Food (Bugs Ugh!)
Apr 14, 2015,00:02 AM
Walking around we see a lot of restaurants and people enjoying the food. The concept here is that you purchase a card and add money to it. When you see something you like at one of the stalls you use the card like a credit/debit card to pay for your items.
They had a stand with the popular candied apple-like fruit on a stick. You see this at a lot of places in China:
Some of the dessert stands look very tempting:
Fresh fruit and vegetables, this place also made smoothies and juice drinks:
Locals like boiled peanuts, sweet yams, and steamed corn:
A vendor that was really popular was this place...a fresh sugar cane juice stand. They had a special machine that you feed the sticks of sugar cane into and juiced it:
A large pot of spicy crawfish, you could smell the intensity of the spiciness of this from a few feet away!
Cold spicy crab looked good:
Now this is where it gets really interesting...this place was really popular:
A lot of people was lurking and taking pics. Unfortunately for the proprietor they were only there to check out the creepy offerings but not buying anything.
Large scorpions, big a$$ spiders on the left side!
Centipedes, I like the video game but not on a stick:
Some kind of large bug/beetle like insect. There's what appears to be seahorses at the bottom left.
Giant locust or grasshoppers:
As we explore the other stalls we run into this place that sells Donkey meat!
In addition to the insect stall, there were a lot of people checking this place out but no real customers....They offered honey lotus juice drinks and a specialty item...dog meat!
Anyone here eat some of these items? Ever try insects? I have to admit, I wussed out and didn't try anything here!
