My food exploration kinda limited, all listed below. Do share if you have any interesting find:

Horse sashimi (Bangkok) - they served both the meat and fats together, fats looks exactly like butterfish sashimi, taste wise kinda buttery while horse meat taste just like beef. Not eating that again because I prefer beef.

Wild bullfrogs (Ulu Langat) - Had this at a restaurant in Ulu Langat, not always available. Weighs around 1kg per frog, personally I find the meat a bit tough as compared smaller to farm breed bullfrogs. Definitely smaller frogs taste better.

Monster mud crab (Singapore) - Not exactly exotic but with a weight of 2.8kg per crab, this is a rare find for me and also the largest I've ever eaten to date. Crabs weighing around 1kg - 1.5kg is pretty common in Singapore's seafood restaurants btw. Every mouthful is solid chunks of sweet delicacy, unforgettable.

Cobra steamboat (Bangkok) - As usual they will serve using shot glass that contained gall with snake blood, in it there's also a live beating heart of the snake, they will top it up with Thai rice wine then you'll gulp it down. Next they put snake's skin into pressure cooker, made into appeitizer, something close to Japanese jellyfish texture, said to contain plenty of collagen. Meat of snake will be slice into thin layer and snake's bone thrown into soup stock. Surprisingly the meat tasted smooth and chewy, similar to that of frog legs. Had it once, don't mind doing it again.

Deep fried locust (Bangkok) - Delicious, goes well with nice cold beers. Taste is close to twistees, salty & crunchy. Nice little snacks.

Ant eggs...scorpion...in Thailand...

How was it especially the scorpion? It's in my "to eat list", will try it some day.

Silkworms Cocoon (Chiangmai) - Had it while having a short getaway there, it has a nutty taste to it, texture similar to soggy french fries. Not disgusting at all but won't be eating again due to texture, I prefer crunchy snacks.

Bats in Manado restaurants in Indonesia, one of my favorite food! Make sure you can handle really hot & spicy food to try this, or else then just avoid ya.

Had fruit bats awaiting me in Sarawak, hopefully still there by CNY.

wah... terer. i dun dare to tried also...

How they cook it there? In Indonesia they cook it with tons of spices and very hot & spicy but tasty too.

My father in-law will be the one cooking, yet to try. Spices are needed to cover the "Wild" flavor for certain wild animals.

Yes true. IMHO the meat is like smoked turkey at least when prepared like in Manado food.

You enjoyed wild delicacy too? If given a chance, try steam stone fish in hongkong style. This fish have poisonous spine so must handle with care, despite ugly look, the flesh is similar to scallop.

Actually not really, certainly not as adventurous as you. So far had only eaten bats many times, snake once or twice, kangaroo once, shark once, that's all I think.
No thx, I don't dare to try something poisonous that may kill me later!

Poison will be gone once cooked. Some live seafood restaurants have them but kinda rare. Shark meat are nice too, the one I ate is nurse shark.

The most exotic dish I have ever tried has to be Haggis, when I visited Scotland a couple of years ago. In simple terms, it's just a pudding; but look within, and you see that the pudding is made up of a sheep's heart, liver and lungs. I can't pretend I liked it. It was neither appetizing-looking, nor tasty at all.

Hahaha...that's interesting. Ain't sure I have the gut to take it if given a chance especially if it's cold pudding.
