On June 9, 2024, Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung invited foreign translators from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to enjoy 'alkaline rice dumpling ice' together and filmed a video introducing the dish. For the Dragon Boat Festival on June 10, Lin extended his holiday wishes on social media, sharing a video of him and the foreign translator enjoying the dish and struggling with the English pronunciation of 'alkaline rice dumpling' as 'alkaline rice dumpling,' with over 5 takes. This shared experience aimed to introduce the summer-appropriate dish in both Mandarin and English, reflecting on Lin's childhood memories of enjoying it in his hometown.
