7. Pinoy Foodlicious- BALUT

Balut

There’s no street food snack in the Philippines more famous (or possibly infamous) than balut — a partially developed duck egg embryo: you could call it the king of all Filipino street foods!

It’s a snack that’s readily available, and very popular to eat, especially in the evening.

In order to eat balut, you crack a small hole at the top of the shell, and first drink out the chicken soup. You can then peel the rest of the egg, season with salt and vinegar, and eat the embryo and yolk.

Walking around a local market in the Philippines is a great place to try balut.
