Dare to try a "Fear Factor inspired" exotic food?
"Frog legs are one of the better-known delicacies of French and Cantonese cuisine. They are also eaten in other regions, such as the Caribbean, the region of Alentejo, in Portugal, northwest Greece, Piemonte in Italy, Spain and the Midwest southern regions of the United States" ... wikipedia
In Asia, exotic foods are not unusual at all, but most of these are not commonly found in restaurant menus. In most parts of the Philippines, you'll have difficulty finding these dishes since there are no Night Market Exotic Food stalls here. But there's a small fast-food that HB discovered somewhere in Binondo offering this exotic FRIED FROG LEGS.
it is prepared breaded and deep fried
fried frog legs without spices yet
mixed with savory spices
What has made it an instant hit? Bizarre it may seem but this exotic dish has a smooth texture and it tastes like chicken wings. It's palatable and scrumptious. And it goes so beautifully with rice!
So, are you brave enough to try this dish? Or do you have qualms eating something out of your "cuisine comfort zone"?
KOOKAK! KOOKAK! :)
