Fear Factor Vietnam

~~~WARNING~~~

THE FOLLOWING CONTENT MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR ALL. YOU MAY NOT WANT TO VIEW IT ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE JUST EATEN OR GOING TO EAT SOON. IT MAY SPOILT YOUR APPETITE.

For those who wish to challenge your fear factor, read on......

I was strolling along a market in Vietnam when I came across some pretty interesting eggs - The Hale Hatched Duck Eggs, aka Duck Foetus Eggs.

Photobucket

As the name suggested, each of these eggs contains an unborn or unhatched vertebrate in the later stages of development showing the main recognizable features of a duck. It is a duck in the early stages of development before it is born or hatched.

Does it sounds gross to you or does it sounds like an exotic food to try? Without much consideration, I decided to challenge my taste bud!!!

After boiling the egg, it was served to me.

Let's peel off the shell and see what's inside.

Revealing more....

and more....

Now, the whole egg has been unshelled.

What an ugly looking egg, isn't it? At this point of time, I was trying to figure out where is the head and tail of the duck; And after staring hard at it for awhile, I picked it up, dipped the egg into the sauce, took a bite and let my senses do the thinking.

Photobucket

Hmm...... The taste is not as bad as it looks... Now, Picked up some vegetable and took another bite.....
Photobucket

Trust me... It really taste ok... No funny taste at all... HEY, the duck foetus has finally show itself...
Photobucket

Took another bite.... Is that the brain??
Photobucket

Took another bite.... Oh my god.. I am tearing the foetus apart with my teeth....
Photobucket

After having eaten half of the egg, the most disgusting part of this duck foetus egg is finally revealed... I guessed this is the body, leg, brain, eye and everything....

Photobucket

And for your information, I managed to finish everything. WAHAHA....

So if you are in vietnam and if you happen to be craving for some eggs, why not give this exotic egg a try. Otherwise, if you are not into this, please becareful when u order eggs in vietnam.

This world is full of amazing things and people. Travelling really opens up my eyes (and increases my taste bud's knowledge). I want to see more of this world, therefore I travel.

To see more photos of this trip, Please see Cambodia - Vietnam 2008

Cheers.

various angles. Its like men and women aren't interested until it's one thing
to accomplish with Lady gaga! Your personal stuffs nice.
