Balut eating

Back in March 2004, I made my maiden voyage to the land where pinoys are pinoys, Philippines. In fact it was a totally unplanned trip with no accomodation booking. Just a bold not so young man, caught a flight by redeeming his fly points from the national ailing air carrier of Malaysia.

Prior to the trip, we have been friends through a Java development project and I came into understanding relationships with three filipinos. They were kind enough to saviour back gifts from their homeland. In fact due to acquired knowledge from AXN fear factor, I got Alan to get me a few 'balut', check out wikipedia - balut. They provide in-depth information on this cooked / fertilized duck eggies.

Now here was a demonstration of eating a balut, by me. See the phone also damn old can prove the year roughly when this pictures were taken.

Step3 & 4


In order to enhance flavour, some suggested salt with vinegar. However, I recommend salt and sesame seed oil. Bon appetite people! Oh, it has been more than 18 months since I had my last balut.
