Exotic Food that Can Only Be Found in the Streets of China



Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside.” - Mark Twain.

Asians are famous with regards to the stories about disgusting and strange eating habits. Western countries believed that the cultures of Asian countries are unique and differently nauseating, particularly, the chinese cultures.

The revolting stories of the chinese culture originated from the tale of cat and dog eating. The story was passed from word of mouth but there are no evidences that supports the sensational stories about chinese people.

As a traveler, I'm not just an adventure seeker, but also a culture enthusiast. To seek and experience the different cultures around the globe, requires courage, to try every food for the first time. Here are some of the exotic delicasies that can only be found in the streets of China.

Most Bizarre Asian Street Food You Must Try Out



Warning: May not be advisable for viewing to those currently eating


Some food will make you drool at first sight. Some might give you a fright. What am I talking about? Here are few examples.



Scorpion, at Beijing, China. You would never dare get close with this poisonous arachnid. What more eating them? Okay, so the venom is removed before serving. But still, it's hair rising.



Tuna eyes,  at Japan streets. Imagine creepy instances when you feel as though somebody’s watching over you. Look no further, it may be just these tuna eyes, oh well, that the Japanese seem to enjoy a lot.


Balut, Philippines. Half-fertilized duck eggs that locals eat with vinegar. It does not look appetizing, but most food essay example say that the taste is pleasing. Bet you probably have to close your eyes first. That’s how you do it.


Oh and by the way, the moral lesson here? No guts, no glory. :)
