Another photo shows a group of people weighing what seems to be thousands of dead lizards on a weighing scale.

We’re not sure if you’ll be able to dabao them back to Singapore for your relatives to try –you’ll have to check ICA’s guidelines lest you get stopped at Customs.

Maybe if the lizards on the rice bowl were deep-fried in salted egg sauce or come with a side of sambal chilli, we may even consider taking a bite.
