If you're curious about insect dishes, why don't you visit Bugs Cafe in Siem Reap city, Cambodia. In Khlong Toei market, Bangkok city, Thailand, they grilled insect skewer over the charcoal. At first, I'll introduce you to taste of fried scorpion.


As a way of cooking insect dish, they simply fry scorpion in deep fat and put tha salt on them. We can dip them on sweet and spicy sauce when eating it. The texture of foot in scorpion is greasy and crispy like snack. Moreover, the body of scorpion is black and creamy, texture looks like crab innards but taste of that is bitter rather than crab innards. Since it's quite hard to bite, we shouldn't eat scissors and needle on scorpion.
