If frog legs are already too normal for you, try this instead! These bubbly gooey balls are actually the fat scraped off frog fallopian tubes. If you’re wondering what fallopian tubes are, it’s the tube connecting the ovaries to the uterus. The Chinese believe it aids your respiratory system, but I’m willing to bet the price tag on these things will take your breath away first.
You’ll be able to get hasma at any Chinese medical hall
Relax, your precious reputation will stay intact after taking a mouthful of this mushy matter. It’s a Japanese delicacy and a prized one at that. Although I loathe to imagine what prompted its discovery as a food item in the first place. The taste is actually similar to regular fish roe and it’s also packed with nutrients. So go on, make your momma proud and slurp up some shirako today!

Zombies aren’t the only ones craving for brains these days, the Chinese are too! It’s believed that pig brains do great things for your mental abilities so you might want to drink up before an important exam. I guess you’ll have to decide if that F on your report card is scarier than chugging down a soup nightmares are made of.

Your cute little amphibious friends and possibly your first pet also makes for a great soup!

It looks gross, and it smells even worse. Some say it’s an acquired taste but I say they are just insane. Love it or hate it, blue cheese is actually pretty common nowadays and you can find it in any Cold Storage. If you think it smells rotten, that’s because it technically is! Blue cheese is made by injecting a mould into the fresh cheese and allowing it to age. Don’t worry though the mould though, it’s completely safe for human consumption – if you can get the taste of your tongue before you puke that is.
Where: You’ll find it at any Cold Storage
Possibly the grossest item on the list, balut is a half developed duck embryo that is boiled. The dish originated from the Philippines and it’s eaten whole, bones and all. It’s commonly dipped in vinegar and chilli or a variety of other seasonings depending on which South-East Asian country you’re in. My filipino friends swear by it, but I doubt I’d ever take the plunge myself.
Where: Food stalls in Lucky Plaza are your best bet
Bet you were expecting good old ice cream! Sorry to burst your bubble but Sundae in Korean refers to blood sausage! A typical Sundae is made from pork intestine that’s stuffed with blood, cellophane noodles and bits of minced meat. Now there’s one more thing you can do with the blood of your enemies!

I’ll admit, this is one thing on the list I enjoy. The tongues are usually braised and covered in a heavy savoury sauce. It’s chewy and you have to watch out for the bone it comes attached to, but it’s actually quite delicious. It’s texture is close to that of a bamboo clam. You might enjoy this yourself once you get the image of you french kissing a duck out of your head.
Where: Paradise Dynasty

Price: $9.80
Poor crocodiles must have really pissed off some Chinese people in the past to be subjected to this! It looks like a drumstick, which may come in handy if you’re looking to prank someone. Prized for its aphrodisiac like qualities, these chewy delights have been on Chinese dining tables since chopsticks were invented.
