pinoy, noypi.. about the philippines

[Rico]

I am lucky to have never got an up close and personal look at balut. My wife likes to eat balut and knows that if I take a look at it, I will tell her how disgusting it looks.

And yes I am currently living in the Philippines.

An interesting fact is that while Filipino is the national language, the language with the most speakers is Cebuano/Visayan.

I think it's time to go out to Jollibee for breakfast.

Balut isn't good for my blood pressure and I haven't even tried it. All I have to do is look at it and my blood pressure raises.

im a filipina living in the philippines!

i don't eat balut either, though my father always tells me it's healthy.

pancit is a must for all occasions and gatherings. i always prefer pancit bihon (thinner noodles) from pancit canton.

and yes, jollibee. i eat there at least once a week. haha!

don't forget philippine mangoes! a must try if you'll come visit the country!

Pancit canton. lumpia. adobo. It's all good.

Mangoes? The best in Asia.

You cannot fully call yourself a filipino if you haven't eaten a balut.

Cheers - Angelboy (Filipino, too, and eats balut whenever we have here in Hong Kong)

ok, i'll qualify my statement. I haven't eaten the entire thing yet. i cannot stand the sight, and much more, the texture of the baby duck that's why it's impossible for me to get to swallow it.

i've eaten a portion of balut. but it was a long time ago. i've had a bite of the yellow thing (don't know how i'd describe it, hehe)

one day, i'll challenge myself to eat balut without throwing away the poor baby duck.
