Meet Chen Yitin, Taiwan’s latest internet superstar. The 26-year-old has been deemed the “hottest bean curd seller” in the country, the Daily Mail reports.
Yitin works a stall in the Beitou district of Taipei called “Most Traditional Bean Curd Flower.” The stall belongs to his godfather and it specializes in Chinese pudding made of soft tofu drenched in sugar syrup.
While the homemade pudding sounds delicious, it’s not the tofu customers seem to want.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
In addition to serving up empty calories, Yitin moonlights as a model. Photos appeared on this Chinese-language blog and have since been shared online tens of thousands of times.
Yitin hopes this is his ticket out of his godfather’s pudding shop.
Several other good-looking market workers have found success in modeling on the Chinese mainland after photographs of them were posted online, including a policeman mobbed by female admirers and a 21-year-old bus driver deemed the “most handsome bus conductor ever” after photos made the viral rounds.
At any rate, Daily Mail reports that “Women have been queuing up to get a glimpse” of Yitin. We’re pretty sure men are doing the same.
Scroll down for photos of Yitin working hard for the money at his godfather’s pudding shop…

Yaassssssss! This is why I don’t understand how people can say things like, “I’m not into “X” race of guys”. There are hot guys in every race, such as this guy above.
dsharpark
Look at the size of his feet!!! You know what they say about a man with big feet… he wears big shoes.

@Franklin: I absolutely agree with you! I see beautiful and sexy men of all complexions.

Rodney Hom, want to go to Taiwan now?

I’ve been a vegetarian for over 30 years. Tofu is sexy!
And by the way, it’s not “empty calories”. It’s high in protein.
@ingyaom: What are you talking about? Those ARE the modeling photos. You think the guy walks around with his shirt off just to sell tofu?
Jose R Negron
Damn!ð??¹
DuMaurier
@jwtraveler: Hopefully! But it’s actually very easy to Google up some swimsuit, etc, “regular” layouts. He has an amazingly perfect body.

Hot. Hotter than Sriracha.

Beautiful guys come in every color, shape and size. It’s all about the swagger. He’s hard working and very handsome. Kudos to him.
Oncelove
He’s hot!
But apparently he doesn’t really work there I heard.
It’s all for the fame for himself and not even for the shop.
JoJo Phukhaotong

Rolando Leonel Gutierrez
Stephanie Wu he is hot Taiwan !!
Lestar

@Franklin: It’s because the majority of media world wide people see from birth is of a certain image. Frankly put you only see a certain skin tone the majority of the time being hailed as “the best” and anything else being considered down the totem pole the further away it gets from “the best”.
It’s psychologically damaging for everyone involved and actually makes people think anyone who doesn’t fit that particular mold is less attractive.
I’ve seen guys turn down extremely hot guys who were “too dark” in favor of overweight/out of shape fugly guys who were the “right shade”.
All that is before you take into account anything else like eye shape, hair texture, size of nose, etc.
I think people are finally growing out of it and doing away with the media mold on their own but it’s still a huge problem around the globe. People have gone as far as destroying their skin, hair, eyes, etc just to look a certain way for decades.

He’s a model I live in Taiwan and have passed the shop many times since I use to live in the area.

I’d recommend http://d.pr/IP55 if you fancy a coffee or http://d.pr/IP55 for a great salad to go with that bean curd. 😉
Tobi
* for the coffee http://d.pr/DWEW doh!

This photo set proves, once again, that if the ONLY thing that precludes you from viewing a person as attractive is his race, then you indeed are a r@cist.
Tobi
@tdh1980: I struggle with that. I’ve had lovers ranging from chalk white to midnight black and a lot of shades inbetween, but having spent three months in India, and whilst finding some of the men incredibly beautiful, they do absolutely nothing for me sexually. Does this make me r@cist?

@Tobi: Within each ethnicity of people exists a breath of diversity that manifests itself in various physical attributes which also can be found in those of other ethnicities, generally speaking. For those for whom issues of race are not a factor, it’s typically those characteristics to which they are drawn. Men from any race can be tall or short, hairy or smooth, dark or light, slim or thick, and any gradation between, so how else is it that one develops racial or ethnic preferences or dislikes other than social conditioning? I find tall, bald, bearded, bespectacled men to be extremely sexy, so there’s no reason I should discount a Polynesian man with those qualities unless I’ve been taught, either expressly or subconsciously, that something is unappealing about him simply because of his ethnic makeup.
Tobi
@tdh1980: “Men from any race can be tall…” I told my Mbuti mate that, he fell off his box laughing. 😉
tdh1980
@Tobi: Well, as I said, generally speaking. 🙂
Kangol
Hot! Shave that head and he’d be perfect!

@Tobi: India…!

@Captain Obvious: just because you find those of us who are Rubenesque unattractive, does not mean that we are or that someone who is fit is automatically more attractive to everyone else. Attraction is an opinion like everyone else and discrimination is discrimination however you paint it.

Hello Taiwan!!! I think my heart just skipped a beat.
This is just proof that beauty comes from every race; he needs to be introduced to my handcuffs.

I’d like to curd his bean too.
