Okay folks, I am gonna keep this one short. Was in Manila, this week on a biz trip. Just have a look at the pics. This nasty little treat of the Philippines It is called “Balut” (fertilized duck egg). I believe in this case it is true – pictures speak louder than words.
It sure was cooked!
This. is. crazy. And I’d love to try … dunno if I’ll go coldfeet last minute. Great blog
I’ve just added you on my blogroll as well. Cheers!
Thanks mate. You live in HK? You can sometimes find Balut in some of the small Philippino joints in Wanchai… I was told. I suggest to slurp the soup and eat the yellowish part, only. The texture of the duckling itself is nothing nice…
