Thailand - Bangkok & Chiang Rai
泰国 – 曼谷 及 清莱
Talking about exotic food, everyone would agree that eating insect is one of them.
说到奇异的食物，每个人都会同意吃昆虫就是其中之一。
Many years ago in Bangkok, there was a sudden urge to try the taste of insects.
好多年前在曼谷，突然有种冲动想尝尝昆虫是啥味道。
Bought a bag of mixed insects from the street vendor and back to the hotel.
从街边小贩那里买了一包“乱七八糟”的昆虫回旅馆尝鲜。
The insects were deep fried until a complete state of crispiness and sprayed with salty fish sauce and pepper.
昆虫是被油炸至完全酥脆状态并喷上咸咸的鱼露和胡椒粉。
"Everything is always difficult at the beginning" and this phrase is also very appropriate for eating insects.
“凡事总是开头难”这话用在吃虫也很恰当。
Hand holding insect just refused to send it to the mouth; mouth too, refused to obey instruction to open it.
拿着昆虫的手，怎么都没能往嘴里送；嘴巴也不听使唤，怎么都开不了。
After some tormented moment, finally sent the bug into the mouth; chowed down and sent pieces of the insect into the gullet.
折腾了一阵，终于将昆虫送进嘴里；囫囵吞枣般把碎尸万段的虫虫送进五脏庙。
Frankly most of the bugs tasted far less horrible than imagined, like dried shrimp just crispy and salty.
坦白说，大多数昆虫的味道远不如想象的那么恐怖，就像虾米般脆和咸。
