Taiwanese Star Alice Chung Loses Weight During Two Months Living in the U.S., Misses Home Flavors

Taiwanese actress Alice Chung has been living in the United States for the past two months with her children, a period she described with a playful question to her fans: "If you were living in the U.S. for almost two months, do you think you would gain weight or lose weight?"

Chung revealed her own answer with a touch of humor: "I, lost, weight!" She clarified that this wasn't a boast, as she typically returned to Taiwan having gained weight. This time, however, her focus has been on navigating daily life in a new environment with her children. Finding the right supermarkets for their tastes and discovering places that delight the children have become part of their routine, transforming their experience from mere tourism to a more grounded, local rhythm.

Now, thousands of miles away, Chung finds herself dreaming of the simple, everyday Taiwanese foods she misses dearly. "A bowl of steaming beef noodle soup on the street, various braised dishes, meat dumplings, stinky tofu, vermicelli, rice pudding – foods readily available in Taiwan at any moment – are now distant dreams," she confessed. The daily rhythm of caring for her children and experiencing new things together has made her realize how much she misses the familiarity of knowing exactly what and where to eat.

With her children scheduled to start school in September, Chung anticipates returning home soon. She joked that despite being a highly adaptable woman, her "mouth is always Taiwanese-flavored," highlighting her deep connection to her home country's culinary identity.
