Unusual Asian Delicacies

This is a blog about traveling in a different way, when i said "different way" i meant we follow an unsual path. Normally, "traveling" the word by itself make you think about nice accommodation, great sightseeing, and delicious food, but today is the day we'll take you to one of the different ways of traveling. Asia is known not just for its diverse cultures and traditions, but also a galore of exotic foods that often surprises and astonishes, sometimes not to a positive effect. Now to list all the unusual food that i did try and i'm totally in love with. So if you ever have a chance to go to Asia especially the South East area, give these foods a try, they may not suit everyone’s taste, but the following foods, whilst considered weird and bizarre to some people, are considered delicious delicacies in our country.

This one call "vit lon" in Vietnamese or "balut" in Philippine is either duck or chicken eggs, but always half-fertilized. As unappealing as half-developed ducklings are, but this one is high in protein and also, an delicious and it taste way better than it look. I especially like it to be cooked with butter, lemon and peanut.

Snake wine is a bottle of rice wine with a venomous snake inside and has ‘medicinal purposes’, It originated in Vietnam,i think 7 out of 10 Vietnamese families have one of these at home, i dont like the taste, its taste like a a really go off beer mix with i dont know maybe snake, well its good for health they said.

If you like your fruit stinky then you’ll be in your element with the durian. It’s said to smell of rotting flesh and can be found at markets across Asia, especially Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. Personally, this is what we call "king of fruit" and i just love it, i love how it looks, i love how it smells an it just taste good with everything and you can't miss out something that's the king, right?

"Tiết canh" is a traditional dish of raw blood and cooked meat in Vietnam. The most popular is tiết canh vịt, made from raw duck blood and duck meat. Extremely flavorful!! At the time, I could not understand why some would not eat it. Then I was told what I was eating. What a wonderful dish. The peanuts really set me to eat more and more, but there wasn't enough of it
They look like the anti-egg, and smell like sulfur. Century eggs are just about everything Western Palates are taught not to eat, but passing them up would be a mistake (at least save them for me), this one is abso-freakin-lutely delicious with lean pork congee!!!!!

Vietnamese don’t waste any part of the animal. Pha lau stands display piles of beef and pork intestines, lungs, kidney, heart and stomach. The tasty innards are chopped up and loaded into baguette sandwiches or sold by the plate to accompany rounds of beer or rice wine. I basicly grow up with this dish

yes! you're right thats raw octopus hat has been cut into small pieces and served immediately!!! how delicious its sound like, well, i must say if you are not a fan of sushi and raw fish dont even think about try this dish, it has a really funky taste.
