  "account": "The Disgusting Food Museum has arrived in Hong Kong, bringing a collection of over 80 of the world's most unusual and polarizing dishes for visitors to experience. Hailing from Sweden, the museum showcases a variety of foods, such as Surströmming, fermented herring from Sweden, fermented shark from Iceland, cheese with live maggots, frog smoothies, and Rocky Mountain Oysters – a term that might make you raise an eyebrow. The exhibition aims to challenge visitors' perceptions of what is considered \"disgusting,\" while also raising awareness of sustainable food options that could address future food security issues.\n\nIn addition to the shocking displays, the museum features new interactive exhibits tailored for the Hong Kong run, as well as collaborations with local perfumers to recreate the authentic scents of certain foods. Visitors can also try a selection of unusual foods, ranging from Australian Vegemite and crickets to fermented shark. Those who successfully complete the challenge will be awarded the title of 'Tastebud Warrior.'\n\nPriced at $68 for standard tickets from Mondays to Thursdays, and $88 from Fridays to Sundays, the museum offers early-bird discounts starting at $48 for a limited time. Don't miss out, as only 200 passes are available. If you're interested in receiving the latest updates, sign up for the free Time Out Hong Kong newsletter. Other recommended stories include Chill Hill, moon gazing in Hong Kong during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the International Lantern Spectacular.",
