pasta is made of white wine, pasta, tomato, bacon, chili and cheese. The ingredients are so simple that farmers in the ancient town can cook the dish anytime, anywhere. [FULL STORY]
