* Tinola Chicken is delicous
* Kilawin Tanigue (It's in season)
* Kare Kare

And compliment it all by washing it down with San Mig

:lol: Armand... Jolibee, it's a Filipino institution...


Oh and don't forget to stop at a roadside Burger Machine... yummy...

Also, in the morning... garlic rice and sweet tocino. Makes for great surface intervals... [burp]

(but the ladies I knew in the PI liked it tremendously - it IS an acquired taste!)

because they like slurping on a wet egg as that is what balut is a wet warm egg. and as

stvbrit

states, eggs with legs.

It's a duck embryo. One is 12 days and is almost all yolk at that point with the circulatory system well developed. You can see the veins but it's pretty much like a big, hard boiled yolk.

That's Penoy

You are confusing the two.

There's Balut and then there's Penoy... usually sold by the same vendor.

 

[clgsamson]

there's fried balut too, delicious!

 

[Kupu]

Fried balut? Hmmm.... is that crispy n crunchy? vs soft n crunchy?

And I think I prefer balut to a Jolibee burger...but thats just me, the place stays packed.

I love balut, but could never eat penoy. It's like drinking light-beer, or non-alcoholic beer.
