asians are renowned for its exotic cuisine. i dunno, but asians are most likely to
concoct a very tasty and delicious meal from almost anything.

we tend not to
be wasteful of our resources so there are ways and means we come up with to
prepare zesty and exotic food.

to asians: what are the exotic foods in your country which you want westerners to try?
to westerners: are you willing to try some exotic foods which asian cuisine can offer?

so to start this thread, i want you all to try "BALOT". This is a week-old duck
egg (with embryo), which is just boiled and ready to eat off its shell. the soup and the
yolk from the duck egg is very tasty, the hard egg white is very crunchy, and the duck
embryo is very yummy!

it can be spiced up with salt, vinegar, and chili.

(if you watched Amazing Race 5, the players raced in the Philippines to find a large
duck statue/monument.

)

BALOT from the Philippines! YUMMY!

I think the most famous Thai dish is Tom-yum-kung.
That's a spicy prawn soup! And it's not that difficult to make too. For those of you in foreign countries, there is instant ingredients. You can simply add prawns and water, although of course, that won't be as good as the original one. I'd like to tell you more about how to make it, but I don't know the English names of all the herbs!! Try it out anyway!

I am not sure can define it as exotic or not. This fruit are really loved by the local MALAYSIA ppl, BUT foreigners always avoid them
1) DURIAN-malaysia tropical fruit. this fruit can be eaten raw or prepared as a 'DELICIOUS' dishes.
eg: 1) pulut durian-that fruit is cooked with santan n sugar.Then it is eaten with glutionous rice
2) Tempoyak-that fruit is mixed with pounded chillies and and salt.eaten with rice
3) etc

It's actually Balut with a "u". But we all pronounce it with the "o". I love this food so much. I accidentally ate it raw because it was the first time for me to boil one and I was very impatient.

Another good one is Adidas, chicken feet. Also the Chicken intestines, I forgot what it's called but it was good too and chewy. I don't know if this is an exotic food but everyone's gotta try the Sizzling Sisig! Pig ears, liver and meat with a splash of beer and some spices and onions hmmmmm taste good. I can't wait to eat it.

well in my area and in my country the most expnsive food is lobster , i cant understand why a small lobster like 12 inches long costs some 120 us dollars here , but any way me and my friends love to go and catch them because even for us lobster becomes a delicacy , we used to go and catch them , we used to snorkel and deep dive and it always have been a delicacy in and around my region , i just love the way they are exploring and eating shrimps , but after i came to know when i know when hear one , i mean they used to make a sound and if you know and identify it you will know you found one even though you cant see it right away , to me it is the best exotic food
