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.

Tess and Tessha Condotel near T3 Airport

5/5 Excellent

"I had a very comfortable stay in the property. No problem encountered. The owners are very accomodated. They even offered me to pick up at the airport (with minimal charge) since it was too hard to book a Grab Car at time of my arrival. The room was quite big. I recommend this property for your next stay near the airport."
