We always like to try new food in every country we go to, and all the locals said Balut was a unique thing we had to try! I know the Filipino community either loves or hates Balut. Who loves Balut that has tried it??
LOL... ha ha ha, I was laughing all the way until you both shared one BALUT, you both look hesitant and looking afraid lol , I just love both of your faces expression while doing it, lol, I felt both of your heart beat and sensing your fear from my lap top lol, but you did it anyways, it's all in your mind but then again it's your 1st time. I would never do it, lol, well it's in your bucket list, you have to do it. I love it, maybe 1 more balut to go. lol🤣😂😂
That was the best description ever 🤣....we really wanted to love it and be respectful to the local culture, but the baby duck embryo was just a whole new texture we've never experienced...😬 Maybe we will try a 12 day one like someone suggested if we have it again..
It's really good! I remember one night, there were three of us and we ordered 50 eggs (balut) and we finished them between us three, unforgettable night...
I guess we were just afraid because it was our first time. It really didn't taste bad...I think it was all in our mind because of the baby duck not looking good to us...
@@WorldFamilyExplorers it's good you tried it, next time you wouldn't even think of it, it's just food, you would even eat a whole duck, this is just an egg, hehehe... enjoy the Philippines, you'll meet the world's friendliest people.
I've only eaten it once tbh. There are actually different "ages". I must have had the 18-day Balut. Some say the 16-day Balut is best for beginners since the duck embryo isn't as developed yet. Btw, we don't use a plate when eating Balut. We peel off the shell little by little as we eat. And there's also the Balut Penoy which is just plain duck egg with no embryo. It has a richer taste than chicken egg. :)
Loved the video! I am vegan so i wouldn’t have tried the Balut, if I was not vegan I do not think I would have tried it! I wouldn’t be brave enough 🤣! Did the egg whites taste like a normal egg? Y’all were brave!
Yes, not a good food for Vegans! 😬 The egg whites tasted normal they were just more tough and rubbery! Everyone reading this comment you should check out our friend Sadie's TH-cam channel and subscribe if you're interested in Reptiles! 😊🦎🦎🦎
When i was a kid, the soup was my favorite and the yellow part. They say the technique is to eat the balut in the dark and do not look at the baby duck's eye while you eat it coz it might hunt you in your dreams.
🤣😂 We would have done better if we didn't take it apart. Hard to look at the Chick and think it looks tasty but it really didn't taste bad just the look and texture woukd take us some getting used to...😬
Before we tried it, we were under the impression that all Filipinos liked Balut, so it was a must to try it, but after making these videos, we found out that many do not like it. We like to try everything once for the experience. ☺️
@@WorldFamilyExplorers - lol, there is another one called - Dinuguan. Is a savory Filipino stew made with pork offal (typically lungs, kidneys, intestines, ears, heart and snout) and/or meat simmered in a rich, spicy dark gravy of pig blood, garlic, chili (most often siling haba), and vinegar. It's a traditional dish with a strong flavor and unique texture.
I remember our first try with balut back in late 90s, my brother got the almost a duckling in it, not an embryo, it don't have a yolk on it. I think it peeps in a few days if it wasn't boiled for consumption.😬
30 pesos is tourist price. They're usually 20 bucks each. The white part is called the stone and we throw that away. They yellow part is the yolk. The last part is the chick itself.
@eatsmylifeYT it was by a church during a festival. We were actually the only foreigners there! I can't remember the villiage name but everyone was so kind. Our oldest Son Logan ( 9 years old) had many female admirers and even got a marriage proposal! 🤣 There was only 1 Vendor Selling Balut, so I guess since there was no competition, they could name their price. I did see that in other areas, there would be 5 Balut vendors in a row that had to compete so they had lower prices...
