Weird food and wacky taste...


I just came across some of the weirdest combination of food while reading an online news portal from my home country and I have summarised the list here. When I looked at the list, I just have to laugh. Some people certainly have a wacky sense of taste when it comes to food...
  1. Toasted tuna sandwich with kaya (sweet coconut milk and egg spread) - YUCK!
  2. Sushi rice wrapped with popiah skin
  3. Butter cake wrapped in popiah skin and deep-fried - YUCK!
  4. Oreos biscuits with canned tuna - YUCK!
  5. Honey and jam with thosai (a type of Indian bread)
  6. Fried banana fritters with soya sauce and cut chillies - YUCK!
  7. Puttu (yet another Indian bread) sprinkled with Milo powder and some sugar
  8. Maggi Mee (curry flavour) with cheese and egg
  9. Durian served with glutinous rice and a generous dose of thick coconut milk - YUCK!
  10. Honeydew melon with shredded cooked chicken, served in cold salad style - I tried it before and it's quite refreshing
  11. Red pepper stew and grilled lamb with chocolate sauce accompanied by roasted corn, popcorn and corn sauce
  12. Chocolate-coated seaweed, chilli or kimchi - YUCK!
  13. Ants on a Log - peanut butter is spread on a short stick of celery and dotted with raisins (to resemble ants) - YUCK!
  14. Youtiao (Chinese cruller) dipped into congee - I tried it before and it's not that bad
  15. Youtiao (Chinese cruller) dipped into soy milk
  16. Youtiao thinly wrapped with chee cheong fun (rice noodle roll) - I tried it before and it's not that bad
  17. Youtiao dunked into Kopi-O ( coffee with sugar only) - I tried it before and it's not that bad
Would you like to try some of them? I dare you... :p

Meat and chocolate sauce is quite good, provided it's not sweet chocolate sauce. It's a Mexican thing originally - they call it Mole. Don't fancy most of those others!

My favourite odd combination is Toast with Honey and Marmite. Sweet and sour! :)

Number 6 is very common for me. It's actually quite good. It makes the banana fritters very spicy though.

Number 8 is okay also, not so terrible. :P Maggi and eggs are common - cheese just adds a little more savoriness to it.

Number 9 is a MUST-TRY if you like durian. Glutinous rice and coconut milk mixed together makes it a very delicious dessert - I had this in Bangkok when I was on holiday.

The rest is a bit too weird for me, especially the tuna ones. :P

For #6, I like banana fritters with chilli sauce or sambal. But serve them with soy sauce? I am not too sure I can eat it.

Similar to #9, I am okay with glutinous rice served with sweet and thick coconut milk but if added with durian, I don't think I can't stomach that...LOL :)
