:: unforgivable omnivore

i don't really know since when my passion towards foods have started. but i reckon it was sometimes when i used to live in melbourne. and it grew even stronger when i finally started to cook my own foods and baking some cakes.

melbourne, best known for its great variety of international foods. european cuisines, japanese sushi, malaysian nasi lemak and laksa, indian foods, chinese yum cha, vietnamese pho...you name it, they have it. when there were such lots of options, trying new foods have really become my special pleasure.

china, an interesting country with intriguing foods it offers is another reason for me to be curious. a lot of people said that all those chinese people really eat everything that alives. famous examples such as scorpion, cocoon, cockroach, are just some of them.

i was on the way to Wang Fu Jing in with a large group of friends, when the guy from my agent told us that we were gonna eat some fried scorpions. i was like, what??? he said it is the only place that offers such an excotic foods in this city and it tastes good. and when i was in the middle of putting that idea inside my brain, he asked me, "do you wanna give it a try?"

i wan't sure. really. i mean, this food we were talking about is not those kind of foods normal people would eat *no offense*. seriously! but on second thought *to change my mind in a split second is also one of my expertises* "why not???"

taa daa! it didn't taste that bad after all! i actually paid for 2 serves of fried scorpion and had a big bite of cocoons :D next time you come to this city, don't worry to give it a shot! it wouldn't kill. curiousity will...
