eating grubs

A short walk from the hotel in Maesai is the night market. We saw a stall selling a variety of grubs. You get to choose what grubs you want and then seasoning will be added to it. I challenged Joash to eat it and he said why not....so he chose a three types of grubs. Paid 40baht for it; ie about RM4 or more.

This big insect is 7baht per piece. He picked one of it. He told Lyn that it smelt like cockroach. Yucks....
The grubs fried and mixed with pandan to make it smell good I suppose.


I saw this in the morning market. They are alive!!!! Joash chose this too the previous night. Lyn said it tasted quite ok. It's almost like the sago worms in Sarawak but I think the worms in Sarawak are fatter. Somebody said it taste like butter. Can you imagine eating maggots?
