A post today on the CNN International website reminds me of some of the meals I ate while visiting Singapore. The post lists five weird dishes that Singaporeans enjoy:
- Kacang Phool
- Fuzhou UFOs
- Eel Skin Crisps
- Steamed Shark’s Head
- Alligator Paws
I’m no Anthony Bourdain or Andrew Zimmern. I am a bit adventurous with what I eat. I draw the line at truly odd items, though. From the list above, I can honestly say I’ve only tried the eel skin crisps, and I didn’t really enjoy them (although they were nicely fried). I assume these are all acquired tastes. The braised alligator paws are the scariest dish I’ve ever seen, and I was three tables away. They purport to deliver all sorts of health benefits, although I note, it’s not at all healthy for the poor alligator…
Enjoy the (Weird Asian) Heat!
