Here’s some more chicken feet for you. Deep-fried ones. Look tasty, don’t they? You can read more about chicken feet in .
You can’t admire all the interesting food on this side of the world while ignoring the huge variety of drinks. Many of the drinks are actually desserts that are just packaged in a convenient way. Here’s one particular drink (lawd chawng [ลอดช่อง]) and I’m not sure exactly what it is, but something along the lines [...]
This was a really tasty home cooked meal. Seriously. Gaeng pak waan sai kai mod daeng [แกงผักหวานใส่ไข่มดแดง], or in English, a vegetable soup with red ant eggs. Ant eggs are used in a couple of Isaan dishes, but they are seasonal. Another common way to serve them is in an omelet. You can click on [...]
Shrimp are common and cheap in Thailand. And they have some big ones! Yum!
This here is shark fin soup. I know it’s not a very politically correct soup, but as a purveyor of odd foods, I had to try it at least once.

We found these interesting looking clams in Kuala Lumpur. I never saw them before and they tasted normal, although I was quite intrigued by the rectangular shape of their shells. Just to the left is some tasty fishhead curry.

Well, I know I mostly talk about weird Asian foods on here, but I couldn’t resist posting about one of my favorite American foods. Well, American is probably stretching it a bit. Maybe I should just say Rochesterian food? What we have here is the infamous trash plate (or garbage plate, or many other names). [...]
Here’s another interesting one. These are literally deep-fried flowers (dawk mai tawt [ดอกไม้ทอด]). Apparently these are a Hmong specialty and these particular ones were found on the island of Koh Kret. Koh Kret is basically in the middle of the Chao Phraya River as it runs through Northern Bangkok. As you can see from the [...]
The title of this post may be a bit deceiving. Unhatched wouldn’t work because no egg is hatched. ‘Egg that hasn’t come out of the chicken yet’ doesn’t quite sound right. Unborn wouldn’t work…or would it? Anyway, This is certainly one of the stranger dishes I’ve tried in my time over here. The taste is [...]
