It took about 10 minutes and some aggressive persuasion to get me to eat this giant fried insect. Looking at it now makes me slightly nauseous but I admit it tasted fine, kind of like fried shrimp but flakier. Apparently, there's also a stick of onion rammed through the body of the insect, if you can tell. That nasty insect dome really gets me though. Still, I recommend huge crickets to anyone with curious taste buds and a need for cheap thrills. It made me feel like a man.
This dish isn't very impressive after a fried bug, but it was actually quite memorable. Sticky rice and pork wrapped with tea leaves. I've had it before, but this specific version was much more reactive to the chew and carried a spice I have yet to encounter.
I don't know if you can tell, but these are little river fish, fried to a crisp. There's quite a punch in each of these little peckers, but I couldn't tell if it was from the fish itself or the groves of garlic it was cooked with. At this point, my palette was about pooped out and done. In the end, I give a thumbs up to proceed with all these dishes. If there's anything lacking in taste, the presentation makes up for it.
