Balot – Chicken in an egg

There are some weird foods in Asia, everybody knows that. One of this is called Balot and is used to be a national food in the Philippines. It’s an egg with a chicken embryo inside. There are different kind of Balot around so the time the eggs have to lay around to get Balot are from 6 until 30 days. I tried one with 17days. The eggs get steam boiled and thats it. First step is to open the egg. Then slurp out the juice. After there is a dark part. Maybe this will get later the head. This one you have to slurp out again, its like jelly. Then at last there is the white part of the egg. This is partly soft partly hard like a boiled egg the most people know it already. It tastes a little bit like egg and smells little bit like chicken. I know this is not for everyone enjoyable but the pinoy believe it’s good for health. Some people here say it powers the body like coffee or redbull. For spicing it up you additionally use salt on it.
