This island grows the best pistachios on Earth.



I like pistachios but I`m not particularly CRAZY about them. I like them about as much as any other nut... But with that said, I am absolutely nuts about pistachios from Aegina island!

Weird Food That I've Eaten


There's a ton of unusual stuff I've eaten over the years. Some of it good, some bad, and some of it so revolting that its less appealing than eating a spoonful of lumpy mucus. Now, lets begin with my personal list of culinary adventure!

Yummy Brain Soup


My Taiwanese friend led me into what looked like just another restaurant out of many among the overwhelmingly busy and bustling night market. Nothing was written in English, so I would not have discovered this dish there on my own. Though, someday I'd like to have a lot more symbols memorized. 
Taiwan was a culinary thrill ride for me. I had tried lots of delicious desserts and teas and a few unusual things like blood cake (not the sweet kind of cake) and chicken feet. But brain was my highlight of unusual dining.

We Try Satay Jellyfish On A Stick


I've been continually writing unusual food posts more frequently and now it's time for yet another. But what's more unique about this one is that this was definitely one of the least favorite things I've ever tried.

Eating Ambuyat(A Bruneian Sticky Goo Dish)


I've always considered myself fairly open minded when it comes to food. I've eaten stuff like brain and bugs and actually thought they were tasty. I can eat about anything and I like most things.. but there are a few that I find strange.


 Ambuyat is a Bruneian food and it's basically a goop made with sago tree bark and water.

 As you can see, it's very sticky.

My Shitty Experience of Singapore Which Literally Involves Shit

I'm not saying Singapore is a bad place, but I did have a bit of bad luck while I was there..
In fact, My bad luck started as soon as I crossed the border!

Singapore is a dot on the map. I didn't know much about it except that it's a city and a country, and I've heard it's strict.
It's a big crime to spit gum on the sidewalk and you can be sentenced to Death for marijuana.. at least that's what I hear people say a lot.

Spicy Frog Meat and Pig Organ Soup



My first meal in Singapore was frog meat covered in some kind of spicy sauce. I ordered it because it sounded unusual and I had never eaten frog before. It tasted like chicken.
But because of the slightly chewy texture of it, it was a bit more difficult to eat than chicken would be. The sauce was thick and dark and made it messy to eat. Not bad. Not bad at all.

Ok, So A little later as I was exploring the city. I noticed that many places had signs reading "Pig Organ Soup", It didn't sound too appetizing to me at first but as I continued to walk around I also continued to see restaurants selling that dish! Since it seemed to be heavily advertised, I thought maybe it was a Singaporean thing and I should try it to experience part of the local culture. So I walked in and, OMG Seriously,
