Extreme Culinary in Southeast Asia part 5

sorry for being late i got a worst day ever in my life, i wanna cry but my tears won't dropped even a drop. It's a sorrowful day.


19.Beehive
       Being lived in a small town made me experienced different childhood memories compared to my High School friends. Sometimes it couldn't helped to be admitted living in a small town ashamed me either makes me proud.
   Took a flashback, i'll tell you about my life when i was in elementary school. It was a great experience having such childhood habit. At the time i used to help my mom when shopping in a traditional market. Learned such things which lead me to an extraordinary way. Just like how to choose such good quality vegetable, how to bargaining, and lobbying sellers.
         A piece of hexagonal stuff attracts me. I asked my mom what is that things??? She told me it's a beehive. I  wondered what for they sells it??? Mom told me if it was eaten. When i saw it closely, there were some larvae of the bee inside it and some of them were ready to be matured. But people eat whole of it, the larvae either the undone bee. People usually cook it with spices.
     Just imagine it for you who never eat it before, some larvae and bee served in your plate, in every spoon you take there were insects in it. Wow, amazingly disgusting i think.

20. Infant Mouse ( Cindil )
       Villagers were the subject if we talked about lifespan and health. My aunt told me if there's some weird mindset of people which related to food. She said some villager have secret recipe of their health. They eats "cindil" or infant mouse.
   OMG....i was shocked for hearing it. Pests which ruins your house, your business even brings diseases being eaten??? i can't stand it of course. And everything in my mind, they are sick!!!
    Well the reality villagers have longer lifespan compared to citizens. Logically nature living based villagers daily life, it's the things which should be highlighted. Citizens lives in instant life, it's all about chemical which even their foods impacted.
    Well it's all about traditions and cultural believes that we couldn't helped.

 Just keep it in your mind, just imagined yourself eat it. LOL!!

21. Bat ( Kalong )

 Batman, children heroes...
Accompanied by Robin.
Well...well..well
It's a certainty which can't be denied that you know who he is
A cartoon figure which DC Comics made
Successful project which everyone couldn't forget even years passed by.

     Adapted from animal which i want to talked about, of course the bat which people still consumed. Bat, the only flying mammal, which certainly has a scary appearance and scary assumption of it's mythical story, suddenly lost all of it's prestige if meet indonesian.
     Some people believe eating bat can cure various disease such as asthma, allergies even increasing vitality.

22. Squirrel ( Bajing/Tupai )

The Ice Age, a funny animation with animals as the characters. I wondered are there any squirrel at the ice age??


     A cute animal but naughty as well. Although it's cute, but don't forget it's also pests for oil palm plantation. Some hate it, some loves it. Squirrels were also known for it's naughtiness, it's usually steals in nearest house from it's habitat, especially foods.

   Some people in indonesia believes eating squirrel have health benefits. Such as curing diabetes mellitus, kidney disease even cancer. Everyone always talk about cancer and it's alternative treatment. It's said squirrel's brain could cure mental retardation and it's fetus could be a treatment for infertile women.
