In Dumaguete, Have Balut and Tanduay Ice

It was a long weekend in the Philippines so we went on a sort of spur of the moment trip to Dumaguete (we actually went to Siquijor and Apo islands, too)

Near the famed boulevard of Dumaguete City, we settled for a round of Tanduay Ice at this place called Blue Monkey Grill.

The next night, we had Julien, a French guy traveling with us experience balut! This delicacy is now part of the appetizers menu in restaurants and thus, make for unconventional pulutan.


UPDATE: Finally have a video of the balut-eating experience. Enjoy!

Tapang ng French guy ha! I haven't eaten balut since I was five years old. After ko makita yung sisiw na trauma ako. Bwahaha!

I have only eaten balut twice! The first one was to just cross it out of a list and the second was to set an "example" to Swedish siblings that it is "good" hehe
