Would you care for a bite?

 Would you care for a bite?

Let me introduce to all of you, some of the famous exotic foods in the Philippines that I already tried and tasted.

Let me give you some trivia about these exotic foods that I'm telling you.

"Balut" is not only popular in the Philippines, but also in Southeast Asian countries like Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. "Balut" is a fertilized duck egg that is boiled and eaten from its shell.

Other famous exotic foods that I know is "Camaro", which are field crickets cooked in soy sauce, salt and vinegar and it has been known in the province of Pampanga.

Lastly is the "BETUTE/FROG" which is also popular in Pampanga. This exotic food tastes better when fried or cooked in "Adobo". 


You've seen all the photos, and you've got

to wonder what are these one of a kind meals?

Well, this is the delicacy of the Philippines.

When I tried each of them, their "flavor/taste" was weird but different at the same time. "Camaro" tasted bitter if not washed or cleaned properly.

When I was a kid, I don't like the "sisiw/duck" of "Balut" because its texture was disgusting especially the hair/fur. Now, that I get older I always crave for "Balut" and I can bravely eat its "sisiw/duck".

"Betute or Frog" is my favorite among these exotic foods because it tasted like fried chicken. The stuffing was also quite flavorful.

I got the chance to eat all of them because my grandmother always cook these meals for us when we we had a farm and "palayan" during that time. We're lucky enough to experience this one of a kind but fun moment that I'll surely treasure forever.

These exotic foods are really "MUST TRY". Don't hesitate to eat and try for a once in a lifetime experience.
