Those of you who are Chinese would most probably know what is “waxed duck” or otherwise known as lup ngap (Cantonese) or lak yak (Mandarin). Both terms mean “wax” in the respective dialect. It looks like an oily waxed meat but is actually salt preserved meat that needs to be steamed cooked first before eating as it is otherwise too tough to chew. Waxed duck is normally only eaten during Chinese New Year and the ones sold in Kuching are imported from China.
Ok, now that you know what waxed duck is; have you heard of “waxed dog”?? Well now you have; and here is the gruesome picture as proof, courtesy of my fine friend William T who has a fondness for food but he has taken it way past the limit this time. (But it’s a dog’s life he quipped.) Dog lovers would certainly have a fit with this one!
Do you think the authorities will allow the importation of waxed dog for the coming Chinese New Year; even if it’s the Year of the Dog? I would think especially not! Is anyone hungry now?

So there are still people that eat dog meat down in Southeast Asia, I see. I’ve often wondered what it would taste like…but not enough to try it…
oh dear!
i don’t think i can manage that… eating chicken n duck is ok but this is… well, the reason is people’s perception of which kind of domestic animals can be eaten and what cannot be eaten are shaped up by our cultural background.

I have seen these pictures before, even in more details… I just can’t believe it how cruel those ppl are and how sad are those dogs.

Good post, Francis! Thank you for the photos. The very idea of killing, preparing in such a fashion, and eating these dogs is macabre.
W.E.N.D.Y., if you want to see waxed human, just go down to a popular surfers’ beach.

This makes me very sad.
