The group of friends headed back to Taipei on the following day and arrived just in time for lunch. As they had all eaten too much street food in the night markets in Kaohsiung on the previous day, they only felt like having a light lunch. Thus, Blythe's grandma offered to cook them some simple home dishes, of which they were very grateful, with Blythe and Claire offering to help.
As they were called to the dining table, Jeffrey was astonished to discover that there was delicious Xiaolongbao, ham and egg fried rice, and Taiwanese style sandwiches.
"Wow! How on Earth did you guys prepare so much food in half an hour?" exclaimed Jeffrey in astonishment.

"It's all thanks to this rice cooker," beamed Claire as she pointed to the kitchen appliance on the table. "You just have to prepare the ingredients, and it'll do the rest for you!"
"What? I thought rice cookers can only cook rice!" replied the amazed Eliza as she rushed to check it out. On opening the rice cooker, Eliza discovered that it looked very different to the usual ones, but instead, it looks more like a steamer.
"This rice cooker is a Taiwanese product that can help you cook simple cuisine in a matter of minutes," replied Blythe. "It works like a steamer, but you don't need a stove, you just need electricity. Basically, you just add some water inside the cooker and stack dishes up on top of each other. It steamed the Xiaolongbao and fried rice together whilst we prepared the sandwiches."
"What kind of sorcery is this?" admired Jeffrey as he took at the ordinary-looking rice cooker. "This is a magic rice cooker!"
