Why? Why Not? Balut Anyone?

My hubby started watching a particular cooking show that features dishes that can be prepared and cooked easy and fast.

One of the recipes that captured his interest is this "balut dish". I've never heard or seen such a dish, but because he was thrilled that he believes he can cook this recipe, he started talking me helping him in his task.


We bought corn oil, garlic, oyster sauce, ginisa mix, spring onions and of course " balut", six of them.

It was fun, for we did everything together . . . buying the ingredients, cooking the dish, plating the dish plus waiting for the kids to go home, taste it and comment on it.

One of my sons ate two pieces of balut, but my other son just looked on and never tried it. My younger son preferred my chicken-pork afritada with carrots, red pepper, mushrooms and baby potatoes.

My eldest son said both dinner dishes were winners!