@@WorldFamilyExplorers That makes sense. Also, I think you were in Bohol? I suppose it would be more expensive there since the balut would have come from Pateros, about thirty minutes away from BGC.
Thank you for Subscribing! We didn't even know the difference of different day old Balut when we tried it. I think we need to try younger ones next time! 😊
Not all Filipino eats balot besides its is chinese delicacy(mao dan) introduced in the Philippines by a chinese trader in1565 ....Try to sip the soup without the vinegar..put just a pinch of salt then peel the whole shell then hold the hard part just chew the whole yolk and embryo,don't dissect,don't think..then try another one with spice vinegar and salt..try also penoy😊
BALUT...CRINGING in the corner lol .😂🤣Eliese was so brave to go for it.actually, it's an acquired taste, not all Filipinos eat it, it is a regional thing. In Zamboanga City - Mindanao, we don't eat it, but recent migration of people from Luzon to this region now it has become available but is still hard to find if you want one unlike in Luzon like inManila. or Visayas like in Cebu.
actually balot is delicious if you know the proper way how to eat it... but if you didn't know its not good.. step 1 remove the skin until middle. put more vinegar and salt. and eat it whole while the ballot is in the mouth put more vinegar and salt to your mouth...so that it become more dilecios and to cover the strong taste .actually vinegar is the important of balot....
I’m from Philippines originally …..I wish people there would stop pushing balut to scare tourists. It’s one of the reasons why our cuisine hasn’t hit mainstream yet. I’m sure you got challenged by a local or a subscriber. Anyway, Balut isn’t even unique to the Philippines. You can also find it in Vietnam and other Asian countries. Balut is good if you don’t let it get to you. It’s a psychological thing, that’s also why back then it was sold and consumed at night so we won’t see what it looks like. You just eat it in a couple of bites. The broth is good….I saw that you guys put vinegar on it. When I was growing up we never put vinegar on Balut, just rock salt. I think it’s better without the vinegar. The white part we don’t even eat unless it’s not too tough. Gosh you’re brave eating it that way. We don’t even separate it. We just eat it blindly and enjoy it. You’re also lucky the chick is small.
We actually never saw Balut anywhere else in Asia except in the Philippines. I'm sure other countries also eat it, we just didn't find it. So when we came across it in Bohol, we figured why not give it a go! It's definitely a psychological thing, probably not something we'll eat again but we are glad we tried it!
We wanted to try it all to get the full experience. I guess we were a little scared since it was our first time trying and the baby duck was the hardest for us because the texture was a little slimy. We love trying foods from around the world that we never had...😊
i dont know why foreigners go straight for the balut 😂😂 maybe coz of lack of information online? but you should try PENOY 1st.. its the balut without the duck.
It was our first time trying it... we were doing our best to follow the instructions of the local. I'm sure it would have been better not to look at the Chick separately since it doesn't look too good..😬 We will try eating it all together next time and a 12 day as some suggested we would like better..😊
It was our first time trying them and the vendor didn't give us full instructions. If we try it again we will get a younger egg and eat it all at once. Everyone is telling us we will like it better that way! 😊
We always like to try new food in every country we go to, and all the locals said Balut was a unique thing we had to try! I know the Filipino community either loves or hates Balut. Who loves Balut that has tried it??
Oh yeah 😂 balut is soooo good ❤🎉
You both brave, im almost puke when you eat balut, im a Filipino but im not eating and even taste Balut in my life 😆
@@tuting1965 the taste was not too bad, but the look and texture was hard for us..🫣😬

