Horseshoe crab in Ho Chi Min city. It was alright. Not much meat.

Mind you I've eaten a lot of stuff that could be considered exotic. Jellyfish is pretty good.

I had a duck egg containing a baby duck in HCM. It was ok. I stopped when it got crunchy.

Balut. I was going to try it

It's pretty normal tasting. If you're a bit leery of it, try getting the quail version, you may find them easier to start with. We call them cút lộn. Watch your tonal pronunciation or you'll ask for a "large feces".

Never tried the horseshoe crab here, I actually forgot that we eat that.
