| Say "Hi" duckling..! |

| Yummy! |
Balut is a fertilized duck egg or chicken egg with a nearly-developed embryo inside that is boiled and eaten in the shell.
It is eaten with salt only or salt and vinegar. I eat not more than two (2) baluts a day because eating too much of it may cause high blood pressure.
Balut is known to be an aphrodisiac and considered a high-protein, hearty snack. It is commonly sold as streetfood in the Philippines.
The pictures here were taken last April 2010 along Pedro Gil Street near the LRT (Light Rail Transit) Pedro Gil Station. That time, me and my friends used to eat streetfoods after our duty hours for our OJT (On-The-Job-Training) at Diamond Hotel Philippines. We also used to walk along Pedro Gil Street and eat different kinds of street foods such as "isaw" (chicken intestine), fish balls, chicken balls, squid balls, dried squids and many more. It's an enjoyable experience but also risky for the health.
