I would never eat Balut. Even if somebody would give 1 million dollars for eating that! NO! NEVER!  |

Next topic? Aside from balut/balot, what else do you think of when you hear the country, Philippines? Well, the capital city of the  Philippines (Manila) kinda reminds me of vanila ;D |

Okay, this isn't disgusting anymore. This is called 'halo-halo' or literally mix-mix in English. It is a dessert to compromise with the heat we always experience here. It is a mix of the following: sweet palm fruit, silky coconut, jackfruit, mung bean, banana-like plantain, purple yam, corn, coconut gelatin, pounded dried rice, crème caramel, pearls and ice cream (optional). Of course, it differs from one vendor to another. ;D See it for yourself:  |

Ew Most foreigners have the same reaction as yours. I can definitely imagine. ;D By the way, the blood of the duck is still in its watery form so it's as if you're sipping an ordinary soup from an egg shell. EWWWWWW |

Looks like  Thailand got some similar. After all those trippings I've been down there, I've seen something similar to this pic above  |

Volcanoes  Speaking of volcanoes, we used to have a perfect cone-shaped volcano named, Mayon Volcano in Albay but it's not a perfect cone-shaped anymore. Oh yeah I've heard of this before. Ya know, I collect Guinness World Record books, and I believe it was featured on one of the latest versions  Btw Balut looks tasty for me. I'm not fussy in this case  Everything with chicken can solve my hunger ;D  Oh I've found out that Thailand has "Kai Khao", which is similar to  the Philippines' "Balut". It's fertilized with an embryo for "Kai Khao". |