We will try anything once! If we try it again we will do a younger egg like some suggested! 😊
@@WorldFamilyExplorers Yes, I always take the younger once. They are so much better. Thank you guys, enjoy the Philippines.🥰 God bless your Family 🙏
I hope you visit camiguin siargao romblon siguijor and balabac in palawan

With Balut ,you eat the yolk, sip the soup but do not eat the white stuff.Eaten straight from the shell so you do not see the baby duck .
Thank you! Wish we knew that because the white was quite tough. Not sure we'll try it again but now we know for next time 😉
you can try it again and ask for 16 days balut sa puti. because the one given to you was 18 days or 21 which is bigger duckling. love this channel.
Thanks! Maybe we will like it better when it is in the earlier stages...
We usually discard the tough white part, but kudos to your family for trying balut for the first time.
Thank you! Wish we knew that haha the white was quite tough
Great job... You are brave. I am Filipino and I haven't tried balut...
Thank you! ❤️ it's all mental, the flavor really wasn't bad. Give it a go at least once 😂
You live in Philippines?
Masarap yan balut pampalakas sa tuhod tapos cold San Miguel beer😂
Maybe we need to drink a few San Miguel beers first next time! 🤣

It really wasn't bad, I think we just had trouble getting passed the looks...
thanks for trying our balut hehehe
We were happy to try it but don't think we are the biggest fans...😬

Really miss my motherland ❤
We loved the Phillipines! You have a motherland to be proud of!
When i was a kid, the soup was my favorite and the yellow part. They say the technique is to eat the balut in the dark and do not look at the baby duck's eye while you eat it coz it might hunt you in your dreams.
I think a couple beers and eating it in the dark would be the best! 🤣😂🍺🍺🐣🐣
😂
@@lonski561 I hope I don't get hunted in my dreams! Ahhhhhh!
We are proud of you eating balot it's more good if drinking red horse beer
Thanks! 😊We've had the regular San Miguel but haven't had the Red Horse beer. That beer is stringer correct?
Balut, my favorite 😊
It really wasn't that bad, we just didn't like looking at it...😬 Maybe a younger one next time
Facing the fear. Hahaha. So fun to watch.
One of the most interesting things we've eaten in our travels. It's not really bad tasting, but it's hard to look at...😬🐣
@@WorldFamilyExplorers Yeah. Asians may have weird taste but it's so fun to be weird sometimes 😅
The kids in the background cheering you on but aren't brave enough to try themselves..😂
The kids definitely were a no for trying Balut ..😂
5:14 I was constantly laughing 😅😂😂. I’m a filipino but balut grosses me out hahaha
🤣😂 We would have done better if we didn't take it apart. Hard to look at the Chick and think it looks tasty but it really didn't taste bad just the look and texture woukd take us some getting used to...😬
Wow balut is one of my favorite food
The taste was pretty good, but the look and texture was a challenge for us being our first time!
It"s only in d mind
I agree, really didn't taste bad but hard to look at and think about..especially our first time trying it..
I am a bit behind but wow you all tried Balut! LOL I don't even eat it! YOLO! = You only live once! Love it! Ingats

You mean appitizer
Watching from dubai
Thanks for watching! We have been Dubai as well, you can find the videos on our channel! ☺️
I wouldnt eat the duckling part haha but I would eat the yellow or yolk part!
The texture of the ducking was hard for us even though it tasted ok.. ...😬
❤
😊❤️
Try balut again minus the vinegar just a bit of salt. DON’T put the balut on the plate, just eat it from the shell.
I think we want to try a younger day Balut and eat it the way you suggested, thanks! 😊

I guess we need to pay our Tourist tax!😊 The whites were very hard to chew, I guess that's why you throw them out!

The soup and the yellow Yolk were the best tasting part!😊 We feel the same was about the Chick..🐣
3 Balut compare 1 Redbull is same Power or energy hehe
Gives you wings!! Lol
u dont need to eat the white one.....if u dont like the baby duck u can eat the yellow only...its yummy if u put salt and vinegar...

@@WorldFamilyExplorers balut vendors also sell them.
Maybe they enjoy watching us scared to try it! 🤣 I'm sure they also want to share their personal love for it as a culural delicacy ❤️
That filipina balut vendor should tell you not to eat the white hard part of balut.
The white part was very rubber like and hard....
Nice try.
Thanks!☺️
Dont eat the white part of the egg😅
The local told us we can eat it all but the white was very hard and like rubber...😬
YOU DON'T EAT IT BIT BY BIT.... YOU PUT THE WHOLE OF IT INTO YOUR MOUTH AND CHEW IT..... what you did is you dissected the egg...🤔

I'm sure it would have been better not to look at the Chick separately since it doesn't look too good..😬 We will try eating it all together next time and a 12 day as some suggested we would like better..😊
Definitely gross to look at...
It tastes better than it looks!
OMG! How old is that? Looks nasty! 😅😂🤣
It looked pretty far formed. It definitely didn't look good!😬
Any explorer should get out of the comfort zone, otherwise you are just wasting your time to achieve your goal.
💯 agree 💗
It's a delicacy not every Filipino eats it. 2 thumps for you guys tried it.
No need to put it in the saucer, eat it straight up from the shell, typically done and much better.
It was our first time trying them and the vendor didn't give us full instructions. If we try it again we will get a younger egg and eat it all at once. Everyone is telling us we will like it better that way! 😊
