This reminds of a kopitiam in JB that sells all kind of 野味 over there.  Dog meat is the favourite there, and served in a claypot. I'm sorry if I offend any animal lovers here, but I took a very small piece of dog meat and I recalled it tasted harder than a chicken, but much softer than snake. Still don't understand why people eat it though. 

 

Out of curiosity, I asked the kopitiam assistant to bring me to their freezer to show me their "inventory". And man, some of the most disgusting things I have seen are inside. There are a few complete bats, civets, parts of fox, horse, kangaroo and croc. I almost vomit on the spot. :sick:   

 

how does the snake meat tastes like? I recon there's a shop in my hometown that sell snake soup, and its popular. But the last time i went back, the shop is no longer there. 

 

yuks! i was having my breakfast when i see this youtube video.. suddenly my appetite is gone..

Snake meat tastes like rubber! It's extremely hard, has no distinct smell and I understand from the chef it is very hard to season too!

 

Avoid at all cost, haha. :grin:

There was another wholesome movie called "The Ring" that had a profound impact on me. I finally understood what a spine chilling sensation was and hair standing up all over my body.

 

No more horror show after that. Not taking anymore chance. :scared:

I ate the thick grub worm before, fried version. A group of us went BKK and at the street hawker, we bought a whole bunch of varieties of insects for sale, got cricket, grub worm, meal worm, super worm, water bug and grasshopper. The scorpion and tarantula were too expensive. Then we bought beers and went back to hotel room. We all gathered around and play chua dia di. Loser with the most cards left got to pick one insect to eat.

 

Lucky me, lost early so got to select those fried thick grub worms. For me, no taste at all, cos I swollowed them whole and down with lots of beer. [grin]

 

Those kena eat the cricket, water bug and grasshopper removed the legs and quickly chomp it down. Followed by lots of beer.

 

 

 

It was so fun. [dead]
