| The “Mix Bag” |
Quite a selection of these not-so-delicious looking edible insects were available! So I decided to opt for a “mix bag” with a few from each variety for only a dollar! yum :-s
I Guess insects are part of the holy grail of weird food that most westerners won’t even think of eating, but when in Asia… How could I pass up the opportunity!?

| Big Cricket… yum! |
VERDICT
Fortunately these are deep fried, I’m yet to try live insects, but I guess that’ll happen eventually! The flavour is very salty and in the case of the silk worms it exploded with a little goo in the mouth (Thats what she said..), other than that they were edible, just not exactly appetising.
