When it comes to food, some Singaporeans might just be on the adventurous side. After all, we do have to uphold our reputation as one of the countries with the best makan culture in the entire world, right? From Japanese to Korean, Indonesian to Thai, we are practically a global hub of gastronomical delights, aren’t we?
If you happen to have a pretty wild and adventurous soul when it comes to eating, how much is too much? Here are 10 most outrageous dishes in Japan that the writers in the office took one look at and turned away immediately. Do you dare to eat them?

This is pretty much an acquired taste. Closest food I could think of in Chinese culinary would be the stinky tofu.

Every Singaporean loves ice-cream, especially in such a hot country like Singapore, but would you love all ice-cream, or draw the line at octopus and squid flavored ice-cream?

If you have a ridiculous phobia of wasps, here’s one good way to get over your fear. Besides, they add crunchiness to your crackers. Awesome, no?

Alright, if you’re insistent that sashimi can only be made out of animals from the sea, then you have to try this sea slug.

And last but not least, some live squid to end off the article. Yes, the tentacles move even when separated from the main body. Yes, that’s right, wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle.
