What does Bondegi taste like?
We got some friends in Singapore to try this Korean street food called Bondegi. It is essentially boiled or steamed silkworm pupae. You can buy a can of Bondegi at a Korean convenience store.
Their reactions:
Friend 1: Crunchy
Friend 2: Like tempeh
Friend 3: The taste? I couldn’t tell you, but apparently as bad as it smells, that is, bitter and pungent. The texture, crunchy on the outside and just ever so slightly gooey on the inside…
