What? Snake and Snack does sound quite similar ler. And we do have snake meat here, RM30 per KG, tho I have not eaten before and it’s very rare too. It’s available only when they happened to encounter it in their farms or resident areas.
I really misheard when I was hanging out with Maru and Rokku the other day in KL. They were so shocked. Hahah.
Okay. I think I’m scaring my friends away from visiting me. Hahah
By the way, how adventurous are you in food? What’s the most adventurous/exotic you have tried or going to try?
For me, so far I have tried fried crickets, fried pupae, fried mealworm, pig brains, ants egg in Thailand. I wanted to try Sago worms badly. I heard it’s good and as a Sarawakian, I must at least try once. XD
………………….
Honestly, beside exotic food, we do have so called normal food and unique one too. hahah don’t be scared. You can check out this list I made. I think useful for anyone who is coming to Kuching. What’s so interesting about our food is it is totally different from those Peninsular.

So Snake or “Snack”? If you have to choose one. XD

Ini tour guide…dangerous T-T haha
Author
hahaha where got! the best wei 😛
I only eat “Normal” food. Do not dare to eat those bugs when I was in Myanmar. They say will Lao Sai…＞＜
Author
how do you define normal?
it’s normal in Thai to eat bugs 😛
I want to try snake!! Hehe…
But I definitely don’t want sago worms. Especially since they are eaten alive…so geli, they can move in your mouth!
I’ve eaten snails (escargots) and sheep’s brain (haggis) before, so I think I can be considered quite adventurous. But I don’t want to eat bugs…somehow I associate them with dirtiness.
Author
you can cook them ar 😛
no need to eat raw also can.
sago worm is clean that’s why it’s famous heheeh
it eats only sago and stays inside sago tree since small.
Having seem those in years *run away*

wei sarawakian!! apasal lari??
lol!!!!!!! definitely SNAKE! 😀
Author
hahahah why???
what if snake taste weird, worm taste like very delicious thing u ever taste before.. which 1 you choose?
No, never try and never thought to.
If it’s me, I’m sure I’ll scared to visit Sarawak then. XD
Author
hahahaha jangan!
please come!
Fried sago worm is nice. Crispy on the outside, milky in the inside. Just chew on it’s body & avoid the head.
*Warning: If you have high blood cholesterol, don’t dare more than 1. Not encourage to eat often. It’s actually found & sold here in Klang Valley. Heard, there are some local supplies from some local plantations.
Never been to Sabah, never been overseas LOL. Would def. love to visit the place esp. to try the “fermented fish dishes” 🙂 & “only in Sabah/Sarawak” fruits.
The most adventurous food I’ve ate are…
Bats, Wild Deer, Raw Octopus, Wildboar, Ostrich, Cactus
(these are pretty common in some countries)
Tasted insects before, but don’t fancy it’s taste or smell. Those black ants are actually pretty dangerous esp. it’s head part which contains some toxin chemicals usually meant to numb it’s victim from it’s bite.
Author
woahhh
cactus sounds interesting to me 😀 hohoho
about the Borneo fruits. most of them are sour XD
but some very unique in texture.
woah.. i heard those white/green ants taste nice like butter.
