Extreme Culinary in Southeast Asia part 3


  Remembering my hometown, Bojonegoro, i got an inspiration for my starters. Teak, the strongest wood i ever heard, such a precious commodity that we got here. With very high value in money, makes teak become one of indonesian's pride of having such natural resource. But this natural prosperity pulled the trigger of crime, illegal logging can't be avoided since people around were lives in poverty.

11. Teak Caterpillar
     Being a teak-producing town, people of Bojonegoro have a habit of consuming teak caterpillar also it's cocoon. Fried with such seasonings made them said to be yummy...
