Beondegi

Today is Esther's 18th Birthday... went to a Korean Restaurant for lunch.... we have been joking about eating that Korean Bug thingy ever since we 1st went there to eat, we finally got it...

at 1st glance.. erm.. well just look at the pictures i posted... it ain't a pretty sight... and it seriously look like cockroaches... the taste, it's erm.. how to say.. unique.. haha... it ain't as bad as it looked, but after 2 spoon full of it, i start to get sick of it already... guess why?.. NO ONE ELSE (other than audi, guy with the white jacket) is willing to eat it... like argh...!!! come on... and and.. it ain't cheap.. it's like $15NZD, I think it is the most expensive dish on the table... mmm...


Note to everyone who wants to spend someone lunch, make sure you tell the owner that you are gonna pay.. this birthday girl of ours, went to get a drink and ended up paying for the lunch... gah.. didn't see that coming... thought she'll be busy being entertained by her friends...









Came home, tummy full.. and ain't feeling good now.. because I ate too much...

and.. guesss what?.. I went and google the bug, and found out how it looks like a live.. mmm... if i knew it looked like that, I don't think I'll try it in the 1st place.. o well... there is a frist thing for everything....

It's actually silkworm pupae. Beondegi are a popular snack food in Korean cuisine. Literally meaning "chrysalis" or "pupa" in Korean, Beondegi are steamed or boiled silkworm pupae which are seasoned and eaten as a snack.
