If one feels adventurous, and can get over the environmental warnings, there's shark fin soup.
In Singapore you can also find bird's nest, famous for its medicinal properties. We had a long discussion about this; Bethany believed that it was made of actual bird's nest, while Adam couldn't accept that people ate powdered twigs and leaves, and that it must be a fungus with a peculiar name.
Bird's nest, according to the all-knowing Internet, is in fact the real nest of a bird. The bird forms the nest with his/her saliva, so the medicinal product is bird spit. At a chain drugstore, one could buy bird's nest in a variety of flavors and forms.
Finally, if one feels very adventurous, you can buy the following two items for their flavor or health-improving properties.
Those are dried seahorses and dried-and-sliced-flat lizards.
We'll definitely be back to Singapore, and we'll bring our appetites.
