Quail For Lunch

Ooopsss! Another food related post from me! Sorry Nick & Life Ramblings. :D

Do you like quail? Or have you eaten one?

Raimie had been asking about quails ever since he did his homework. He needed to list down 10 animals that can be eaten for his Malay Language homework and one animal we told him to write was 'burung puyuh" or quail. He was curious about the bird.

Have you ever seen quail in the wild? I used to see them by the stream in front of my parents' old home at my hometown but it's been like 20 years since I last seen a live quail out in the open.
Anyhoo... we went out for lunch on Saturday and what did we find served at the restaurant? Fried quails!
We ordered one bird for Raimie, along with fried rice to let him know how quails taste like.
He enjoyed eating it. Yummy! Taste like chicken. LOL

    really? Well, burung puyuh is not exactly featured in every makan place. Though I sometimes find it sold at Pasar Malam/Bazaar Ramdhan. ;)
