Dena, the food stalls were amazing! Such an abundance of food...vegetables and yes crispy critters, all so beautifully displayed! While the fried scorpions and sauted centipedes didn't exactly excite me, there really was so much that looked delicious. I did have a vegetable pancake thing that was wonderful. After talking with a few people (our guide, Jane, and the concierge people at the hotel who all adamantly shook their head NO and warned of bad cooking oils) I decided to pass on the food there. Actually I'm a pretty fearless and adverturous eater....but common sense prevailed. I just didn't want to risk getting ill while on vacation. I do think, though, that a few more visits and I would have tried more of the goodies!
