Taiwanese are creative in cookery and eatery. The inventions include rice pastes with special flavor and texture. A special kind of paste texture of elasticity and mouthfuls (similar to but better than chewing-gum texture) is called Q; there is a Taiwanese word but no Mandarin's equivalent. But if you say certain food is 'Q', every Taiwanese understands.
To best appreciate the word, you have to try the food yourself. Then you will understand what food is Q vs. not 'Q'.
On Taiwanese highways, occasionally you will see 'Q' on the advertisement boards.
