Top Independent in Pateros - Expedia

Balut is a 14 to 21-day old fertilized duck egg depending on how developed one wants the duck embryo is. Balut is a common street food that has its origins in China. Pateros is the balut-capital of the Philippines. Balut is boiled and then eaten with salt or some spiced vinegar. The way to eat balut: crack the shell, peel it bit by bit, slurp the soup (cooked amniotic fluid of the chick) before eating the egg and embryo. It is a favorite street food in the Philippines as it is cheap and nutritious. Another version for the less squimish is Penoy. It is an unfertized duck egg that is boiled. Depending on one's preference, it is just egg boiled with the consistency from runny to hard boiled - definitely no duck embryo on this one.

Grand Westside Manila Bay

8/10 Good

"There was some kind of rally thing. Way too many people taking up space. Couldn't enjoy pool cuz they were all there and lobby was overcrowded. Power in room also kept flipping off ever with key in slot. Got annoying while watching movie on tv. Beautiful property though, showers were really nice! "
